Frequently Asked Questions
What does a millet pillow feel like?
It provides a smooth, fluid support that gently molds to your head and neck. Customers often compare the sensation to sleeping on soft, fine sand. It offers contouring support without the noticeable firmness or rustling sound of buckwheat hulls.
How does it compare to buckwheat or memory foam?
A millet pillow is the quiet and silky alternative to buckwheat. Unlike memory foam which often traps heat and has a chemical smell, millet hulls are all-natural and allow air to circulate freely, ensuring a cool night's sleep.
Does it help with neck pain and posture?
Absolutely. The tiny, round millet hulls make micro-adjustments to perfectly fill the space beneath your neck, promoting healthy spinal alignment and reducing strain. This consistent support is especially helpful for relieving tension and encouraging relaxed breathing throughout the night.
How long does a millet pillow last?
With proper care, a PineTales millet pillow is a long-term investment in your sleep, typically lasting 5–8 years. You can also purchase additional millet hulls to refresh the fill over time and maintain your perfect level of support.
How do I clean and care for it?
Cleaning is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Unzip the cover and carefully pour the millet hulls into a separate container.
2. Machine-wash the empty cover on a gentle cycle and let it air dry completely.
Important: Never get the millet hulls wet. To naturally refresh them, spread them out in a sunny, dry spot for a few hours.
