Product Description
Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate that you are taking the time to look here. In Japan when we want pillows we go to a pillow maker. Unfortunately for me, while living in this country I found it virtually impossible to find an authentic Japanese buckwheat pillow, so I decided to create and manufacture my own based on my own lifetime experience. I have been using buckwheat pillows just like the one I'm selling here, since I was a small child in Japan, and I can't sleep without it! I believe that once you try this pillow you will never sleep on a "regular" pillow again! No more tossing and turning all night long! You will feel the difference that buckwheat hulls make. These are the best Buckwheat Pillows. High QUALITY, designed, and fabricated by genuine Japanese. I've hand picked the very best American grown buckwheat hulls, they are locally grown and harvested, and they have been cleaned using a triple cleaning process to remove dust, buckwheat flour, and debris from amongst the hulls. 100% organic, grown totally without pesticides or herbicides. Nothing, absolutely-no additives. I use the highest quality 100% unbleached cotton fabric for the pillow case, comfortable texture, very durable yet very smooth to sleep on. Also, this pillow includes a zipper to allow you the option of removing hulls and adjusting the pillow to fit your exact needs.

To avoid surgery, which has horrible consequences, I've used therapy balls to unkink the horrible knots in my shoulder, neck and upper back/shoulder blade region (right side mostly), and to gently press the discs back in place. For years, at night, I have slept with a king size pillow on each side of me to get my body in an optimal position [ I'M A SIDE SLEEPER ] . But also, I brought to bed with me each night, five different pillows : latex, memory foam, sobakawa, down and a medium firm fill. I sleep on my side, mostly the right side. Each night was filled with swapping out pillows all night long, as no pillow was perfect to keep my neck vertebrae in place.
THEN, I ordered this PILLOW, exactly one year ago. I had to remove at least half the buckwheat. So yes there was a little smell for a couple of nights.. not a big deal. But the *hardness* of the pillow made me regret having paid so much for it. So I ordered another pillow that had shredded foam, that you could remove and adjust the fill as needed and mush it around to give support. The hardness of the buckwheat pillow hurt the blood vessels in my temples and it was compressing my jugular veins. I tried the soft pillow and it was *dreamy*, but after a couple of nights, I had to bring "Mr. Buckwheat" back, because my neck was screaming for support! So I would sleep on the buckwheat and do a lot of adjusting to take the pressure off sensitive areas. During the night, when I couldn't take the hardness anymore, I'd switch to "Mr. Softee". So I kept on trying with the buckwheat and LISTEN TO THIS!... As the weeks and months went by, my head and neck veins either became used to the hardness or the buckwheat became not so hard.. or both. I used the buckwheat (pillow) more and more, until I no longer used the Softee at all... NOR ANY OTHER Pillow, EVER! Also, you become very adept at the adjusting of the pillow, you just know how thick it needs to be and how to lie on it right away, instantly. I usually like my pillow to be fairly thin, so the part I'm not lying on is thicker. However, sometimes I really need extra support on that C7 vertebra, so I flip it over and voila!.. .. instant support and relief and back to sleep I go. I now sleep soundly and solidly through the night, seldom changing position ... for the first time in decades (I'm 66)! Oh.. also the pillow is very cool and seldom heats my neck, if it does, I just flip it over. And something else, no one else might mention is, the PILLOW NEVER SMELLS!! IT NEVER gets stinky! How does that happen?! Now, I would never go off ANYwhere to stay without it. I look SO forward to going to bed every night now, knowing when I lie down on my pillow, I will have instant comfort and relief if I've had a bad neck day. I have the smallest pillow ( I'm 5' 1") and it's plenty big for me, more than enough. This little bag of seed hulls has made a HUGE, HUGE difference in my life. It is the PERFECT PILLOW! So DON'T GIVE UP on it. Keep working with it. Pretty soon you'll be a pro at maneuvering it and you will benefit greatly with how your neck stays in place and the extra sleep you get because you are not waking up at all hours of the night. ONE PILLOW!.... That's all I use now, except I still have my two king size pillows I use as body pillows, for my lower body. I almost never take the time to write a review, especially one this detailed, but this pillow has helped me soooo much, that I want others to have the same relief I've experienced. It's such a little thing and makes such a big difference. Just don't get discouraged at the initial hardness. It took about 2 months to become accustomed to it, and about 6 or 7months before it was the ONLY pillow I wanted. It is more than worth it to stick with it. You WILL get used to it, I know because I'm extra sensitive, and although it never loses its support, I do believe the hulls get a little more supple. I saved the other half of the hulls in a gallon ziploc bag, just in case these hulls ever wear down. After a year, it doesn't seem like that is going to happen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PILLOW! Have a wonderful Christmas and SWEET DREAMS! 💕
ps. Poor Mr. Softee pillow now just takes up space in my closet. ;D
I do take it out to the clothesline every few months to air it out, and I use a pillow case over it of course. I've got about half a gallon zip lock bag of removed hulls I took out when I first received the pillow to adjust to my preferred stiffness level. I'm considering adding some back in because they do break down over time.
The Japanese size is perfect. My mom bought a "regular" American sized one and it's too loose, not full enough to provide support and not soft enough to feel luxurious. Also it's heavy, mom's pillow is very heavy. Meanwhile this one is the perfect size and isn't too heavy to adjust. I know I adjust it in my sleep when I turn over because of how it feels, but it doesn't wake me up.
