I came across this today and thought it was interesting and might intrigue some people here. http://www.etsy.com/shop/openyoureyesbedding If you click her profile you will see she sleeps on 2" of latex with this topper and says "My first night on my new, hand made bed, I imagined Kings and Queens sleeping on buckwheat hulls. Just the right support, and just the right amount of give." Who knows, it just might be the perfect solution for someone who can't quite get their "perfect feel" with anything else I think I would tend to use a little more latex though lol Phoenix |
I had to laugh when I read this. In my family, I am known for "squatting on my haunches" and joke that I must have been african or aboriginal in another life. Seriously though, I even do this on chairs ... for long periods of time ... as it is quite comfortable to me. Your post is a great reminder of how important it is sometimes to move outside of "programmed thinking", "consensus ideas", and "marketing hype" when it comes to finding something (like a mattress) that fits our own unique needs.

I totally agree about the ergonomic chair thing. I posted a link here some time ago about the ergonomic chair thing not working. Flat seated chairs are better. Good luck finding those. I do try to think outside of the box. Just because someone else likes it doesn't mean I will either. We are all unique individuals..... |
Somewhere in my search I read something about about these buckwheat hull toppers and someone said they liked it. I find it intriguing and would love to test one out but they are too far away and these are very expensive so it's a no go. |
I guess if you don't like it and get hungry in bed, you could always eat it... |

I wouldn't want to eat them unless I was a bird, or they were cooked, LOL. They are very hard and have no give, LOL. |
My buckwheat hull pillow is loud. I can't imagine what an entire bed of it would be like, crunching all night...I think the shop's name of "open your eyes bedding" is probably accurate! |
