Product Overview
The 20" x 26" extra large buckwheat hull pillow is the standard pillow size in North America. Price will vary based on fill amount. The recommended fill amount is 10 to 12 pounds of hulls. See our chart for how thick these weights are. This pillow requires more buckwheat hulls due to its size, also making it heavier. We found that 10.5 pounds is a good amount.
With a pillow of this size, if the pillow isn't filled enough, the hulls have too much room to move around before hitting the limits of the fabric resulting in your head not being as supported compared to a smaller pillow with the same fill weight.
Recommended Fill Amounts:
| % of Maximum |
Weight in pounds |
Thickness in inches |
| 60% | 10 | 3 5/8 |
| 65% | 11 | 4 1/8" |
| 70% | 12 | 4 7/8" |
The thickness is an approximation to give you an idea of how the hulls affect the loft (height) of the pillow.
Consider this pillow for the extra thickness it can provide, not just because it will fit a standard pillow case.
One advantage to a pillow this size is that you can grab the pillow by the zipper end and hold it up so the buckwheat hulls gather at the other end, then fold the loose fabric underneath to make the pillow smaller, and thicker since the buckwheat hulls less room to move. See how to fluff the pillow for some tips.
All of our pillows are made with 100% cotton downproof ticking and filled with the hulls of Canadian-grown buckwheat.
Add an outer pillow case!
Enhance your experience by purchasing an optional outer pillow case. The outer pillow case is open on one end like a standard pillow case so you can wash it more frequently than the inner zippered case. The fabric is high quality 100% cotton with a neutral vine pattern and is a little more breathable than the zippered ticking. They are made 1.5 inches wider than the pillow and feature an attractive 3" cuff on the open end.
