Natural and Breathable Filling

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.

Applications of Buckwheat Hulls

Pillows ans Support

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.

Head Pillows

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.

Air and Moisture Regulation

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.

Meditation Cushions

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.

Yoga Bolsters

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.

Bedding Material

Use in Chicken Coops and Nesting Boxes

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.

Absorption and Odour Control

Buckwheat hulls excel in absorbing moisture and help reduce unpleasant odours, keeping the coop clean and fresh.

Comfort for Chickens

The soft hulls provide a comfortable resting place, and the material’s biodegradability makes it a sustainable choice.

Agriculture

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.

Mulching

Buckwheat hulls serve as a natural mulch that retains soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and reduces temperature fluctuations by creating an insulating layer.

Soil Structure

Adding buckwheat hulls to soil or potting mixes promotes air circulation and improves drainage, especially in compact or heavy soils, resulting in healthier soil.

Support for Beneficial Insects

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.
