I went shopping online and noticed that some of the popular microbead pillows used the term “sobakawa,” which is japanese for “buckwheat,” in in their product descriptions.īuckwheat hulls (the hard outer shells that protect the buckwheat plant’s seeds) have been used as pillow filling for hundreds of years. I started a buckwheat pillow company a few years ago (go ahead, click the link up in the upper-left corner), so I couldn’t resist ordering one of these things to see what the hell it was. The pillow that flashed on screen was apparently filled with microbeads. “A pillow 300 years in the making, based on the traditional Asian buckwheat pillow.” Recently I overheard an exceedingly optimistic narrator on television say:
A handful of clouds… err… microbeads Have you seen those late-night microbead pillow informercials?
