Sobakawa Pillow

My husband's been using the full size Sobakawa pillow for a few nights and he really likes it and his mask likes it too! My question for anyone using it, can you use a regular pillow case over the one that comes with it with the same good results?

Yes, you sure can. Won't change a thing.

Might even make it better, and could well make it last longer because you are not taking the one that comes with it off to wash as often. I use 2 pillows, and it is very comfortable. So, go for it!

I use a regular pillow case that came with our set of sheets...works great. I've been using the Sobakawa pillow since shortly after I started bipap therapy and still love it. Another advantage that you can pass on to your husband, is that the regular small size (like you would find at Bed Bath & Beyond or Walmart) works just as well and fits really easily in a suitcase. Never leave home without it. Lol.

OK, you are indeed discussing the pillows stuffed with tiny foam beads--not the crunchy buckwheat hulls.
Foam is indeed quieter, but mine from B3 is too tall (neck hurts)--I need to remove some beads.
Maybe I'll even cut the inner baffles, too.

$19.99 at Target and made of all synthetic (petroleum-based) materials. I might try one.

Glad to see recommendations for cheaply priced products made from synthetics.

Forums like these are often dominated by dreamy-eyed people who believe "natural" products are inherently better and if it is not high priced it is not worthy of their ownership.

Thank you DoriC!

I've used various variants of that type of pillow (both synthetic and buckwheat) for the last 15 years. In all cases, I have used just regular pillow cases that came with my sheet sets =)

I've been on the buckwheat one for about 4 months. I just use a regular pillowcase and fold the extra pillowcase underneath

We did try the small Sobakawa from BBB but it was too small and flat although the comfort was great, so I returned it, went online and bought a full size one which really seems the perfect size, Mike's AHI was 0.5 last night, Leak=0.4 https://www.buythepillow.com/index.php?page=Home
