Question 1

Is it ok to sleep on the pillow for long hours?

Accepted Answer

While originally designed for daytime napping and relaxation, many Japanese also use this pillow at night. It's not meant for extended sleep but works well for short naps and daily rest. Plus, its cooling properties make it especially popular during hot summer months.

The pillow's softness and adjustable heights make it comfortable for extended use, even during long hours of sleep. It conforms to your neck's shape, providing comfort whether you sleep on your back or side.

Question 2

is it filled with plastic tubes?

Accepted Answer

Hi there, the pillow is filled with non-toxic, hypoallergenic polypropylene pipes, also known as Nakamura Pipes in Japan, patented by Dr. Nakamura. These pipes are commonly used to fill pillows in Japan, and there's an interesting transition from using buckwheat (sobakawa) to these polypropylene pipes for several reasons:

- Buckwheat carries a higher risk of developing fungus and attracting small insects.
- Polypropylene pipes excel at maintaining the pillow's shape and allowing air to circulate, keeping it well-ventilated.
- Additionally, these pipes can be repurposed for filling another pillow when the time comes to replace the current one.

Question 3

How do I clean the pillow?

Accepted Answer

Igusa pillows are incredibly low-maintenance! Thanks to their natural sweat-absorbent properties and the infusion of Hiba essence, which contains hinokitiol, is a natural monoterpenoid found in the wood of trees in the family Cupressaceae, they actively absorb harmful substances like nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde.

The honeycomb-like structure further aids in reducing unpleasant odors from sweat.

Simply keep your pillow in fresh, dry air to let it naturally clean and aerate itself. Plus, the hypoallergenic pipes inside the pillow ensure that it stays comfortably breathable.

We hope this information proves helpful, and may you continue to enjoy your pillow!

Question 4

Is this a soft pillow?

Accepted Answer

This pillow is not soft; it’s rather firm. In Japan, samurai and geishas traditionally used this type of pillow for neck relaxation and quick naps. Its design allows for neck stretching and muscle relaxation, making it ideal for short naps. It’s a sturdy pillow with a rich history, passed down through generations for its unique benefits.
