Buckwheat Pillows

Their Volume Determines Pillow Malleability

The one big variable that determines the comfort degree of a buckwheat pillow between one person and another, is in my opinion, the volume of fill (buckwheat hulls) in the buckwheat pillow.

Different people have different physiologies and different tolerances for firmness and malleability of their pillows, and the concealed nylon zipper is the defining element in commercially available buckwheat pillows that provides adjustability for this malleability and firmness.

Of course there are other elements involved in the effectiveness of the buckwheat pillows, such as quality of the buckwheat hulls and the pillow cover, but none that so effectively determines the comfort and sleep inducing effectiveness of the pillow on different people and different physical situations.

The bottom line is that, of all the variables in different available buckwheat pillows, there is no factor involved in choosing a buckwheat pillow more important than the inclusion of a quality concealed nylon zipper to allow adjustment of the volume of buckwheat hulls in the pillows.

While it is certainly possible that a person might purchase a buckwheat pillow without this zipper which could meet their needs, it is only by chance, and without the ability to vary the volume, you really have no way to determine whether you really do have the optimum volume of buckwheat hulls.

So, the highest priority of features to determine the desirability of a particular style of buckwheat pillows would, in my opinion, be the concealed nylon zipper. My advice is, don’t buy a buckwheat pillow that has no concealed nylon zipper.
