Natural Hinoki Cypress Rectangle Wooden Pillow

Over the years, I've spent more on pillows than I'd care to remember, hoping to find one that would not go flat after a day or two. Finally found this one -- and *love* it!As a fan of samurai movies, I noticed people often sleeping with their heads on what looked like a small, hard, rounded support. After some investigation, I discovered these headrests are cloth-covered wood. Just out of curiosity and because they were not very expensive, I decided to try one. I wrap mine in a folded bath towel (you don't want to drool on the wood!) and was very surprised to learn how comfortable this pillow is.Have been sleeping on it now for three months and have no plan to return to standard foofy pillows. I know it does not seem obviously comfortable to sleep on a hunk of wood, but it certainly works for me. In addition, it should last more or less forever, so I'll never again have to purchase standard pillows, each of which costs as much or more than this nicely-finished piece of cypress wood. I even plan to take it with me when I travel.

Very nice; could be a little thinner in the depth, with a slight bit more of a curve- the entire neck area is cut into the wood in one flat cut, with only the very edges beveled to meet the sides; would be nicer if there was a little more of a bevel into the neck area.Have been looking for one for a few years, but couldn't find one that was satisfactory. I appreciate the heft and the size. Perfect.

So you liked those wooden pillows at your local Korean SPAs and you want to get one for use at home. This is not it.The height level of this pillow is so low that it hurts your neck. I give it two stars since it is pretty solid and will probably last a long time.Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't sell the type of pillow that you are looking for.

I love the pillow as it helps stimulate my nerves around the neck area in any position I try to turn around. I have hard time to sleep because I often get pain around my neck and shoulder. Here is how it is so amazing... I just tried this for a few minutes, after a few turns to my sleeping positions so I can target on different nerves in the bank, left and right, all around my neck... it made me fall in to sleep I figure out that when the neck and should are realize, probably it gets more blood flow and oxygen to my brain and that is how It gets so quickly to put me in sleep by itself. Thanks for such a great tool.

I like this neck pillow a lot. It is simple, clean, and natural. I do not sleep on it all night, but I find it relaxing for short naps or long periods of laying down thinking. I also use it for other random purposes. It was worth the price.

Learned about these at Korean spa. This one is as good as any of the ones at the spa. Solid purchase.

Umm. Neck doesn’t fit over this. It’s awful. We all tried it at work and didn’t work for any of us. Flat where neck is supposed to go (not curved like your neck & doesn’t fit my neck length. More like a torture device or really expensive firewood :(Bought a rounded semi circle one and is much better.

It's a surprisingly comfortable way to realign my neck. It cradles my skull well. I use it for short periods at a time.
