Buckwheat hulls, also known as buckwheat husks, are the firm outer shells of the buckwheat grain. A proven natural filling since the 15th century, and still the most widely chosen plant-based fill for bed pillows, meditation cushions, and yoga bolsters, valued for their exceptional support, breathability, and lasting resilience.

This product is entirely free from pesticides and residues, and contains no foreign buckwheat components. Every batch is independently tested to guarantee this quality.

For Larger Projects and Multiple Cushions

The 6 kg pack is our mid-size option, the right choice when you are filling a larger cushion, working on several at once, or simply want to keep stock to hand.

How Much Do You Need?

The exact amount is always personal. Buckwheat hulls are naturally adjustable: add or remove fill until the height and firmness feel exactly right.

A Natural, Breathable Fill

The firm, hollow shells of buckwheat hulls allow for optimal air circulation while providing a shape-retaining surface that conforms to the contours of your body. The result is a pillow that breathes, supports, and holds its form, even after years of use.

Applications

Bed Pillows

Buckwheat hulls are widely used as fill in orthopaedic bed pillows. Their natural adaptability provides targeted spinal support and helps relieve neck and back pain. Two larger pillows of approx. 60 x 40 cm together require 5 to 6 kg, making this pack the practical choice for renewing two buckwheat pillows at once. Want to know how to go about it?

Air and Moisture Regulation

The hollow structure of buckwheat hulls promotes natural airflow and helps regulate moisture. This contributes to a drier, cleaner sleep environment and reduces the risk of mould and dust mites.

Meditation Cushions

Buckwheat hulls have been used for centuries in meditation cushions, prized for their firmness and mouldability. The fill provides a stable, comfortable base, essential for extended meditation sessions.

Yoga Bolsters

A standard yoga bolster (approx. 60 x 23 cm) requires 4 to 5 kg of buckwheat hulls for a firm, shape-retaining fill. The 6 kg pack covers this in a single purchase, with a small reserve for topping up over time.
