Many customers often ask: What sets buckwheat hulls apart from millet hulls?
The differences between these hulls can be summarized as follows:
-
Millet hulls are noticeably smaller than buckwheat hulls.
- Their structure is rounder, in contrast to the distinct triangular shape of buckwheat hulls.
- Pillows filled with millet hulls tend to be quieter, thanks to their smaller, smoother design.
- Millet hulls are significantly lighter than buckwheat hulls, making millet pillows an excellent option if you find buckwheat pillows too heavy.
- These pillows offer a smoother feel and tend to contour more gently around your head.
- However, due to their smaller size, millet hull pillows may require more frequent readjustment throughout the night to maintain their shape—this is more noticeable in larger sizes (such as 20x26 inches) compared to smaller ones (14x20 inches).
- Both our millet and buckwheat hulls are grown without chemicals, ensuring a natural, healthy sleep environment.
In summary, thanks to these distinct characteristics, millet pillows offer a level of comfort that rivals—and in some cases even surpasses—that of buckwheat pillows.
