China City near Khao Sarn road sells a few kinds of buckwheat hull filled pillows for under B100 each. The challenge is finding ones that are new stock (don't smell moldy).

In Canada I was delighted with a Dr. Something-or-other (Japanese) buckwheat pillow. They are great for the tropics. Much cooler and better support than fabric/foam/cloth filled pillows. Plus, should one find a source of refills, 'rechargeable'.

However, I haven't been able to find anyone in Bangkok selling the stuff by the kilo (maybe by the ton). I have some pillow projects in mind, at first personal use, then maybe business. A new age type health resort in Chiang Mai sells them but won't disclose his source, understandably I suppose.

According to my research, the highest quality of buckwheat hulls come from Eastern Europe. I think it's Ukraine. Chinese sources are much cheaper and require quality control so they don't sprout insects!

Anyone found buckwheat pillows or buckwheat hulls, or the grain itself ('kasha' - great to eat)?

At last week's BIH fair at Muang Thong Thani, these pillows and mattresses were being sold by a Thai company called Good Guy Group Co. Ltd. They are located in Bangkok, and their phone # is listed as 02-747-0364-5. Their website is www.pillow100year.com.

I know nothing about the company, but did pick up one of their brochures.
