BUCKWHEAT HULLS WHOLE

Buckwheat hulls are used to stuff cushions, pillows and headrests of various shapes and sizes (travel pillows, car cushions, back rests, etc.). Buckwheat hulls are obtained when the outer casing is removed from buckwheat kernels being made into groats. The hulls are sieved and cleaned with forced air to remove fragments and dust. They are not fumigated or treated in any other way. Aliments Trigone inc. offers two different qualities of buckwheat hulls, depending on whether they are organic or not. Pillows and cushions stuffed with buckwheat hulls are very comfortable. They are generally smaller and heavier than their conventional counterparts. Buckwheat hull pillows and cushions adapt to the shape of the body and provide firm, even support. They help to alleviate neck stiffness, back pain, muscular tension, insomnia and headaches, enabling those who suffer from such problems to enjoy a restorative sleep. These pillows and cushions do not accumulate humidity or heat from the body and remain cool and dry. They are very durable and can last for over 10 years. As a fill, buckwheat hulls make good sense ecologically, since they come from a renewable source and are compostable. Unlike animal down, buckwheat hulls are not allergenic, and only in extremely rare cases cause a reaction in certain sensitive individuals.
