| Is
there information on buckwheat pillows and pillowcases? |
|
| |
The
Birkett Mills "Soba" Buckwheat Hull Pillow is filled with
specially processed buckwheat hulls made by the world's largest
Buckwheat Mill located in Upstate New York, USA. This is the all
natural Soba pillow that has been used for centuries in Japan for
extraordinary comfort.
Why
buckwheat hulls? Buckwheat hulls are light and flowing and move
with you to cradle the contiurs of your neck and shoulders with
soothing support. Fully adjustable, The Birkett Mills Buckwheat
Pillow provides just the right support in every sleeping position.
Plus, buckwheat hulls allow air to flow through the pillow keeping
your head cool and dry and, unlike foam or down, resist breakdown
for many years. Moreover, the hulls used in our pillows are processed
using buckwheat free of herbicides/pesticides and are considered
hypoallergenic.
Pillow
cases are made from 100% cotton and are available in white only.
