my thoughts were that air trapped is a good insulator, example windows in homes, they trap a layer of air between the glasses to better insulate. I don;t know what the "R" value of 4 inches of straw would be.
its actually argon gas thats put in thermal pane windows, so thats not the best example IMO............look at blown insulation in attics........its small, chopped up and it settles to cover every nook and cranny..........
