Buckwheat Pillows

Good for Your Neck & Back

Sobakawa buckwheat pillows have earned praise from people dealing with chronic neck or back soreness. Their supportive design helps improve sleep posture—often a key factor behind upper-body discomfort.

These pillows are also considered the only real natural orthopedic pillows , thanks to their firm, shape-holding filling. Switching to a buckwheat hulls pillow can be a simple change that makes a big difference in your nightly rest.

For Back & Side Sleepers

These firm pillows are an excellent choice for side or back sleepers who want steady neck and head cushioning. Buckwheat hulls mold naturally to your contours, promoting better spine alignment and reducing tension.

Side sleepers can boost hip and leg comfort by using a knee pillow, while back sleepers often place a roll-shaped pillow under their knees for extra relaxation.

Firm & Comfortable

Buckwheat pillows range from medium to extra firm, depending on the specific design and materials. Models filled solely with hulls tend to be the firmest, while hybrid variants balance firmness with a hint of cushioning.

For those wanting an alternate feel, millet pillows are also popular in Europe, offering a pleasantly firm yet somewhat softer cradle.
