Discover the comfort of Buckwheat hulls & Wool Pillows
Buckwheat seeds are similar to the seeds of sunflower. Their hard outer shell is known as hull. Due to their shape, the buckwheat hulls in a pillow allow air to circulate throughout the pillow and dissipate your body temperature evenly; keeping your head cool in the summer and warm in winter. Moreover, the easy moving of the hulls in the pillow provides comfortable support to your neck and your spine.
Designed and Made in Canada
Benefits of buckwheat hulls-filled pillows:
- allows your head to rest while distributing the weight evenly; thus preventing neck pain
- help relieving muscles pain, therefore helps combat insomnia related to muscle discomfort.
- keep you cool and comfy all night
Comfort of buckwheat hulls and wool pillows:
The buckwheat & wool pillow offers both firmness and softness. One side of the pillow is filled with buckwheat hulls while the other side is filled with a layer of organic wool.
- adds a layer of softness to the firm yet flexible buckwheat pillow
- muffles the sound of the buckwheat hulls, making the pillow more "silent"
- wool prevent dust mites from living in the pillow
- allows sleepers to rest their head either onto the soft wool side of the pillow while still getting the support of the buckwheat hulls, or to rest their head onto the molded-feel sometimes-rustling hulls side of the pillow
