Mini Buckwheat Pillow for Firm Head & Neck Support

Wherever your journey takes you, comfort should follow. The PineTales Travel Size Buckwheat Pillow is your go-to solution for supportive, breathable rest on the road. Compact and lightweight, this mini version of our full-sized premium buckwheat hull pillow delivers the same firm, moldable support—perfect for flights, road trips, or daily commutes. Like the rest our line-up of our buckwheat pillow collection, this pillow also comes with a washable and removable cover.

What makes this a great travel pillow?

  • Award-Winning Support: Named “Best Travel Pillow for Neck Pain” by the Sleep Foundation, it offers real cervical support to prevent stiffness and fatigue.
  • Compact & Convenient: Measuring 10" x 14" and weighing under 2 lbs, it slips easily into a carry-on. It arrives in a protective case, ready to use—no inflating needed.

Is it good for long flights or road trips?

  • Consistent Neck Support: Don't let the small size fool you. It's filled with 100% organic buckwheat hulls that offer firm, adaptive support to keep your neck aligned, even when upright.
  • Supports Multiple Positions: Perfect for upright naps during flights or resting flat at your destination. The pillow molds to your position, reducing strain in tight spaces.

How do I adjust and clean it?

  • Fully Customizable: A built-in YKK zipper lets you easily add or remove hulls to get the exact firmness you want for any situation.
  • Easy to Clean: The cooling, moisture-wicking bamboo outer cover is removable and machine-washable, so your pillow stays fresh even after frequent use.

Is it suitable for kids?

  • Great for Smaller Sleepers: Its compact size and lightweight design make it a convenient travel option for those with a smaller frame. Some parents find it helpful for supervised naps. (As with all pillows, please consult a pediatrician before using with a young child).

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.

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.
