Equipped with YKK Zipper. Because Quality matters and no one deserves to deal with a cheap zipper.
The Pillow is filled with 100% US Grown Organic Buckwheat Hulls (Gluten Free). The unique structure of buckwheat hulls is known to create enhanced air circulation and to provide superior support and adjustability over any other filling material. Air also circulates better than with anything else you find in pillows these days.
It's fully adjustable. Hulls can easily be added or removed to adjust the pillow to your liking. Simply open the zipper and remove hulls using a cup or with your hand, so to make the pillow as soft or firm as you like. Removing hulls will make it more moldable as well, whereas adding hulls will make it firmer and less smooth.
The Pillow is good for all sleeping positions and specially works it's miracles for people with posture, neck or spinal issues.

We only use the Highest Quality Buckwheat Hulls. All our hulls are triple screened and heat treated. Guaranteed Odor and Pesticide free.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

How is this pillow different from the Hullo Pillow?

It is technically the same as the Hullo Pillow just more affordable and comfortable :) If you compare it to the Hullo or Sobakawa Pillow, the cover is different. We use a Cotton Twill Pillowcase which makes this pillow more durable than Sobakawa Buckwheat Pillows.
Is this pillow the same as the Sobakawa Buckwheat Pillow?

Yes it is technically the same. We just put more buckwheat hulls into it and use a stronger more durable cotton twill fabric :) And our Buckwheat Pillows are all made in Phoenix, AZ whereas most Sobakawa pillows are either made in China or India.
Can you customize pillows?

Our customization options for our Buckwheat and Millet Pillows are limited. We can switch out filling materials and pillowcases upon your request, for the most part.
How many lbs of filling are in these Basic Buckwheat pillows?

PineTales Buckwheat Pillows are filled by volume:

Our 14" x 20" Japanese Size Buckwheat Hull Pillow is filled with 3,6lbs - 4lbs of organic hulls.
Our 11" x 17" Compact Size Buckwheat Hull Pillow is filled with 2,6lbs - 3lbs of organic hulls.
Our 20" x 26" Standard Size Buckwheat Hull Pillow is filled with 8,5lbs - 9lbs of organic hulls.
Is the Basic Buckwheat Pillow made of the same Material as the Premium Buckwheat Pillow with the only difference that the Premium Buckwheat Pillow comes with a Bamboo Pillowcase?

No it is not. The Material used for the Basic Buckwheat Pillow is Cotton Twill whereas the Material used for the Premium Bamboo Buckwheat Pillow is Woven Cotton (for the innner Pillowcase) and High Density Bamboo Fabric for the Designer Pillowcase.
I will be a first time buyer and trying to decide on Japanese size or standard size, I am a female and usually sleep on a standard size memory foam pillow? What do you think?

Hi there,

you should be fine with the japanese size. The standard size pillow are rather heavy and your head does not really need more surface to lay on then what the japanese size provides.
Also it's easier to mold and shape the japanese size because the hulls have less room to move around due to the smaller surface area the inner case provides vs. when you have standard size.

The standard size is popular among people who tend to put their arm under the pillow (obviously that would not work with a japanese size) and it's also favorited by folks who prefer to keep the estetics of their bedroom unchanged.

Hope this helps with your decision

What are the chances of bugs in the pillow. I have read reviews claiming they have bugs.

Changes of bugs in Buckwheat Pillows are similar than bugs in Memory Foam Pillows or Latex Pillows. Our Hulls are heat treated and triple screend to minimize the chances. Bugs are attracted to material that provides "food" to them. If the Buckwheat and/or Millet Hulls are properly cleaned, there is nothing left for bugs to feed on, which in turn keeps them out of most buckwheat pillows.
I have an old buckwheat pillow that does not have a zippered case so I can remove the hulls. I am ordering one of your pillows through Amazon so I will have two. I was wondering if I could get an extra organic cotton zippered case for my current pillow? My current one is the Japanese size so that is what I would need.

We don't have the inner cases for sale unfortunately.
Can I order the basic cotton pillow case (inner zippered case - japanese size 14x20) by itself to replace my damaged case (older buckwheat pillow)?

We don't sell the case by itself at the moment.

Best pillow I have had in a long time. I like that I can take out buckwheat hulls to make it more malleable. Great for my back and neck issues.

I first slept on a buckwheat pillow in Japan, but it was a hybrid pillow so I wasn't sure how I would like a full one. Well, I love it! It's by far my favorite pillow that I have ever slept on. I highly recommend it! In fact, I bought one for every member of my family for Christmas presents this year!

Rachel W.

Got two pillows for my friend and her husband as a going away present before their move to Maine. They love them and feel like their sleep setup has dramatically improved. Love these pillows.

Claire F.

