Introducing Suninbox’s universal seat cover which is made from organic material from shell to filling. The shell is made from linen and the filling is composed of buckwheat hulls.
Linen is a commonly used material in clothes and upholstery and is popular for being cool and breathable.
What’s more, they do not retain odor easily even though they are good at absorbing sweat. This means they will smell naturally fresh longer than many other fabrics.
Buckwheat hulls are naturally occurring shells that contain the grain-like seed called buckwheat.
Buckwheat is a popular organic food that you can find mainly in the organic aisle of your grocery store. Buckwheat hulls are basically the shell that contains buckwheat.
Buckwheat hulls are not as good at insulating heat as synthetic fillings and will therefore be more likely to provide a cooling experience when used.
Also due to their irregular shape and physical durability, buckwheat hulls are excellent at moving air around them when someone sits on cushions filled this. This provides a subtle and natural air conditioning effect.
The characteristics described above tick many boxes for those that want a seat cover that will be cooling to use, comfortable, and as organic as they come.
One gripe we have is that the manufacturer doesn’t provide an option to buy twin packs, but they can still be purchased individually anyway.
Also, on the first few uses, the buckwheat hull filling can feel a little stiff and hard. This only lasts until you get a few sessions with it. After that, they should adjust with your contours and become more comfortable over time.
From a style perspective, they are available in several colors a have a detailed corrugated stitched effect, which we think looks the part.
Pros
- Made from linen with buckwheat hull filling
- Very cooling and breathable
- Available in several colors
