Product Overview
Our recommended size for most people! The 16" x 22" medium buckwheat hull pillow is slightly larger than the standard Japanese pillow size, allowing for more room around your head. Price will vary based on fill amount. The recommended fill amount is 6 pounds of hulls. See our chart for how thick these weights are.

The thickness is an approximation to give you an idea of how the hulls affect the loft (height) of the pillow.
The buckwheat hulls will shift under the weight of your head, but lacking the extra space that the larger pillows provide, they will not move as much by morning, so your head will end up at pretty much the same height as when you fell asleep, while still not feeling as cramped as the smallest size. See how to fluff the pillow for some tips.
All of our pillows are made with 100% cotton downproof ticking and filled with the hulls of Canadian-grown buckwheat.
Add an outer pillow case!
Enhance your experience by purchasing an optional outer pillow case. The outer pillow case is open on one end like a standard pillow case so you can wash it more frequently than the inner zippered case. The fabric is high quality 100% cotton with a neutral vine pattern and is a little more breathable than the zippered ticking. They are made 1.5 inches wider than the pillow and feature an attractive 3" cuff on the open end.
