An organic buckwheat pillow from L-OMA™ is a high quality, full or travel-sized organic buckwheat pillow produced in Maine. Because an organic buckwheat pillow conforms to the head, neck and spine, extra comfort is realized which optimizes the sleeping position.
L-OMA™ was established by Heidi Fogarty in 1993 after a family trip to Germany, where she first encountered buckwheat pillows. After owning and operating the company herself for over ten years, she decided to retire. She donated the entire operation to The Bridges Foundation, which now uses L-OMA Organic Buckwheat Pillows™ to further its mission of helping people with disabilities to ultimately help themselves.
