Buckwheat husk pillow

High feather pillows today surrender their leading positions and give way to primacy with other natural fillers, which, in the opinion of orthopedists, contribute much better to healthy sleep. The cushion of their buckwheat husks is just that. It gives a good sleep, not only because of its natural filling, but also because of its low, comfortable neck height.

Pillows filled with buckwheat husk are produced industrially. At the same time, the process itself is rather laborious, as it is known that the grains of this plant are rather small, and the husk itself is not strong. In general, the whole production process can be divided into the following stages:

1. Exfoliate. At this moment, the husk itself is separated from the solid core of the grain. This is done with the help of special production combines.
2. Steam treatment. It helps to moisturize the husk and increase its elasticity and strength.
3. Sifting the husks through large but small sieves. This is done with the aim of selecting quality material from bruised and substandard, because only one-piece, high-quality and durable husk can enter the role of filler.
4. Air purification. This is necessary to remove the smallest particles of dirt, dust and remove foreign matter. This procedure is performed by applying a fairly strong air flow to the material itself.
5. Final cleaning procedure. At this stage, any particles of foreign origin are to be removed, and the buckwheat husk itself is once again thoroughly cleaned.

It is possible to use a pillow filled with buckwheat husk to absolutely all people, without exception, including children of different ages.But there are a number of cases where its use is not only allowed, but also the most preferred. So, a pillow with such a filler is necessary for those people who have:

But like any other natural filler, buckwheat hulls have their pros and cons, which are expressed in its positive or negative impact on the human body. The following qualities can be attributed to the useful properties of such pillows:

They, by the way, have a very beneficial effect on the general state of human health, but at the same time they can hardly be called pleasant. In some people, this smell, on the contrary, provokes headaches or nausea. Therefore, you should carefully monitor your health when using them.