It only took me a night or two to get used to my new pillow. For years I have spent my nights tossing and turning looking for a comfortable position. Now I just take a few seconds to make sure it's the way I want it and I settle in for a good night sleep It keeps its shape and supports my neck and shoulders. There is no odor from the buckwheat, and there is a zipper so you can add or take away some hulls to make it just right for you.

Heard great things about buckwheat pillows and I finally decided to try it out. Gotta say, so far so good! I love the adjustability, it provides great support, and it’s just all around very comfortable. Can’t comment on the longevity yet as I’ve only been using it for a month or so, but it feels like it’ll hold up just fine.

Rachel W.

I am loving the buckwheat pillow. “Japanese size” is perfect for sleeping. So far my neck pain is gone. Tbd long term use but I am very pleased so far. It seems very well made and the linen pillowcase is lovely.

Siyoung H.

It's a great quality pillow!

Karen H.

It’s good. We’ve used buckwheat hull pillows for years and do like the Japanese style size which can be a good resolution if the standard sized pillow is causing some kinks in the neck due to the bigger size of that. I like having a couple sizes to choose from. I thought the pillow case included with the pillow was a bit scratchy.

BETH S.

I have been looking for one of these since I experienced a perfect sleep in Japan on a buckwheat pillow. I am SO HAPPY with this pillow! Amazing. Great sleep, happy neck...organic,American made... Heaven!

Daniel A.

This pillow is great! I like how easy it is if you need to adjust the amount of buckwheat in the pillow even though mine arrived perfect for me. This pillow is well made and should last me many years.

Denise M.

My husband and I love our pillows. I did take out some of the buckwheat to make them softer. That was amazing we had that option. Thank you so much for great pillows. Denise McCain

Terry N.

I purchased this PineTales buckwheat pillow to replace an old one that had gotten worn. This pillow has a good fill to it and, just like my old pillow, is comfortable to sleep on. It’s a very good pillow at a very reasonable price.

Sally S.

It took some getting accustomed to, but I love my buckwheat pillow. Laying my head on the pillow is similar to when you lay down on a blanket on the beach and you dig into the sand until you're just right. The pillow forms to my head and then remains supportive all night. I also sleep better knowing that it's filled with a natural plant-filling and not anything synthetic. Thanks, PineTales, for a great product and great customer service. I will highly recommend this product and this company to my friends!

Scott R.

I wanted to make it work but unfortunately could not get comfortable. Everything about the pillow and even being local to me wanted it! I tried it for about a week and just found myself not able to adapt. I do believe most people can have great results with it. Being able to form it to any position you like was a game changer. I believe its worth a try if you're interested in it. The customer service is straight forward and made the transaction easy.

Victoria F.

This is an excellent pillow. You can take out some of the grains to fit it to your needs. Buckwheat is great if you have asthma, but it's also great if you need a form-fitting pillow. In cold weather, the buckwheat retains heat, so your pillow stays nice and warm.

Jennifer R.

I've been searching for a pillow like this since I travelled to Japan but had no idea how to find one in America! The filling can be molded enough to conform to your head and neck without squishing down like memory foam (which eventually does more harm than good) and it doesn't retain heat like foam either so no more night sweat and discomfort. Only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because I expected the Japanese size to be a bit larger than it was based on the measurements provided. This size would be perfect for someone who sleeps consistently in one position all night and I tend to turn from side to back as I sleep. The pillow isn't quite long enough to roll over without waking to readjust and I'm considering ordering the American size for that reason. Otherwise, fantastic product!

Jennifer T.

I was skeptical, but the very first night I used it, I was sold! It was recommended to me by my physical therapist for neck pain/support...and she was right. I can't remember the last time that I slept that comfortably. I woke up hours later in the same exact position that I fell asleep in, usually I toss and turn all night. It's really worth a shot, if you're on the fence.

Daniel A.

The inner cover is nicer than my old Zen pillow, and the outer linen cover is very comfortable.

Tricia M.

I love that this pillow is made in the USA! The filling is adjustable! Just unzip and customize to your liking.

P S.

Found a buckwheat pillow I can fill to adjusts for side or stomach sleeping. I don't wake up with a sore neck.

P S.

Finally found a buckwheat pillow I can fill to my preferred level of comfort. the size just right for hotels and travel. Adjusts for side or stomach sleeping and my neck isn't sore.

Jeanne R.

Very comfortable and great for my neck! love it!

Rachel D.

I have used a buckwheat pillow for years. This is my 3rd, and by far the best one.

Shirley B.

It is nice however I’ve always had the Japanese ones. Since this is closer I decided to try yours. I lived in Japan for 10 years working for a New York company.

Martha W.

It’s been the perfect pillow because it holds the shape of whatever presses into it. I use it to support my ankles when I’m meditating and my neck when I’m watching tv.
