subject: Shopping For An Affordable Buckwheat Pillow [print this page] There are so many different choices for pillow fillings today, including buckwheat hulls, millet hulls, traditional cotton stuffing, feathers and more. It can become confusing when you are trying to find the best product for you, and it is no wonder it seems everywhere people turn there are new products filled with new things that are all supposed to have some sort of magical powers! How are consumers supposed to know which ones are best for them and their bodies?
One of the most popular types of cushions today is a buckwheat pillow, and although these have been used for hundreds of years in Asia, they are just now becoming popular in the United States and in Europe. There are at least a dozen good reasons as to why so many people enjoy using these hulls for a filling in their pillows, and here are just a few of the most popular reasons. First of all, these hulls are hardened in texture so they do not lose their shape like traditional fillings do. Although the hulls are solid, they are small so when they are used in a bunch together like in a pillow, the cushion as a whole is very soft and supportive. In addition, the hulls do not break down like other fillings might.
Many people who love their products when they buy them find that it is only a matter of time before the products lose their supportive shape in no time at all, and they also might become dusty and dirty, harboring dust mites and all kinds of gross little pests. There are also many people who are actually allergic to the fibers in traditional cushions, mainly because they are produced as they are loaded in chemicals, toxins and harsh products that are used mostly for preservation. People actually inhale small amounts of chemicals and pesticides from their pillows as they sleep, but those that are made with buckwheat hulls are all natural, they are hypo allergenic, they do not harbor dust mites and they also stay dust free as well.
The buckwheat pillow also requires little to no care and maintenance, and can easily last 5 years or more with proper care. Instead of worrying about washing them in the washing machine, these little cushions can be laid out in the sun for a few hours every couple of months to freshen up and rejuvenate, no washing required. If you are interested in owning a new buckwheat pillow, you may want to get on the Internet to scope out all of the different websites that offer you great products.
