Firm Buckwheat Hull Pillow Support with a Soft Cover
Our Best-Selling premium Japanese bed pillow pairs an adjustable 100% organic buckwheat hull core with your choice of outer cover: our luxuriously soft Quilted Bamboo or our advanced Cool-Touch Fabric. Both two-layer designs keep their shape, reduce pressure points, and allow for natural spinal alignment and healthy sleep posture—benefits that chiropractors often recommend for neck pain, TMJ, and CPAP users. This pillow also represents the top of the line in our buckwheat pillow collection.
Who is this pillow best for?
- Anyone with neck or jaw pain: The firm, moldable core helps align your spine for tension relief. It’s the kind of support often recommended by chiropractors for neck pain, TMJ, and CPAP users.
- Hot sleepers and sensitive skin: This is where our pillow excels. Choose the Quilted Bamboo for its breathable, moisture-wicking softness, or the Cool-Touch cover for maximum cooling power engineered to pull heat away from your skin.
- Anyone transitioning for the first time: The soft outer covers provide a familiar, cushioned feel, making the transition from a traditional pillow easy and comfortable.
- You want the Best Buckwheat Pillow on the Market: Our dual-layer build reduces hull noise, and the premium covers help minimize pressure points on ears and cheekbones.
The Filling: 100% Organic Buckwheat Hulls
- Our firmest and most popular option for maximum spinal alignment.
- Molds to your shape and locks in place all night.
- Naturally cool and breathable thanks to the hull structure.
- Weight (14x20): Approx. 6.5 lbs
- Weight (20x26): Approx. 12 lbs
- Height: 6–7 inches thick (overstuffed).
Premium Two-Layer Design (Choose Your Cover)
-
Outer Case Option 1: Quilted Bamboo (Soft)
- Provides a soft, cool, and luxurious surface for your head.
- Extra thickness (our bamboo cover is 2–3× thicker than most others) reduces pressure points on ears, cheekbones, and neck.
- Features our signature star constellation design stitched into the fabric.
-
Outer Case Option 2: Cool-Touch (Cooling)
- Feels instantly cool against your skin and actively draws heat away.
- Engineered for hot sleepers who need maximum cooling power.
- Also features our exclusive star constellation pattern stitched into the fabric.
-
Inner Case: Woven Cotton (Holds the Fill)
- This durable inner case securely holds the filling.
- Perfected fabric density keeps hull dust contained, reducing cleaning frequency.
- Strong yet flexible, allowing the hulls to mold perfectly to your contours.
- All cases feature premium Japanese YKK zippers—we don't do flimsy hidden zippers that break easily.
Easy to Adjust & Care For
- Find Your Perfect Height: Both cases have zippers, so you can easily add or remove filling to get the loft just right. We intentionally overfill the pillow so you’ll have extra hulls to use later on.
- Simple Cleaning: Just empty the filling and machine wash both the inner and outer covers. Hulls can be refreshed or replaced as needed. Learn more about buckwheat pillow care.
- Built to Last: Dual-layer construction not only enhances comfort but also extends the pillow’s lifetime by reducing wear and tear.
- Available in Two Sizes: Offered in our most popular Japanese Plus (14" × 20") for targeted support, and a traditional Standard (20" × 26") for a larger sleep surface. All sizes come overstuffed with 4-stage cleaned buckwheat hulls.

Questions & Answers
What is the difference between the Bamboo and Cooling covers?
Both feature our signature Star Constellation design and are removable for washing. Here is how to choose:
- Quilted Bamboo: Best for texture lovers. It is thick (2-3x thicker than standard cases), ultra-soft, breathable, and provides a luxurious, cushioned feel.
- Cool-Touch: Best for hot sleepers. It is engineered to feel instantly cool against the skin and actively draws heat away to keep you comfortable all night.
Will this pillow attract bugs?
No. We use a rigorous 4-stage cleaning process for our buckwheat hulls. This removes dust, debris, and potential food sources for pests, ensuring your pillow is hypoallergenic, clean, and breathable.
Is the pillow adjustable? (How do I change the height?)
Yes! We intentionally overstuff every pillow. Both the inner and outer cases feature durable YKK zippers. When you receive your pillow, we recommend unzipping it and removing some hulls to find your perfect neck alignment. Save the extra hulls in a bag to refresh your pillow later!
Is it noisy or too hard?
Buckwheat pillows are naturally firmer than foam, which is why they are excellent for spinal alignment and neck pain. While hulls do make a rustic "crunching" sound, our Premium models use extra-thick, padded covers (especially the Quilted Bamboo) which significantly muffles the sound compared to cheaper brands.
Why don't you accept returns?
We operate on a Hygiene-First Guarantee. Because pillows are intimate bedding items, accepting returns would mean re-selling used items or creating massive waste. By not accepting returns, we guarantee that the pillow you receive is 100% brand new, sanitary, and has never been slept on by a stranger.
How do I clean the pillow?
Do not wash the buckwheat hulls.
1. Unzip the covers and pour the hulls into a dry container/bag.
2. Machine wash the inner and outer covers on a gentle cycle.
3. To refresh the hulls, simply place them in sunlight for a few hours. Read our full cleaning guide →
Which size should I get?
We recommend the Japanese Plus Size (14" × 20") for most sleepers. It is the traditional size for buckwheat pillows because it keeps the heavy filling concentrated directly under your neck for the best support. The Standard Size (20" × 26") is available if you prefer the look of a traditional American bed pillow.
The PineTales Difference
| Other Buckwheat Pillows | PineTales Buckwheat Pillow | |
|---|---|---|
| What's Inside |
Often contain leftover bits of flour and dust. This isn't just messy—it can attract bugs over time.
|
Cleaned in four separate stages to ensure the hulls are pure, breathable, and free of anything that could attract pests.
|
| "Loft" Adjustments |
Many use flimsy hidden zippers that snag and break easily, making it impossible to adjust the pillow's height (loft).
|
Uses a durable, visible YKK zipper that's built to last. It's easy to add or remove hulls to perfect your pillow's loft.
|
| Amount of Filling |
Often arrive under-filled, forcing you to buy more hulls separately to get the support you need.
|
Intentionally overstuffed so you have more than enough filling. You can remove hulls to make it perfect, not buy more.
|
| How The Cover Feels |
Covers are often made from thin, cheap fabric that feels rough and doesn't hold up well to use or washing.
|
A thick, high-quality cover that is soft to the touch and durable enough to last for years, even with regular washing.
|
| Long-Lasting Support |
Hulls get crushed and go flat within a year or two. Some use “pre-polished” hulls which are even weaker and break down faster.
|
Uses whole, unprocessed hulls that don't crush easily. This provides consistent, firm support that lasts for many years.
|
| Expert-Approved Design |
Generic designs that don't consider proper therapeutic support, often making neck and back alignment worse.
|
Customers often report that their chiropractors and physical therapists recommended our pillows for proper spine alignment.
|
| Who Makes It |
Random sellers with no quality control. If something is wrong, there's no real company to stand behind the product.
|
Made by PineTales, buckwheat-pillow specialists since 2017. Thousands of sleepers trust our focus on quality and craftsmanship.
