The J-Life Soba Gara Makura

The J-Life Buckwheat Hull Pillow, or Soba Gara Makura, adheres to centuries of Japanese tradition by creating a pillow that is simple, comfortable, and durable. In Japan, the most popular type of pillow is not filled with down feathers or synthetic fiberfill. It is filled with buckwheat hulls- the tiny seed casings of the buckwheat plant.

This buckwheat pillow features a white dragonfly pattern on teal fabric.

 

Why Switch to Buckwheat?

Buckwheat husk pillows create a sleep surface that is firm yet cushioned, so it conforms perfectly to the curvature of the neck and head in any position. This can be particularly beneficial for people who suffer from neck or back pain, as the pillow helps to align the spine and improve sleep posture.

Buckwheat husk filling is also naturally hypoallergenic, breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps keep you cool and dry throughout the night.

The buckwheat hulls we use in our pillows are 100% organic, double cleaned, and grown here in the USA. They contain no toxic chemicals from fumigation unlike imported buckwheat hulls.

 

Traditional Japanese Comfort

Our buckwheat pillows are available in two styles: the buckwheat neckroll pillow and the rectangular buckwheat pillow (sold separately). Faithful to Japanese tradition, your buckwheat husk pillow set is composed of:

  • An outer sheath that functions like a pillowcase and is available in White Ultra Sateen or in the same matching fabric as the outer case. In Japan, the color white is considered sacred and is associated with purity, humility, and cleanliness. It holds great significance in the Shinto religion.
  • An outer case made with 100% cotton imported traditional Japanese Fabric.
  • 100% organic buckwheat hull filling.

You can also choose to add the calming, sleep-inducing fragrance of organic French lavender to your pillow.

All of our buckwheat sleeping pillows are handmade by skilled craftsmen and designed to last for many years. After you try it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

 

Rectangular Buckwheat Pillow: 13" x 18" - 3.8 pounds

Buckwheat Neck Pillow: 3.5" x 15" - 1.2 pounds

Am just starting to use it, but can already tell it will be wonderful. Quality is excellent, and delivery/service have been excellent also.

Worth the money

This buckwheat pillow is just what I needed. No more sleepless nights and chiropractic visits for my neck. After removing about 3 cups of the buckwheat it is now perfect so that I can adjust it for the correct support. At first I thought it might be too hard of a pillow yet it is softening up as weeks go by. It is easy to adjust the pillow once some is removed. Nice size for traveling. The pillow cover is easy to remove. I am a side sleeper but am able to adjust it for sleeping on my back as well. Get the lavender! The scent is not too strong, just perfect.

Perfect in every way

Fell in love with these style of pillows during a trip to Japan and finally bought one after straining my neck trying to find a decent pillow from the usual big box stores. I’m getting one for my husband for Father’s Day because it’s honestly the best pillow out there.
