With a large buckwheat roller you can:

  • use in bed as a body support when reading a book before going to bed,
  • rest your leg on it if you sleep on your side - this position causes your spine to be parallel to the ground, which can prevent or help with lumbar pain,
  • if you sleep on your side, you can just cuddle up to the roller. Its structure and pleasant firmness will pleasantly press against your body, giving you a hugging feeling.

 

MEDITATION:

If you are a beginner / tall (approx. 1.9-2.0 m high) / not stretched, this pillow will be perfect for meditation. When you place the pillow horizontally, it gives you the right height to keep your hips higher than your knees if you sit in the lotus position. 

You can also place a roller between your legs while sitting down in a Japanese sit-down, which will give you a stable support for formal meditation practice.

The wedge-shaped seat cushion with buckwheat hull filling is an orthopedic seat cushion. Its wedge shape ensures proper alignment of the pelvis which affects the entire body posture while sitting.

Its elastic filling with buckwheat hull allows the cushion to adjust to the buttocks, which is important for people suffering from various diseases that make it difficult to sit comfortably.

SITTING ON A CHAIR

An ideal set for office work is a Wedge Seat Cushion and a Small Buckwheat Roller as a lumbar support or as a back support along the spine (Small Buckwheat Roller)

Small buckwheat roller

The Small Buckwheat Roller can be used to support the lumbar spine by laying it across your back. With this support, your spine will be in a neutral position.

Placing the roller vertically, along your spine, this pillow will give you stable and pleasant support while leaving room for your shoulders to open. When you lean against a chair, your shoulders automatically round. If you support your back with a roller placed vertically, your shoulders will have plenty of room to move.

SLEEPING

The Small Buckwheat Roller is the perfect support for the cervical spine. According to the opinions of our customers, thanks to this pillow they wake up without stiffness in the neck and without a headache. If you choose a Small Buckwheat Roller to sleep on it, choose the roller from the BE NATURAL collection, which has an outer cover made of a natural and breathable fabric. Thanks to the filling made of ecological buckwheat husk, your pillow will always be pleasantly cool. 

If, on the other hand, you have very broad shoulders and you often sleep on your side, a Moon Pillow may be a better solution for you.

SITTING

You can use a small Buckwheat Roller to support the lumbar spine by placing it across your back. Thanks to this support, your spine will be in a neutral position.

Nowadays, in which we often encounter sedentary work or a sedentary lifestyle, we often assume a hunched body position, which causes flattening of the natural lordosis of the spine. By supporting the lumbar section with a Small Buckwheat Roller, we force the position in which our spine is in a neutral position for it. Importantly, such back support during office work, or activities that you perform while sitting, will not replace proper spine exercises, for which you should spend at least 10 minutes a day. 

By arranging the roller vertically along the spine, this pillow will give you a stable and pleasant support while leaving room for the shoulders to open. As you lean back against the chair, your arms automatically round off. If you support your back with a vertical roller, your arms will have plenty of room for movement.

Complementing the Small Buckwheat Roller as a support for the seat is a Wedge Seat Cushion. In our opinion, choose these pillows at the same time, or even start with a Wedge Seat Cushion if you are looking for a pillow that will primarily support this part of your life. 

LAVENDER EYE PILLOW

The eye pillow with lavender filling mixed with linseed gives a pleasant sensual experience.

The shape of the pillow completely blocks the access of daylight or artificial light, which allows you to relax during the day, during the so-called "power nap" or tall asleep in the evening.

The original shape of the eye pillow has been designed in a completely thoughtfull way. Its pleasant weight and coolness that covers not only the surface of the eyes, but also the forehead, temples and cheekbones - by applying gentle pressure on these parts of the face, it helps to release the tensions held in these parts of the face, and thus often reduces headaches and allows you to deeply relax. 

ENVELOPE CUSHION

The WELLB Envelope Pillow is an alternative to a regular yoga bolster or a cylinder-shaped pillow used for rehabilitation exercises. 

YOGA AND REHABILITATION

Its form has been designed so that it ideally supports the torso of a beginner exercising or a person with reduced flexibility in the spine, or a person with a broad torso. 

MOON CUSHION

The Moon Pillow is our most versatile pillow filled with ecological buckwheat husk. Its shape has been carefully designed so that it hugs the human body as much as possible. 

WORKING & READING

MEDITATION

The Crescent Moon Pillow is the perfect support for the buttocks and thighs in sedentary meditation practice. Its wedge-shaped shape positions your body so that your hips are higher than your knees, preventing blood circulation from being blocked. 

The crescent shape, unlike standard round meditation cushions, supports your entire thighs. The usual round pillows support the buttocks halfway, putting pressure on the sciatica, which often causes numbness in the leg. Thanks to the ergonomic shape of the croissant-shaped pillow, you can sit comfortably and focus on your practice.
