Can I use encasement with buckwheat instead of pillow?

I don't know why you couldn't, as long as you ordered the correct size, assuming the buckwheat is already in another covering.

The buckwheat did breakdown after a couple of months and is no longer very supportive. I have not noticed any dust.

Absolutely - cottom casing with zipper. And you can add and decease buckwheat for comfort. Two of my friends are now using this pillow with better neck comfort in morning.Austin, TX

I sometimes sleep with my forearm under the pillow, and I don't experience any discomfort. The buckwheat will disperse around your arm, so you won't have the full weight of it on you.

Yes. It is sectioned off, however if you don't like the stiffness of the pillow, you can clip the stitching to let the buckwheat have more room to soften the effect of the pillow.

Not sure how many lbs came with it but I thought it was adequate. I really like my buckwheat pillow because it keeps the same height off the bed while you sleep. I sleep on my side and with a feather pillow it flattens out through the night and I would wake up with a sore neck. The buckwheat pillow does not. I could get help with a foam pillow, but it makes my head hot. Again buckwheat does not. I woulld hate to have to give mine up

The original case is zippered so you can add or remove buckwheat to customize firmness. I bought the additional pillow case which had envelop closure on one end. The decorative case that comes with the pillow is open ended both ends and fabric is rough. Would definitely recommend buying the extra pillow case. Love the pillow, great for side sleepers. Hope this helps.

I accidentally hit the "yes" button & now it won't let me change my answer. No, you don't need the quilted cover. I bought a hypoallergenic cover to use under the pillowcase.

I guess it would depend on environmental factors; how often it was used, how quickly the buckwheat broke down, etc. but also how firm you like the pillow. I was able to take a freezer bags worth of buckwheat out of mine, and can use that as replacement kernels when the time comes. So who knows? How often does a regular pillow last? 10+ years? I would bet that the buckwheat could last that long or more.

It is a filler of pillows as near, as I can tell, that is comparable to buckwheat but not quite as big and a bit softer. I filled my neck pillow with it and had had no problems. I will be using it again.

It's a matter of personal preference. The box springs encasement protects from dust allergens. The mattress encasement adds an extra layer of protection. We use both due to allergies. Choose according to your needs.

Hi. We were working with a twin bed, so I don't know how the queen-sized encasements run. The twin-sized encasement was true-to-size. If you are saying that your box springs are smaller than the size they are quoting, I don't think that would be the end of the world. Better too big than too small. It might look messy, but maybe you can tuck the extra under or just cover with a comforter or bed spread.

I use that as a pillow cover. I put another pillow cover over that one and then a pillowcase.

Yes, it is wonderful for a side sleeper. Just move around the buckwheat to meet your needs.

The cover can be washed, but you have to remove the buckwheat hull filling first. This is not including the pillow case, which must be bought separately.

Hi! Using a pillowcase is completely up to you. It would not interfere with the Memory Foam or the pillow design. Thank you, TheHomeLiquidator

I just wash it in hot water like I usually do w/ all my beddings. I haven't noticed any shrinkage. But like you said, the pillow case barely fits the pillow to begin with. I hope you realize that if you purchased the buckwheat pillow, they intentionally overstuff it. I removed so much buckwheat that it almost filled a gallon size zip lock bag. But then again, it is all preference as to how much buckwheat you want in your pillow. Hope this helps.
