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.
