Pillow sizes

Size Dimensions Notes
Round neck roll 14 x 6 in Neck support, reading, travel and yoga
Travel 12 x 16 in Travel and naps
Japanese 14 x 20 in The traditional buckwheat pillow size
Standard 20 x 26 in Fits standard pillowcases
Queen 20 x 30 in Fits queen pillowcases
King 20 x 36 in Fits king pillowcases

Will it fit your pillowcase?

Our Standard (20 x 26 in), Queen (20 x 30 in) and King (20 x 36 in) pillows fit standard, queen and king pillowcases from any linen shop, so you can dress them with cases you already own. Japanese (14 x 20 in) and Travel (12 x 16 in) sizes fall outside standard case sizes, so shop our Covers & Refills collection for a matching cover instead.

How much a pillow weighs

Buckwheat pillows are heavier than foam or down, because the hulls themselves have weight and mass. Approximate fill by size:

Size Approximate fill weight
Round neck roll About 2.75-3.5 lb
Travel About 3-3.5 lb
Japanese About 4-5 lb
Standard / Queen About 9-11 lb

Fill amounts are approximate and vary by product; see our Firmness & Fill Guide for exact adjusting steps and a fuller table.

Choosing a size by how you sleep

Size is only half the picture. How full you keep the pillow matters just as much, and that depends on whether you sleep on your side, back or stomach. Our Sleep Position Guide walks through each position, and our Firmness & Fill Guide shows you how to adjust the fill once your pillow arrives.

Meditation cushion sizes

Cushion Dimensions
Round zafu 13 x 13 in, about 4.5-5 in high
Crescent zafu 16.5 x 7.8 x 3.9 in
Square floor cushion 14 to 23 in square
Zabuton 18 x 18 in (in a set) or 24 x 24 in

New to meditation cushions? Our Meditation Cushion Guide explains the difference between a zafu, a crescent zafu and a zabuton, and how to choose between them.
