Buckwheat Pillows

How do I clean a Buckwheat pillow?

Description: 

Buckwheat pillows contain hulls that are fully cleaned to ensure they are free from dust and debris.  Since it is almost impossible to dry soaked buckwheat hulls, we do not recommend cleaning the hulls.
We advise the use of an organic cotton pillowcase with our pillows. If you suffer with allergies, or find you perspire a great deal while you sleep,  we also recommend a tencel pillow protector. For the ultimate dust mite allergy protection we highly recommend the MiteGuard pillow covers.
 

Why an Organic Buckwheat pillow?

Description: 

Buckwheat is commonly mistaken for a grain, but it is actually a fruit, related to the rhubarb family.  Buckwheat pillows are stuffed with hulls of buckwheat, the husks that protect the kernels. Buckwheat hulls are roasted to remove dust from the growing fields, before before being placed into a pillowslip. 

Buckwheat is a natural, inexpensive and renewable resource, unlike the petroleum-based foam used in many pillows. In addition to environmental bonuses, buckwheat pillows provide excellent support for the head, neck and back because the hulls contour to the weight and shape of the body during sleep. Buckwheat pillows and body pillows also provide natural air circulation between individual hulls, resulting in ideal temperatures for peaceful sleeping. Buckwheat is resistant to any dust mite infestation.

For centuries people throughout Asia have praised the value of Buckwheat Hull pillows. With care (no pillow fights!), these pillows can last upwards to 20 years.   They have a scrunchy, grainy texture and are lightweight and airy.
