Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What makes a buckwheat pillow worth trying?

Our pillows gently cradle your head and neck, keeping your spine aligned all night. That means fewer aches and a more refreshing wake-up.

If you’re looking for something softer, check out our Premium Millet Pillow.

Never used a buckwheat pillow before?

Most customers are first-timers. Just give it a night or two. The hulls adapt to your shape, and the cooling airflow is a welcome bonus.

Who are these pillows best for?

Anyone who wakes up stiff, sleeps hot, or wants a non-toxic, adjustable pillow—especially side and back sleepers.

Benefits & Sleep Experience

Can these pillows really help with neck pain?

Yes. They support proper alignment and reduce pressure on your neck and shoulders. Many users report less stiffness and better posture after switching.

Are they a good fit for side sleepers?

Definitely. Side sleepers can adjust the fill to keep their spine aligned and reduce shoulder or neck tension.

Do they sleep cooler than other pillows?

Yes. The hulls allow air to move freely, so heat doesn’t build up like it does in foam or down pillows.

Airflow and heat dispersal comparison: buckwheat vs foam vs down pillows

Are they actually comfortable to sleep on?

They feel different from foam—more supportive and breathable. Once adjusted, most people find them extremely comfortable.

Do they make any noise when you move?

They create a soft rustling sound when you move. Most people adjust quickly and some even find it soothing.

Function & Adjustability

Can I adjust how firm or soft it feels?

Yes. Just unzip the cover and adjust the fill until it feels right for you.

How long will one of these last?

With proper care, they often last 5–10 years. If it starts to feel flat, top it off with fresh hulls.

Care & Materials

What’s the best way to clean the pillow?

Not the whole pillow. Just empty the hulls, wash the cover in cold water, and let it air dry. Keep hulls dry or refresh them in the sun if needed.

Do these pillows attract bugs or pests?

No. The hulls aren’t food and stay dry—so bugs aren’t interested. They also resist dust mites.

Are they safe for allergy sufferers?

Yes, for most people. They’re made from natural, chemical-free materials. If you have a buckwheat allergy (rare), consult your doctor.

Details & Definitions

What exactly is a Sobakawa pillow?

It’s the traditional Japanese version of a buckwheat pillow. Be aware: some “Sobakawa” pillows are filled with microbeads, not hulls. True ones use real buckwheat husks.

How are these Japanese-style pillows made?

We clean and heat-treat natural hulls, then fill breathable cotton covers. Every pillow is sewn, zippered, and hand-assembled for quality.

How a Buckwheat Pillow is Made

What materials are used inside the pillow?

Only natural buckwheat shells, cleaned through a 4-stage process. The outer cover is breathable and chemical-free.
