SUNFLOWER Buckwheat Hull Pillow

Buckwheat is not a grain like the name would suggest. It is a triangular seed from a fruit that is related to the rhubarb and is native to Asia and Northern Europe. The buckwheat seeds are milled and extracted from the hard, outer shell, then ground into flour and used to make pancakes, beer, noodles and groats in Asia and Europe. Sunflower Buckwheat Hull Pillows are made with the hulls of organic buckwheat seeds grown in Canada.

The hull, or husk, is the hard outer shell of the buckwheat seed that is removed from the seed as part of the milling process. They are dark brown in colour and can have up to 3 sides. One side of the hull resembles a popcorn kernel husk

The triangular shape of the hulls allows natural airflow through the pillow, keeping your head cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The hulls have a natural springiness to them and will move to form to the shape of your head when you lay down. Once you're in position, they "lock" into place, supporting your head and neck while you sleep. Most people report that they sleep better after a couple of days and they don't toss and turn through the night.
