Default Buckwheat hull "filler" and pillows

I just ordered a buckwheat hull pillow (they are HEAVY).
My husband and youngest daughter both LOVE their pillows.
I was real hesitant about getting one because they weigh
so darn much (about 15 pounds). But I tried my hubs pillow
last summer while he was in St. Louise for job training and
I liked how it helped give my neck the support it needs (I
have had 2 neck surgeries and need extra support).

Saw where I could buy the buckwheat hulls by the pound
so I bought 5 pounds and I want to "TRY" them in some
pin cushions to see how well they help weigh them down
so that they don't "slide" away.

This will be interesting to see. So I hope this works out the
way I have in mind, if it does I may be making LOTS of weighted
pincushions, if not than I guess my new pillow is going to weigh
20 pounds LOL.
