Product Overview
The 18 x 24 Large buckwheat hull pillow is a great choice for side sleepers with broader shoulders or anyone who needs extra height and support.
It is slightly smaller than a standard North American pillow, but larger than the traditional Japanese size, giving you more room for shaping and comfort.
We recommend 8 to 9 pounds of hulls for most sleepers. You can fine-tune the height by adding or removing hulls through the convenient zipper.

Thickness is approximate.
Buckwheat hulls shift under your head, and because this pillow has more space than the smaller sizes, the hulls can move more freely as you settle in. This helps create a deeper, more supportive cradle for your head and neck.
This size is ideal if you have broad shoulders, sleep on your side, or use a firm mattress that does not compress under your weight. The extra width and depth give you more shaping options and help maintain proper alignment throughout the night.
Fluffing the pillow is as easy as picking up the pillow by the corners furthest from your shoulders and letting the hulls settle at the bottom. This creates a roll of support for your neck. See how to fluff the pillow for some additional tips and simple techniques.
Premium materials and optional add-ons
Every Kuseno pillow is made by hand with 100% cotton downproof ticking and filled with the hulls of Canadian-grown buckwheat. The hulls are clean, sifted, and naturally air-dried for long lasting comfort. The fabric is breathable, durable, and designed to keep the hulls contained while allowing the pillow to stay cool.
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 slightly wider than the pillow for a smooth fit and feature an attractive 3" cuff on the open end.
