How to choose your first pillow?

By Anna BieniasNovember 22, 2021

We get a lot of messages from you about how to choose your first Plantula. We are happy to write back, talk and advise. However, for those of you who have doubts and want to dispel them now - we have prepared a small guide !

Hardness

If you prefer to sleep on:

hard filling - here we recommend our best-selling pillow with buckwheat and millet filling.
soft filling - for fans of soft filling we have enveloping spelled .
medium soft filling - a double-sided pillow combines everything you may need - on one side filled with buckwheat, and on the other with spelled.

Ailments

If you suffer from symptoms related to:

back pain - we have buckwheat for you , although we admit that each of the husks works great for the spine! Buckwheat, due to its hardness and stability, does not bend or spring, but evenly holds the weight of the body. This is why tense neck and nape muscles can finally relax. The shaped pillow (with a recess for the head and a roller under the neck) is healthy for the spine - it sets it close to the neutral position and helps in its regeneration - the intervertebral discs are better hydrated and muscle tension is beneficially reduced.
migraines - buckwheat will gently massage your head, improve blood circulation, relieve tension. Thanks to this, it prevents or relieves migraines.
insomnia - although with its long-term occurrence, it is necessary to take a closer look at the problem, each of our pillows will certainly help here .
sweating and snoring - thermally cool buckwheat will work best here.
menstrual pain, sinus pain, rheumatic pain - our secret weapon for this is a pillow filled with spelled . Pleasantly warm, thermally spelled will pass the exam with flying colors. A pillow with spelled can be additionally warmed on a radiator and used as a warm, relaxing compress for sore spots.
neuralgia, overstimulation, chronic stress - sleeping on a hard pillow filled with millet hulls will soothe, relax and calm down. If you prefer to introduce more softness, obtaining a similar effect - spelled is waiting for you.

Additional likes

Maybe you need something more?

nice, cold pillow - buckwheat is a cool husk, so if you turn the pillow in search of a colder place - you will definitely be satisfied.
warm, enveloping pillow - spelled stores heat, thanks to which it wraps and relaxes so well, e.g. during menstruation or sinus pain.
noiseless pillow - although we get used to the rustling that many of you relax after about a week, we may want to limit it for many reasons. If you need it - choose millet , it gives the impression of sleeping on sand.

Allergy

A pillow with buckwheat filling is considered safe for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Its composition includes phenolic compounds and tannins, i.e. natural plant tannins that prevent the development of bacteria, mites and arachnids. That is why we recommend this filling also for small children - already over the age of one.

Size

The standard size we recommend is a 45x60cm pillow. For people who care about a larger size, we have a size of 50x75cm . Wondering about an egg? Great selection but not everyday. In the news, we always emphasize that Jasiek ( 40x40cm ) is used for special tasks. You can take it on a journey, on a train, use it to relax the loins or as an additional support under the thoracic spine. However, we do not recommend replacing an ordinary pillow with an egg.

Or maybe for a gift?

Are you buying Plantula for a gift and you are not sure about the recipient's preferences? Take a double sided pillow . You will receive one pillow with two fillings, one of which will definitely meet your expectations.

Or maybe you know that a person needs something special for the package of ailments that accompany them? The husk for special tasks is buckwheat and you often choose it too.
