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

Btw, I see this situation a lot when reading reviews. Customers seem to leave reviews on items that are not the listing I am looking at. I've even researched & found that this is generally something to do with Amazon's sorting of items rather than the fault of the customer or review. That is why I'm taking the time to point this out. I just went in to review my 2nd purchase of this Sobakawa Cloud Pillow & found the review that I had made on an entirely different pillow than the Sobakawa Cloud. So - I'm attempting to clear the air. I LOVE THE SOBAKAWA CLOUD PILLOW ! This is the second one I've purchased in a few months. It is very soft, yet holds my head stable all night long. I use it for many positions, back & side sleeping as well as propping my arms. I only wish it was offered in either a full or queen size because this little pillow is just that - little. it works, though. Now - to set the record straight: below is a review I left for a pillow that is called & advertised as 'The Best Pillow In The World'. I paid a LOT of money for these pillows, & as I describe in the body of the review, I've bought multiple pillows from them because the first one was very nice. So, here's the review for those pillows, which is entirely different from the pictured SOBAKAWA CLOUD PILLOW above. When I first received this item, I loved it. I'd purchased a lot of bead pillows from another manufacturer a couple of years ago & was very pleased with it. These pillows are grey & oddly shaped, filled with microbes. 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. However - the beads also began to clump together in areas inside & I could not get them to break down (as another reviewer had written concerning the same issue & had been told by the seller that the clumps would dissipate & to massage them. Well. The did not dissipate & couldn't be massaged out. So, while the pillows are still very comfortable, it is losing the support factor that makes them so appealing to me. As I said - mixed feelings.

This is a great pillow! I have 30% left off some of my neck discs and this one has been very helpful for years. This is my second one. They do wear out after a while, which is normal, but it takes some time. I used the first one for a few years before needing a replacement. I actually kept it and shortened/minimized the pillow case and I can still use it, especially for traveling. It is very lightweight/weightless actually, and it is easy to transport in a vacuum bag. I am so happy I was able to find it here on Amazon again. I wish it comes in bigger size. Highly recommend it for neck pain...no more pain regardless of sleeping position!

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

I am enjoying the pillow for sleeping! I wake up without a stiff neck and it feels like it gives me right support for my neck. I only complaint is the pillowcase. When i put the pillow inside, the clasp fell off & I cannot get it to reattach so I have to put the pillow (with the broken pillowcase) inside another pillowcase. Too much a hassle to return, would have loved it to work, but will still enjoy the actual pillow.

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.

1 star given because of abominably poor customer service and faulty zipper on pillowcase. When my pillow arrived arrived, there was no pull tab on the pillowcase zipper slider as shown in the photo below, but since I was able to move the zipper slider with my finger, I kept it. Then the zipper slider slid completely off. I tried to slide it back on, but I could not get both sides on. I contacted the company to see if i could get a new pillowcase. Even though this was my second purchase, the company has not responded.

This is a great pillow. It is small, but I love that. I hate a big bulky pillow. I have had other pillows with various flexible stuffing but most of those everything just flattens out or goes to one side. Because this has a little bit of stitching, it provides some framework for the beads and you can mold them but they still hold a shape. I sleep in all different positions and this works for back, side, and stomach. There was a little bit of a smell at first. I just aired it out in the sun and washed the cover. All fixed. I highly recommend this product.

Well, I haven't tried sleeping on it yet, but since this particular product was titled "Natures Pillows" I assumed it was different than the "As Seen on TV" Sobakawa pillow and that "Sobakawa" was a generic term for this type of pillow. Well, no. It arrived today with a sheet of paper indicating it is the "As Seen on TV" pillow and I guess "Sobakawa" is, in fact, a registered trademark of "Natures Pillows." Gotta say I was disappointed and felt pretty stupid to boot. Interestingly, this product description says 20 million microbeads and the other Sobakawa pillow's description says 10 million. As the products are the exact same dimension, I am pretty sure this one is not 20 million. However, I was a bit confused by some previous reviewers saying the pillow was overstuffed and others saying it was under stuffed... Perhaps that's where the 10 or 20 million actually comes into play... Maybe there actually are some pillows out there will 20 million stuffed in them. The one I received does not seem overstuffed by any means (guess I got the 10 million version!). The pillow is 12.6" x 18.5" x 3.15" and did come with a pillow case, but yeah, it looks pretty small. There is a little bit of an odd smell to it, so I will let it air out a few days then I will give it a try. If I like it (or hate it) I will update my review. I wanted to get this review up so that if anyone else out there thinks this is different than the "As Seen on TV" kind due to the different name on the product title, they will know better (unlike me!). UPDATE: 2/10/14 Make sure to wash the pillow case before using the pillow too. I think that is where a lot of the odd smell comes from. After I washed the pillowcase and put it on the pillow, it smelled fine. Also, I tried putting on a standard pillowcase in addition to the pillowcase that comes with it and that is a mistake. The pillow is just too small and then you don't know how to properly position it for when you are sleeping. That first night I woke up the next day with a stiff neck and a headache. The second night I used it without the standard pillow case on it and that worked better though my neck was still a little stiff the next day. Third night it just wasn't working for me and I switched to my regular pillow during the night. Not sure if I will get used to it or not. It has a pleasant feel in general and I don't find it too noisy as some reviewers have mentioned. I guess the small size is an issue for me though. Overall it is not the "miracle pillow" I had hoped for and I probably would not buy it again.

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

¡Este es el segundo que tengo y me encanta!
