Buckwheat Pillows

The buckwheat pillow, often referred to as "Sobakawa" or "Japanese pillow," has been a cornerstone of traditional Japanese sleep culture for centuries. Known for its firm support and adjustability, it provides a natural, personalized sleep experience appreciated by people around the world.

Each pillow is filled with tens of thousands of buckwheat hulls, the protective outer shells of buckwheat seeds, carefully cleaned, sorted, and air dried. Their angular, interlocking shape allows the fill to shift and respond to pressure, gently conforming to the shape of your head and neck while maintaining steady, reliable support. The natural three-dimensional structure of the hulls also encourages continuous airflow, helping to keep you cool and dry throughout the night.
