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 sakura blossom pattern in white, pink, and red on baby pink fabric. Visit our blog to learn more about cherry blossoms in Japanese culture.

 

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

First time trying the pillow

They are pretty good. It's gonna take some time to get use to the stiffness and how small it is but I can actually sleep on my back without any issues and it really helps out with my neck. So I like it and the scent it came with is nice and mellow and not overpowering.

Perfect.

I fell in love with this style of pillow while travelling Japan. I'd always liked firm pillows, to the point that I would even forgo pillows entirely some nights and just fold up a blanket to use as a pillow. If you also prefer a firm pillow, these things are incredible. Just enough give to let your head sink in and be stable, but perfect at keeping your neck straight as a side sleeper to eliminate pain the next morning. Highly, highly recommended.

10/10!

Better than sleeping on my old pillows, my head actually feels properly supported with the Buckwheat hulls. It's a lot firmer than I thought it would be, but it's also unexpectedly wonderful. Great pillow, much better sleep with it, and the lavender smells lovely!
