It may take a few nights for your new Hullwinkle pillow to get to know you. You’ll then wonder how you ever slept without one!
Usage
Insert pillow into a Standard size pillowcase. Gently massage the pillow to evenly distribute buckwheat hulls then place your head on the pillow. Use your head to adjust hulls for better head and neck support. You can adjust, add, or remove hulls for more comfort (we recommend using a small measuring cup). Before unzipping the pillow, make sure the zippered edge faces up so all those hulls don’t go on the loose!
Cleaning
Do not put hulls in the wash. Empty hulls into a clean and large bucket, pot, or pan. Let the hulls air out in dry and direct sunlight (inside or outdoors, depending on the season and where you live). Wash the pillow cover in cold water; air or tumble dry on low. Replace hulls into the clean and dry pillow cover and zip closed.
Disposal
While buckwheat hulls are very strong, they will wear like any other natural fiber with regular use and over time. When Hullwinkle stops working for you and it’s time to replace it, remove all the hulls from your pillow and let them move onto their next life – to enrich the earth where they came from. Mix hulls into your garden, soil, compost bin, or mulch. As the hulls break down, they will add nutrients to your soil. Reuse or recycle the organic cotton cover. Our covers are durable, so if yours is still in fantastic shape, you can buy our buckwheat hull refill and continue to sleep soundly knowing you are making a difference not only in your wellness but also our planet’s.
