New to Buckwheat Pillows?
A buckwheat pillow is filled with natural hulls instead of foam or fiber. The hulls move with you as you settle in, creating a firm, adjustable feel with steady airflow through the pillow.
Most first-time users need a few nights to dial in the right fill level and shape. Read how long it takes to get used to a buckwheat pillow.
Choosing the Right Size
Choose Japanese Plus (14" x 20") if you like a more compact pillow with a focused, traditional buckwheat feel.
Choose Standard (20" x 26") if you prefer more surface area or want something closer to the size of a regular bed pillow.
Both sizes are adjustable. The better choice simply depends on whether you prefer a smaller, more precise pillow or a larger sleeping surface.
Adjusting the Fill for Better Support
Start with the pillow as it arrives, then remove a small amount of hulls if it feels too high or too firm. Give yourself a few nights to fine tune the fill until your head and neck feel properly supported.
When lying down, gently shape the hulls into the curve of your neck instead of using the pillow completely flat.
If the pillow feels too high, too firm, or too noisy, it usually needs a small setup change before you judge it. Read the guide to common buckwheat pillow mistakes.
Keeping Your Pillow Fresh
Remove any washable cover components according to your pillow model before cleaning. The buckwheat hull filling should always stay dry.
Regular airing and proper cover care will help keep your pillow feeling clean, fresh, and ready for nightly use.

Questions & Answers
Is this small enough for a carry-on?
Absolutely. The pillow measures 10" x 14" and weighs under 2 lbs. It is designed to fit easily into backpacks, totes, or carry-on suitcases without taking up valuable space. It also comes with a protective carrying bag to keep it clean while traveling.
Is this better than a U-shaped travel pillow?
We believe so! U-shaped pillows often push your head forward or deflate mid-flight. Our buckwheat pillow stays firm and molds to fill the gap between your neck and the seat, providing consistent cervical support. It also doubles as great lumbar support for those uncomfortable airplane seats.
Can I wash the travel pillow?
Travel can get messy, but cleaning is easy. Simply unzip the outer Bamboo cover and machine wash it.
Note: Do not wash the buckwheat hulls. If the pillow needs refreshing after a long trip, just air out the inner bag in sunlight.
Is the height adjustable?
Yes. Just like our full-sized pillows, the Travel Model features a durable YKK zipper. You can remove hulls to make it flatter (great for use as a lumbar cushion) or keep it full for maximum neck support.
Does it come with a pillowcase?
Yes, it comes pre-fitted with our signature Matrix Design Bamboo Rayon pillowcase. It is breathable, moisture-wicking, and incredibly soft—perfect for keeping you cool on stuffy flights or long car rides.
Why can't I return it?
We have a strict Hygiene-First Guarantee. Travel items and pillows are intimate personal products. By not accepting returns, we can guarantee that the pillow you receive is 100% brand new, sanitary, and has never been used by another traveler.
