Pros:
First, and in my opinion most important: these pillows are comfy. They are perfectly supportive without being too firm or adjustable. I can't get over how wonderful my head, neck, and shoulders feel after sleeping on these.
The pillow is very breathable and keeps cool.
Cons:
Let me begin the cons by saying that none of these are important to me, but I list them for others who may be more particular about things than I...
- They're a bit heavy and noisy. Perfect if you want to win a pillow fight with a KO, maybe not so much if you have misophonia.
- These are not standard size for a queen / king size bed. If you measure, based on the dimensions in the product name, you might have known that. But I didn't measure. :P I wish they were wider / fit the bed (or even a pillow case) a little better, but the description is NOT misleading.
- The pillows have an earthy (buckwheat) smell if you're really trying to smell the pillow; however I do not notice the smell at all while using the pillow (then again, I don't sleep face-down).
- The pillow does not have a removable cover
Any of the cons above can be overcome by purchasing another company's buckwheat pillow, but then you won't get the best price.
Overall, I highly recommend this product for its comfort, if not for its sustainability and great price.

Sobakawa Pillow: Cooling Pillow That Helps Pain
What Does Sobakawa Mean?
- Soba is the Japanese term for buckwheat
- Kawa is the Japanese term means leather
Maximum Comfort with 100% Buckwheat Hulls
- Hulls have properties that make them uniquely comfortable, supportive and therapeutic for a restful nights sleep
- Buckwheat hulls allow for easier air flow
History of Buckwheat Hulls
It has been used extensively throughout the Orient for hundreds of years and is still the pillow of choice in Japan. Buckwheat hulls are believed to offer therapeutic benefits far superior to traditional foam and feather pillows. In terms of Oriental medicine, the Sobakawa Pillow offers an important element of human health-having a cool head.
Benefits of Sobakawa
- Stays cool, repels heat for air flow
- Reduces pain for the Neck, Head, and Back
- Perfect as a travel pillow and fits in your suitcase
How to Use
- Available at 15 x 20 and 20 x 29 inches
How to Use:
- While on your back - rest your head directly on the pillow. Allow the ridge that forms to provide support and comfort and restful sleep.
- On your side - allow contour support to keep your head level with your spine.
- Once you are accustomed to the feel of Sobakawa, shape it to your liking
Try the Sleep Freeze: This relaxing technique is achieved by placing Sobakawa in your freezer. Remove the chilled pillow and use as you will.

Real buckwheat and 100% cotton. Made in the USA
Very nice and a great price ($25). This is filled with Real Buckwheat, not polystyrene beads. The cover is 100% cotton. No odors, nice and clean. Arrived clean and sealed in plastic. My new favorite pillow. Made in the USA on the label! Highly recommended. I have largish hands so take that into consideration when viewing photos and determining scale. It's a little smaller than a standard sized pillow but that has not prevented me from sleeping soundly. It perfectly cradles my head and neck. Haven't slept this well in a long time. Been suffering insomnia for a few years so I switched to all natural bedding. Wool comforter, Cotton sheets, natural latex mattress along with this buckwheat pillow and it's made a huge difference. I never get hot or sweat while sleeping like I used to, I wake up dry, no back pain anymore, and I feel rested. Best money I've spent in the last year!
