Levoberg Round Buckwheat Hull Pillow Neck Roll Pillow Cervical Support Pillow with Removable Cotton Cover for Sleeping

I bought this with the intention of using it to provide heat to my lower back. I emptied out (and saved) about half of the filling, which resulted in a malleable, soft pillow which I heat in my microwave oven for about a minute and then put against my lower back when I'm sitting in a chair. It works perfectly! I'd been using a "rice bag" which is white rice in a cotton gym sock. The rice bag provided nice heat but was too hard against my back. The buckwheat hulls are gentler on my back, but still retain their warmth adequately for my purpose.

This is probably the fastest return I'm going to do ever. This pillow upon opening at first I left thought it will expand but later realized it is genuinely very small. Next I realized the stuffing inside is in an open bag (not even stiched, imagine such low quality) and some black shells kinda scary stuff is in there. Packed it right away and tomorrow going back to return as the seller did not portray the size and other details infact it is as inaccurate product to the description as it could have been.

It was a little hard for my taste, but the size is good. An attractive item.

The Levoberg neck roll is firm. That's no exaggeration. But it can be adjusted.Untie both ends of the cover and look for the end of the inner roll that is twisted shut; that end can be opened. (The other end is sewn closed.)Then pour out a portion of the buckwheat hulls to achieve a comfort level that's appropriate for you. (Note: Be sure to re-twist the end or tie it off with something to prevent hulls from spilling out before you lie down on it.)I've tried different neck rolls. The McKenzie cervical roll worked well for me until it became compressed from use. I switched to a memory foam roll, and it's just too firm for me, and I can do nothing to change that.And so I was happy to read that I could reduce the firmness of the Levoberg roll by removing some of the hulls. And the roll won't compress with use over time like the McKenzie roll.

Why use metal ties on the drawstrings that close the cover? Everything else about this is great. It’s so over stuffed that it’s solid. It’s easy to empty a few hulls out to adjust firmness. The purple stripe cover is cute & comfortable. Other than the metal bits, I recommend it based on price & overall construction. Have been using it for weeks & would definitely buy another.

I’ve included some photos for color and size.It’s very comfortable after removing about 1 cup of the inside hulls. It’s extremely firm before removing some of the contents. I suspect I will probably remove a bit more before it feels just right. I will add a zipper to the inside bag because I’m nervous the stuffing will come out of the open, rolled up end. I saved what I took out and will save it in case I need to add more at some point.I’ve used every pillow I could find. From travel pillows to infant pillows, to rolled up towels and always find things too hard or too soft. You can see it pictured with some of the collection. I have several bulging discs on my neck and sleep very poorly. A regular cervical pillow is WAY too big for my neck and even the half roll pillows are as well. The travel pillow it’s pictured with is still mostly too high so this is the perfect height being slightly smaller than the back of the neck part of the travel pillow.I have really high hopes that after some period of adjustment this will be perfect.

Not comfortable..

I used to wake up most nights with sore shoulders and a sore neck. Often I couldn't turn my head completely to the side. I tend to prefer a lower profile on pillows but they don't provide any neck support and my shoulders end up scrunched up tight to my ear when I'm sleeping on my side (rarely slept on my back.) I've tried cervical pillows made of foam and memory form, but all were too big to fit beneath my neck where I needed it and served more as a regular pillow for my head. This smaller diameter pillow provides the perfect support for me. It's firm, so it doesn't squish and lose support. It fits perfectly beneath my neck, keeping the curve, and doesn't lift my shoulders off the mattress. It's so comfortable, that whereas before I spent maybe 10 % of the time on my back before shifting onto my side, now I sleep almost entirely on my back. I attribute this to my airways being opened properly and my shoulders settling comfortably. My soreness is gone and my neck cramps are gone. One night, I accidentally knocked this pillow off and slept without. I woke up with the old pain. So I slid this pillow back under my neck and dozed for a bit. When I sat up, the pain was gone. I guess it sorted the alignment out. I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but this is working perfectly for me and I'm grateful for it.

I was looking to try a more minimalistic pillow and this looked like the perfect one to try. It arrived securely packaged, excellent quality and looked exactly like the picture! I'm excited to give this a try.I had to reach out to the seller and they were wonderful and helpful. Happy with this purchase.

I loved that this product came in the 3 2\3/4 size. All I was able to find in North America were neck rolls that were 4=5 inches which is huge!I also love that the cover comes off for hygiene.I do wish that whomever shipped it had have closed off the end of the pillow, as when I took it out I had no idea there was an open end and little beans ended up all over!Other than that, product was great. Arrived within promised time, it's extra firm just how I like it.
