The obvious pros and cons of a husk pillow

The importance of a good rest for a person is difficult to overestimate. In a dream, strength is restored, the children's body grows, and even lose weight! But all this will happen to the full extent only when a person rests fully. High-quality deep sleep is guaranteed: cool temperature in the room, light dinner, comfortable mattress and pillow. By the way, the health of the cervical spine also depends on the latter.

The comfort of the pillow depends on the correct choice of height and stiffness. The filler is also important - it can become a night assistant, and maybe the cause of allergies. To avoid this, it is important to know the characteristics of different fillers. Today, the filler is popular - buckwheat husk, and we'll talk about it.

Buckwheat husks are filled with pillows to fix the head and neck during sleep. She is able to take your anatomical shape. It is in demand because it does not cause allergies, like other natural fillers and is inexpensive.

Buckwheat grains are peeled and get buckwheat and husk. After that, the husk is sieved to get rid of random grains. Then they blow it under a powerful stream of air. Then the future filler is steamed and cleaned.

The output is pure buckwheat flakes in the form of a pyramid - filler for a pillow made of buckwheat husk. It is placed in a bag made of natural fabric, with a zipper on one side - this is the finished pillow.

REFERENCE! Zipper or another type of fastener on such a pillow model is needed so that if necessary you can pour off excess husk.

Benefits: 5 Top Benefits

Buckwheat husk pillows have been convinced for a long time. It fixes the correct position of the head and neck, and thus does not allow you to squeeze small vessels. This problem is common in people who sleep on a pillow with the wrong height.

If the height of the pillow is small - the head throws back, the anatomical bend of the spine, lordosis, shrinks too much and squeezes small vessels. It is fraught with headaches and pain in the neck. If the pillow is too high, the head is pressed to the chest. Lordosis is leveled, air intake through the nose is difficult. As a result of insufficient oxygen supply, a person develops dizziness, headache and constant fatigue.

Buckwheat husk pillow takes the anatomical shape of the neck and head. In the area of ​​lordosis, it turns out higher, and for the head forms a comfortable bed. With it, you sleep in the correct position, blood vessels are not squeezed and enough oxygen is supplied.

IMPORTANT! Buy a pillow only with a fitting. In the store, lie on it to understand - your height and stiffness is yours or not. If you bought a high pillow, just remove the excess husk.

We will not talk about the dangers of dust and dust mites, because they are not in the buckwheat husk. And here are the benefits of a whole list:

  • hypoallergenic - after total cleaning, all possible allergens are excluded. Due to the lack of dust and dust mites, it is safe for allergy sufferers and asthmatics;
  • helps in the treatment of scoliosis, osteochondrosis in the first stages;

IMPORTANT! Before use during a spinal illness, consult your doctor. Orthopedic pillows are allowed to be used only by healthy people, and a husk product is located between orthopedic and ordinary pillows.

  • Breathable - due to large particles, air circulates in the filler. This means that it is comfortable to sleep on it in winter and summer - it does not overheat, and does not provoke high sweating;
  • Allowed for children from 2 years. For them, special models of smaller size and height are sold.

Disadvantages

But even in this product, there were flaws that, by the way, do not alarm everyone and not always. Despite this, you should know before buying what to be prepared for. After analyzing user reviews, there are three main drawbacks of the model:

  • rustle. At first, it can cause inconvenience before falling asleep. During sleep, a person does not hear him, and after 6-10 days, he generally gets used to these sounds. On some people, this soft rustle has a calming effect and vice versa helps to fall asleep;
  • hardness. At first, the pillow may seem too harsh and this may disappoint lovers of downy feather-beds. She hardly takes the shape of your head and neck. After 1-2 weeks, the pillow will immediately begin to take the shape of a person, because during this time the buckwheat pyramids will become softer and more supple. But the pillow will not become soft. Its rigidity will decrease compared to the just purchased, but still remain high.

IMPORTANT! If after several nights you notice pain in the neck - stop sleeping on such a product. It may be too stiff for your body.

  • smell - someone simply does not like the specific smell of the husk, and on the Internet you can come across the theory that the smell of buckwheat will arouse appetite. In fact, the husk smells of raw, not fried buckwheat, and few people sniffed it. The smell of the husk is unlike boiled cereals, so there can be no talk of any awakening of appetite. But if you absolutely did not like this slightly herbal aroma, it is better to refuse the purchase.

TIP! If you want to buy a pillow filled with buckwheat husk, but do not like its aroma. In a small cloth bag, place any dried grass that you like to smell. It will delight and relax you before bedtime, and aromatherapy will be added to other advantages of this model.

One more minus - quickly becomes worthless. One pillow, with regular use, will last you 2-3 years.

Versatility

Except for a few cases described above, the product is suitable for everyone - adults, children, the elderly. It is available to every wallet - from 500 rubles. Such a low price is due to the availability of material, because there are a lot of buckwheat in our country.

A pillow is sewn in 3 options:

  • for sleep. For adults, size 40x60 and 50x70;
  • for a car seat or chair, square or round - supports the spine and does not allow overheating in the groin area;
  • for children - it is smaller and taller. Often has a finished recess in the center, for the head. You can use it from 2 years. Until 2 years, the child does not need a pillow at all - this is due to the anatomical features of the structure of the child’s body.

REFERENCE! The pillow for the car is stitched over the entire area with additional seams. With the resulting rollers, the husk does not roll and holds its shape during prolonged sitting.

To summarize, a pillow filled with buckwheat husk is useful. It suits most people, is accessible to many on finances. It also helps in the treatment of back diseases and frequent headaches due to a lack of oxygen.
