Hi there, can anyone tell me where I can purchase buckwheat husks for an environmentally friendly alternative to stuff cushions and bean bags? I am in Christchurch but will purchase from anywhere that supplies?

I've only ever seen it in small (read "Expensive") quantities at Huckleberry farms up here in Auckland...

Also plan on some sqiuish- down. So what I mean is I stuffed pillows for the bed and they got a lot saggier with time and less plump becaue the husks just seemed to shrink down with time and pressure.

Just some advice from soneone who has done this. Don't try to stuff a bean bag chair because it becomes too heavy and wont stand up. It just slouches over and does not work like a regular bean bag chair-- is not comfyWisper;436575 wrote: Hi there, can anyone tell me where I can purchase buckwheat husks for an environmentally friendly alternative to stuff cushions and bean bags?

Hi, I see that 2012 you replied to a thread about buckwheat husks, I see that is a long time ago, but do you still know of a place in Chch to get buckwheat husks? I'm going to attempt to make a pillow.
Many thanks,
Steph
