minus-squareDrusas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoSome traditional Japanese pillows use(d) them, which is where I first learned of them. They’re also great because you can remove or add more hulls based on how thick or malleable you want the pillow to be. Highly recommend them.

minus-square[deleted]@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 hours agoWhat normal pillow filling texture would it compare to?

There’s not really a 1:1 comparison. It might sound weird but it is super comfortable. It needs to be pretty full though, if it’s under-stuffed then it just lacks the support.
