Before Your First Night
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.
Picking 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.
Getting the Fit Just Right
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.
Keeping It 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.

A Buckwheat Cervical Pillow For Targeted Neck Support
Standard pillows support your head but often leave a gap beneath your neck. Our 17" × 6" Cervical Neck Roll, filled with 100% organic buckwheat hulls, is designed to fill that gap and provide targeted cervical support. Its cylindrical shape cradles the natural curve of your spine, encouraging alignment and helping to release tension. Choose between a smooth bamboo-rayon cover or a refined Tencel™ Lyocell cover, depending on your preferred fabric feel. This pillow is also often used as arm support by side sleepers in combination with one of our regular shaped buckwheat pillows.
Is This Neck Roll Right for You?
- If you have neck or shoulder tension: Supports your cervical curve, helping reduce stiffness and posture induced headaches.
- If you’re a side or back sleeper: Use it alone or with your regular pillow to maintain alignment. Remove hulls for back sleeping, keep it fuller for side sleeping.
- If you want versatile posture support: Use it while sleeping, lounging, working at a desk, or even for yoga and meditation practice. Many of our customers also use it as lumbar support or under their knees when sleeping on their back.
More Than a Pillow: Versatile Uses
- For Sleep: Place under your neck to maintain spinal alignment all night.
- For Side Sleepers: Pair with a knee pillow to align hips and lower back.
- For Rest: Place under your knees to relieve pressure on the lumbar spine.
- For Work: Use as a lumbar bolster in your office chair or on the couch.
- For Travel & Camping: Compact size makes it a great companion, though our Travel Pillow is easier to carry.
- For Yoga: Overfilled rolls can double as a firm yoga bolster for stretches and poses.

Questions & Answers
What is a cervical buckwheat pillow used for?
A cervical pillow, or neck roll, is specifically designed to support the natural curve of your neck. It provides targeted alignment for your cervical spine, making it ideal for relieving stiffness and promoting proper posture while you rest. It's often used with your main pillow for enhanced support.
How do I use it?
Most people place it inside their pillowcase at the bottom edge of their regular pillow to create a supportive "roll" for their neck. It can also be used on its own for short periods of rest, as a lumbar support cushion in your chair, or as a compact travel pillow.
Will it feel too firm?
It is intentionally firm to provide therapeutic support and prevent your neck from sinking into an unhealthy position. However, it's fully adjustable. If it feels too firm at first, simply unzip the cover and remove some of the buckwheat hulls until you find the perfect balance of comfort and support.
Is this different from a regular bed pillow?
Yes. This is a smaller, targeted support pillow. While it can be used alone, it's different from the products in our main buckwheat bed pillow collection. For our most luxurious full-size option, many customers choose the top-rated Premium Buckwheat Pillow.
