Are niche pillows and cases worth it? (leminal.space)

The picture I linked is of a buckwheat pillow. Had no idea they were a thing before today.

What about silk or bamboo pillow cases?

I've only ever really used cotton pillow cases and cotton stuffed pillows. I recently upgraded to a foam pillow that I'm enjoying.

Silk pillow cases are awesome! I've upgraded my linens in the last couple of years and silk pillowcase are probably my favorite splurge. I have two and i try to steal my husband's so i can have one on the bed and one on deck for change day.

I feel like the only person who hates them. They trap heat like it's nobody's business.

That is really good to know! Do you use a real silk one ($100+), or the "silk" ones off Amazon? I've always wanted a real one.

Mine is from brooklinen and I think it's mulberry silk. Sometimes weird colors/patterns go on sale. I'll look for a link...
