Is it safe to sleep with buckwheat hull bucky pillow around your neck all night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Unless you have an allergy or sensitivity to the materials in the pillow or it is somehow contaminated with bacteria or other organisms, it should be safe. This also assumes that you do not have a condition that made your neck unstable (such as major neck trauma, severe rheumatoid arthritis).
