About buckwheat

The dried outer shells of buckwheat seeds, a gluten-free grain native to East Asia. Renowned for their firm texture, excellent air circulation, and natural temperature regulation.

Uses: Primarily used in pillows and mattresses due to their supportive nature, promoting proper head and neck alignment and providing pressure relief.

Tiers come from the Unwrap materials glossary, a guide to what's natural, nature-inspired, or best avoided.
