History of Buckwheat Pillows

Bed Pillows with a long history

If you've traveled to Japan and stayed at a hotel or other lodging, you may have encountered a japanese sobakawa pillow.

These extra firm pillows are one of the most popular choices in Japan, where quality bedding is an essential part of the country's healthy lifestyle.

Millet pillows, long popular in Europe, are filled with natural millet hulls for medium-firm, adjustable head and neck support.

Ancient Sleep Solutions that work

Humans didn’t always sleep on soft beds. Historically, people slept on the floor with wooden blocks or natural materials to support their neck and head.

Buckwheat and millet pillows bring this experience back into modern day bedrooms, offering firmness that molds to the body and becomes more comfortable with use.
