If you are allergic to house dust or feathers, the sofa cushion optionally filled with organic spelt husks, millet hulls, seaweed or wool beads in a cover of organic cotton is an alternative. Even people without allergies know to appreciate the excellent support properties of the sofa cushion.
You have the option of adapting the filling quantity to your needs and your anatomical requirements. You get exactly the cushon you want in terms of its soft and smooth and supportive properties.
Even having a nap in the afternoon head and neck are always well supported. This provides an extra good feeling when lying down, sleeping and dreaming. With natural rubber impregnation, the cereal husks are much more stable and durable.
Also suitable for allergy sufferers, for example, if they are allergic to feathers. Or people who prefer the vegan lifestyle (except wool beads filling).
* Sanforizing is a special treatment of the fabric with steam and pressure. Because of this the fabrics are very soft and shrink. For later laundry they therefore only shrink up only minimal (about 1 - 2 %).
SPELT HUSKS & MILLET HULLS & SEAWEED – NATURAL WITH RUBBERThey are soaked in a bath of natural rubber latex. The sap of the rubber tree penetrates the husks and shells, such as oil in solid wood furniture. This creates no sealing of surfaces. They remain porous and breathable. The moist grain shells are then dried and heated to about 80° C. Although the rubber content of the finished dry fillings barely makes up 4 %, it increases their durability and resilience tremendously. They are dust-free and very durable in use against fine abrasive. The fillings hold their shape better with rubber, which their supportive and relaxing effect benefits from. The natural rubber latex used was obtained on ecologically managed plantations in South India and bought according to the criteria of Fair Trade.
Spelt husks are highly appreciated because of their flexible adaptability, their good supporting properties and their balanced, breathable climate characteristics. Approximately 45,000 husks that are loosely spread in this cushion store the body heat and allow a lot of air change at the same time. They form in accordance with your body contours and provide an even spreading of the lying pressure. speltex® organic spelt husksof premium sorting are of excellent quality. They contain fully mature husks without residual grains. Smaller, heavier husks and husks with grainy content, as well as dust and fines are separated. As a result, the fillings have excellent hygienic features, are comparatively lightweight and can be washed if necessary. Depending on the strain, the filling should be renewed after two to three years. More stability, a longer life, high resistance to fine abrasion and more support for the body offer fillings by speltex® organic spelt husks with rubber.
Millet Hulls Get enthusiastic about the supple nature of this cushion. Around two million fine shells form quite exactly how your body contours define it. Like soft sand they spread the pressure of lying very evenly. The rubber gives the filling more cohesion, so that the round-shaped millet husks develop good support characteristics. Who is bothered by the rustling of spelt husks, finds the right alternative in utterly noiseless millet husks. You have the possibility to tune the filling capacity to your needs and your anatomical conditions. So you get exactly the pillow as you wish with regard to its supple and its supporting properties. With rubber the fine, sensitive millet husks are much more stable and durable.
