I am going to try the Regen. pillow, from Pur Sleep, I think the plush cover will help with the bit of noise the buckwheat may make. I think the buckwheat sound while I contour it to accommodate the mask will far outweigh the noisy rush of air that the mask makes in a regular pillow. IMHO

My husband used down exclusively until he found out it was the culprit of causing his annoying constant nasal drip. He gave up the down and the drip went away. He missed it for years until recently finding my Regenesis buckwheat hull pillow. Now he's happy again.

I finally sat down yesterday evening and made a cover for my thin Wally World contour memory foam pillow.
The original cover is fuzzy, and not good for my hair.
I serged a nice tricot cover out of a thrift store slip.
Thank you; I am so clever.

I use the artificial down pillow from Walmart and I love it. No more allergy problems from the real down pillows. I like my pillow kind of flat and I can make this pillow flat or fluffy and it's very, very soft and comfortable.

Absolutely love my Sobakawa Cloud Pillow and wouldn't take for it! Even have a small size that you can find at Bed, Bath & Beyond or even Walmart for $19.99. Perfect size for travel! From what I'm reading here, it acts like the hull pillows but without the potential allergy issues. Just form it the way you want and sleep like a baby! The full size can be purchased online for $29.99 + shipping and the do have a large size as well. More information here....https://www.buythepillow.com/?s_kwcid=T ... tgodNBp0JQ

Regenesis for me too! And Pur-Sleep essential oil aromatherapy! Both awesome products.

It was noisy at first, but now I can't remember if it's still noise or not (after 18mths). I'll have to check when I get home now - could be I'm just used to it, but have a feeling it's quieter after a lot of use.

Cheers,
xena
