Customize the look and firmness of your J-Life Buckwheat Hull Pillow, or Soba Gara Makura, with our Japanese pillow covers and loose buckwheat hull (available by the pound).
Our handmade buckwheat pillow covers allow you to easily transfer the buckwheat pillow filling from an existing pillow cover into a different one, so you can refresh the look of your Japanese bedding, or replace a damaged/ worn pillowcase.
This buckwheat pillowcase features a solid design in a rich chocolate brown color.
Traditional Japanese Comfort
Faithful to Japanese tradition, your sobakawa pillowcase 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.
Sizes
Our buckwheat pillows are available in two styles: the buckwheat neckroll pillow and the rectangular buckwheat pillow (each sold separately).
I laughed when I first got this pillow, figuring I wasted money because it is so small. I am shocked because it is perfect! It is comfortable and perfectly sized to sleep on, either on my side or on my back. I have not had any neck cramping since I have had it and I love that you can customize it by removing some of the hulls.
