Are the buckwheat hulls organic and unfumigated, not chemically treated?

Good question. I wish I could answer this, but I honestly do not know. I did not detect any chemical smell, and I am quite sensitive to that. If you find out I would be interested in knowing the answer.

There is no sign of any such thing on the one that I got, unlike the imported foam crap which must have formaldehyde or something on them that turns the cases orange over time. The buckwheat pillow I have is still very good. I really don't know how I did without it for so long. It has a natural, albeit faint scent to it, like you might expect buckwheat hulls to smell, but you really have to be trying to smell anything at all. The one I purchased came with a sack of lavender petals to add to it for a fresh scent, but I never had to use it. For that reason alone, I would suspect that this pillow is 100% natural.

My buckwheat pillow is filled with 5 lbs. of 100% organic buckwheat husks. I doubt that a product that qualifies as 100% organic is going to be chemically treated. The question about unfumigated would have to be posed to the manufacturer.

According to a card included with the pillow hulls are grown organically and not treated with chemicals.

Its all natural i am not sure if its certified organic, however we are an all natural farm- no-chemicals and these seeds are fine- not coated in chemicals.

The original pillow I got was only hulls. I guess some people felt it wasn't soft enough (frankly I didn't mind it at all - as I have used a buckwheat pillow before). I just recently received a bag of foam to incorporate with the hulls to make the pillow softer. I didn't notice any "ingredient" information on the package. I haven't done actually mixed my foam yet. This said, I'd bet you could request only hulls.

The Now website states their products are natural and organic, so I'm assuming and hoping the Beet Sugar is non gmo

Yes its raw, unprocessed, organic. It is not from one type of flower. That is monoculture farming and not a practice of most organic farms.

The Birch, Lavender, Buckhorn, musk, and rose oil are organic. The Pomegrate is not organic.

Hi Alyssa. Just looked at the label on my pillow and it said 100% Organic Buckwheat Hulls. I guess that would mean no chemicals but you may still want to check with manufacturer. I love my pillow. It has a zippered case, so I guess you could remove the hulls and wash them or replace them. Interesting. Great Pillow. My daughter uses the smaller version and I am going to order it for hubbie.

Google says It is Natural organic therapy. The definition is Earth. Buckwheat is a natural substance from the earth. Hope this helps.

No, not at all. It is simply composed of the ground husks. The product is just fine, although, next time I will probably order the "organic" version. :-)

These are steel-cut 100% whole grain Irish oats. Nothing on the tin refers to them as being organically grown. Whether or not the oats are grown in fields where synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used, I have no idea. There are no additives, obviously, and I doubt the oats have been irradiated. You can contact McCann's at this address for more information: sturmfoods@bayvalley.epowercenterdirect.com. As an aside, my husband has hated oatmeal his entire life...until I fixed him a bowl of McCann's steel-cut oats. ;)

Darlene,Yes, buckwheat hulls stay very cool because they allow a lot of air circulation. Most bean bag type devices are filled with polystyrene which does not allow good circulation and does not stay very cool. As an added bonus, you are not buying a product that is filled with a petroleum derived substance that is the number one pollutant in our oceans, is toxic to marine life, and takes over 100 years to degrade when disposed of. Buckwheat hulls are a much better alternative.

The manufacturer says that all materials are 100% organic. I have no indication of any chemicals in the hulls or the pillowcase.

I don't think so. It's free of additives, but I don't recall it was certified organic. It make terrific mead!

There is a smell, but I think it's from the actual buckwheat hulls. I didn't care for smell, but it tends to dissipate in time. That aside, I didn't care for the feel or weight of the pillow.

The ingredients. Natural does not mean organic but it has less chemicals. I hope this helps
