TIL about buckwheat husk filling in pillows.
Some traditional Japanese pillows use(d) them, which is where I first learned of them. They're also great because you can remove or add more hulls based on how thick or malleable you want the pillow to be. Highly recommend them.
It's common in traditional meditation cushions. It gives you a firm seat while still conforming nicely. There's nothing else like it, honestly.
I really like it, stays cooler longer, is firm but also conforms to the shape of your head and neck a bit
What normal pillow filling texture would it compare to?
Imagine the conformity of memory foam with the firmness of dry rice, and you're in the ballpark. There's not really a 1:1 comparison.
It might sound weird but it is super comfortable. It needs to be pretty full though, if it's under-stuffed then it just lacks the support.
Beanbag chair...ish. it's not really close to anything else. In fact I think some beanbag chairs are filled with buckwheat husks.
