At first it felt too hard, but I quickly realized I could mould it to whatever shape is most comfortable as I’m falling asleep. I often shape it to hold my neck in addition to my head.
I was looking for a pillow that doesn’t feel flat, I was using a memory foam pillow that would end up nearly flush with the bed by the time I woke up, which was really uncomfortable. The buckwheat in the pillow doesn’t really compress, so it stays firm and keeps it’s shape as long as you dont move too much.
I got a Japanese sobakawa pillow that a ton of people recommended and it’s incredible. I didn’t know a hard pillow could be so comfortable.
Really? What do you like about it?

As a rotisserie sleeper, I don’t think that’s going to work out well for me… I’ll stick to my ever growing nest of pillows.
You can also remove some of the buckwheat hulls if you find the pillow to be too thick. Wonderful pillows.
Which one did you get?
The brand is USLixury, I couldn’t tell you if it’s better or worse than any other out there but I really like it.
