Best Buckwheat Soba Pillow
So you’ve tried every disappointing pillow out there…
try this Buckwheat Soba Pillow
I am a pillow freak. I’ve tried a variety from Nitori’s best seller pillows to marshmallow pillows to cuddling with 5 different pillows of all shapes and textures at once or switching them out depending on the day. I have accumulated about 10 pillows total. I should just keep it simple at this point.
Americans love being surrounded by the comfort of 25 pillows- even the useless decorative ones.
The Japanese on the other hand, prefer just sleeping with one pillow because you only have ONE head. It’s a minimalist approach.
Let’s trace back to the history of Japan and pillows:
Japanese people used primitive pillows made of mats or small pillows filled with cloth during the Heian period (794–1185).
During the Edo period (1603–1867), traditional hakomakura (box-shaped) pillows, typically made of wood or lacquered leather, became popular among the samurai and geisha classes to keep their hair from being disturbed.
Buckwheat pillows became widespread and were used by the masses around the 19th century as cotton became more accessible.

The Verdict:
After using it for a month, my husband and I were fighting every night to use it. He prefers his pillows to be higher and solid, so he doesn’t move around at night.
I need my husband to have a good performance at work, which requires good sleep… so I let him have it.
Ever since then, he has been in a good well-rested mood. Lucky guy…
I use the soba pillow when I take power naps when he’s at work. It’s also good when you’re doom scrolling on your phone. It’s not fluffy at all, but serves as a good post.
