Sobakawa Cloud Pillow with Microbead Fill- Microbead Pillow- Contoured-Shaped Pillow for Neck and Head- Support Pillow for Sounder Sleep- Microbead Pillow for Sleeping- White

I have had my first Sobakawa cloud pillow for well over 15 years now and it is still doing it's job of comfort. I just bought a new one to well just have on hand because I don't ever want to be without one. Sorry for the bad reviews it's getting. I am and always have been a side sleeper and this helps so much with neck and shoulder pain. I fall asleep fast and wake up with no pain. For the price doubters should give it a try.

I'm writing this the morning after receiving my Sobakawa Cloud Pillow from Amazon. One night was all I needed for this review. Like everyone, I think of my bedroom as a sanctuary from the world's stress and that's why I want it to be as comfortable and soothing as possible. I've suffered from head/neck/back pain for years from sleeping on pillows that lost their shape way too soon and went flat on me. Before last night, I slept on a combination of a regular pillow, a body pillow (which was wrapped around the reg. pillow), and a huge European-style square pillow to top everything off. In a nutshell, neither that elaborate setup or the many pillows that came before it gave me even one fraction of the PEACE that the Sobakawa gave me in one night of testing. It cradles my head and neck perfectly, and it keeps my spine aligned when I shift during the night. The micro-beads move when you move in order to provide proper cushioning at all times. At the risk of sounding too "New Age," the Sobakawa Cloud Pillow gave a level of comfort that was almost like being back in the womb. My first night's sleep with this pillow was truly the best I've had in years, and when I had to wake up in the middle of the night to *cough cough*, all I could think of was how much I wanted to go back to bed! :O) I've noticed a lot of complaints elsewhere on Amazon about this pillow's size, firmness, and the noise of the micro-beads. Yes, the pillow is slightly smaller than the standard bed pillow, but in my opinion it more than pulls its weight on the job. I admit that I was surprised and disappointed about the size when I first opened the box (because I was used to big luxury pillows), but I changed my mind very quickly once I used the Sobakawa. Appearances can be deceiving. What looks like a "dinky travel pillow" to some, turns out to be a great sleep investment for others (namely me). Another complaint is that the pillow is too hard/too noisy. I did not experience these problems. The micro-beads crinkle a little when you move, but not enough to seriously disturb the person or wake him/her up. As for the hardness, if you love ultra-soft down pillows and others of that type, then the Sobakawa Cloud Pillow would probably be too experimental for you to try. The way others have described this pillow, you'd think the reviews were written by "The Princess & The Pea." The Sobakawa is NOT a glorified brick, and its micro-beads didn't stab me to death in my sleep. Instead, they gave me the support I needed after years of pain that came from using those royal, ultra-soft pillows. To each his/her own. One last thing about this product that struck me as funny: The tag that comes with the pillow & case set has a bunch of underlined warnings on it, saying that the pillowcase must ONLY be used with the SOBAKAWA PILLOW! Only the PILLOWCASE can be washed! One must NEVER get the Sobakawa pillow WET! The only things missing on this way too serious tag were the words, "Or else!" I suspect that wetting the pillow would ruin the micro-beads, but would it kill them to actually explain that instead of screaming "Don't do it"? Or does the pillow turn into a gremlin when wet? I call dibs on Gizmo! LOL

This is the original Sobakawa cloud pillow with micro beads and a pillowcase. Do not be fooled by any other! I purchased one that was $10 more that showed the picture and said it was this original pillow and when I opened the packaging, it was a buckwheat pillow. I got it refunded and purchased this one. Just got it today and it’s the same as two others that I’ve purchased over the years. I love this pillow, it’s a perfect size for me. I use it when I sleep on my side, I hold onto it so it keeps my arm in a good position to sleep. It’s also great to put behind your head on top of your regular pillow to watch TV. This is not a full size pillow so if you want a full-size pillow, then this is not for you. So comfortable and soft! Highly recommend.

When I first received this item, I loved it. I'd purchased a million bead pillow from another manufacturer a couple of years ago & was very pleased with it. I recently spent some time with my 92 yr old dad 2000+ miles away from where I live & decided to buy a couple more to have when I'm there. Somewhere along the trip - was it the altitude of travel? - the pillow I'd had for yrs & took along just flattened out. it was really weird. So I decided to try to find another alternative because I'd originally loved this type of pillow. Thus, this purchase. As I said, when it first arrived, I loved it. Not only did it hold my head in place all night - it was much softer than the other ones I'd purchased. So much more comfortable. But sadly for me - it's beginning to kind of flatten out already. It's only been a couple of months. I don't know what it is about these pillows - is it the type of textile used to contain the beads? I've always used the pillow cases that are sometimes sold separately but came with this purchase. It's a real disappointment for me because these pillows are like none I've ever used in the past. They are totally supportive on each side of my face & hold my head in place so well that I barely move around. I'm keeping this pillow & even contemplating purchasing another one - perhaps this first was just a fluke. While it is still very very comfortable, it is losing the support factor that makes these so appealing to me. As I said - mixed feelings.

Best pillow ever!

Didn't use this product 6 weeks and the seams tore and beads went EVERYWHERE! I've spent an hour vacuuming them up and still have missed some. I have a different brand that has lasted me 5 years. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Waste of money!

Sobakawa Cloud Pillow, great for comfort. Highly recommend seller.

Some years ago I bought 2 Airgrip pillows which I found extremely good to support my neck with one and under my knee with the other. Recently my husband needed some help for his neck and I gave him one of my pillows (he has been quite ill and is disabled). Since having this pillow he won't give it back!!! Not finding Airgrip I bought 2 Sobakawa pillows and I haven't been disappointed. Although quite expensive in relation to other pillows, they are well worth the extra. I have an adjustable bed so, with the back raised to the level I want, this is the ONLY pillow I need for support. I can easily adjust this pillow to where I need comfort and support.

Top confort des oreillers microbilles. Pour le prix on s'attendait à un emballage un peu plus luxueux qu'un plastique de type envoi de chine, où d'ailleurs cet oreiller est fabriqué . Dommage qu'il soit impossible de commander en seconde taie. Mais après une nuit et une seconde on ne regrette pas l'investissement. J'en ai illico commandé un deuxième.

Ok, although this hello, is expensive. It did fit in my suitcase. Which was the whole point? And I brought it to Australia. And then dominican, with me, and I had a good sleep with this pillow, buy it.If you can

This is my 3rd pillow. Only pillow I can use for my neck. I take it with me even on vaca. My chiro suggested it as he uses one too!
