The buckwheat hulls are obtained from the cleaning of buckwheat grains - the hulls are a by-product of food processing. The buckwheat hulls are an environmentally friendly material - it is a natural & renewable resource, as well as fully recyclable - when the pillow filling has already served its purpose, it can be poured out into a flower-bed or a compost heap. Cotton or linen fabrics - we use natural materials for sewing the pillow-cases; 3.Preparation of the pillow for use Adjust the filling quantity - the pillow is filled with a reserve. Pour out the excess filling by opening the zipper on the sides of the pillow. The optimal quantity of pillow filling - the filling should be left so much that, when supporting the head & neck on the pillow, the excess content would fall aside. By raising the head, it will be clearly visible that pillow has conformed to your body shape. It is important that the pillow, which is prepared for sleeping, in the adjusted position looks half empty, in this case the use of the pillow for your relaxation will provide a maximum effect. This recommendation does not preclude the opportunity to try & find the most appropriate filling quantity. You can save the excess filling reserve to increase the content of the pillow after ~ one year, when the pillow filling will become flat; The pillow thickness - it depends on your favorite sleeping position. If you sleep on the sides, a thicker pillow will be more comfortable. The wider your shoulders, the higher should be your pillow. The majority of people prefer pillows 10-14 cm in height, but owners with wider shoulders will need a pillow 14-17 cm in height. If you sleep on your back or stomach, you will need a thinner pillow.
