Classic Sobakawa Pillow
Just like in Japan
- This pillow model comes closest to what people use in Japan and Korea.
- There these type of pillows are also called Sobakawa Pillow or simply Japanese Pillow.
- Where Sobakawa stands for "Buckwheat".
- They are extra breathable and extra supportive which is the main reason Chiropractors and Physical Therapists recommend them to their clients.
Extra Durable
- The Pillow Shell is made of super durable, dust-proof, and unbleached Organic Cotton Twill.
- We use twice as strong and thick of a fabric material as the majority of other brands. Experience the PineTales Difference.
- Equipped with Japanese YKK Zipper. Because quality matters and no one deserves to deal with a cheap zipper.
Use your own pillowcase
- This model does not come with any pillowcases. It is designed so you can use your own pillowcase on top of it.
- Optional French Linen Pillowcase or Tencel Pillowcase are available in our accessories section.
- If you like a ready-to-go model, you can choose our premium Buckwheat Hulls filled Sleeping Pillow, or Elite Hybrid Buckwheat and Memory Foam Pillow, which are both made with an inner and outer cover.
100% Buckwheat Hulls Filling
- Filled with Organic Buckwheat Hulls (Gluten-Free).
- The unique structure of buckwheat hulls is known to create enhanced air circulation and provides superior support and adjustability over any other filling material.
It's fully adjustable
- Using a Buckwheat Pillow gives you full control over the type of firmness and loft you like to have. Hulls can easily be added or removed to adjust the pillow to your liking. Simply open the zipper and remove hulls using a cup or with your hand, so to make the pillow as soft or firm as you like. Removing hulls will make it more moldable as well, whereas adding hulls will make it firmer and less smooth.
For all sleeping positions
- Especially helpful for people with posture, neck, or spinal issues.
- For side sleepers to improve this pillow's effectiveness, we highly recommend using a pillow between the legs to support your knees and hips, in conjunction with it so your whole body is properly aligned.
