Buckwheat hulls, also known as buckwheat husks, are the hard outer shells of the buckwheat grain. Since the 14th century, buckwheat hulls have earned a reputation as a natural filling material, making them the most popular plant-based filling for pillows such as head pillows, meditation cushions, yoga bolsters, stuffed toys, and mattresses, due to their excellent supportive and breathable qualities, as well as their long-lasting resilience and firmness.
This versatile, plant-based product is entirely free from pesticides, residues, and contains no foreign buckwheat components. Each batch is tested by an independent party to ensure this quality.
Buckwheat hulls are an excellent choice as filling for cushions, meditation cushions, and other products where breathability and firm support are desired. The sturdy hollow shells of the buckwheat hulls ensure optimal air circulation while simultaneously providing a supportive, shape-retaining surface that adapts to the contours of the body.
Thanks to its resilience and shape-retaining properties, buckwheat hulls are a favoured filling. As a result, the cushion maintains optimal comfort, even after prolonged use. A plant-based, sustainable choice for cushions that require adjustable and stable support.
Buckwheat hulls are widely used as a filling in orthopaedic head pillows. Due to their adaptability, they offer targeted support for the spine, helping to improve sleep quality and alleviate neck and back discomfort.
The hollow structure of buckwheat hulls allows for natural ventilation, helping to regulate moisture. This contributes to a drier and cleaner sleeping environment, reducing the risk of mould and dust mites.
Traditionally, buckwheat hulls have been used for centuries in meditation cushions due to their firmness and mouldability. The material offers a stable and comfortable seating base, essential for longer meditation sessions. Thanks to the adjustable filling, the cushion retains its shape while remaining flexible enough to adapt to the sitting posture.
The shape-retaining structure of buckwheat hulls makes them an ideal choice for yoga bolsters, where they provide reliable support for various yoga postures and ensure stability during exercises.
Buckwheat hulls make a natural, absorbent, and easily replaceable bedding for chicken coops and nesting boxes. They provide a soft, comfortable surface for chickens while protecting eggs from breaking. The absorbent properties contribute to a hygienic environment and a fresh living space.
Buckwheat hulls excel in absorbing moisture and help reduce unpleasant odours, keeping the coop clean and fresh.
The soft hulls provide a comfortable resting place, and the material’s biodegradability makes it a sustainable choice.
Buckwheat hulls are also an excellent material for use as mulch and soil improver in gardening. The buckwheat hulls break down slowly, adding organic matter to the soil, which contributes to improved structure and increased fertility.
Buckwheat hulls serve as a natural mulch that retains soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and reduces temperature fluctuations by creating an insulating layer.
Adding buckwheat hulls to soil or potting mixes promotes air circulation and improves drainage, especially in compact or heavy soils, resulting in healthier soil.
Buckwheat hulls play a valuable role in organic farming when they serve as a habitat for beneficial insects, such as pollinators and predatory insects. The hollow and airy structure of buckwheat hulls creates the ideal environment for cultivating these insects. These specific insects are essential for promoting biodiversity in the field. They are deployed as natural enemies for the protection of crops against pests. In this way, they help keep the population of harmful insects under control, without the use of chemical pesticides. This is an important aspect of the principles of organic farming.
