Long Pillow (Insert & Cover Set)- Aizome-fu

Gentle Comfort, Timeless Blue
Our Long Pillow is twice the length of the Tawara Pillow, giving you extra space to move and relax while sleeping. Whether used as a sleeping pillow, a back stretcher, or a footrest, it adapts effortlessly to your needs.

The cover features string ties that let you adjust height and firmness to match the contours of your neck. Loosen the ties to lower the pillow, or tighten them to increase height and firmness—customizing it exactly to your comfort. The inner pillow also includes an opening with a funnel, allowing you to adjust the filling for your ideal softness.

Crafted from our Aizome-Fu fabrics, which are inspired by the rich, beautiful blue of traditional indigo dye (Aizome, 藍染め), these patterns give the same elegant, timeless look without using actual indigo.

Choose from three filling options to suit your preferred support:

  • Soft Pipe — light, soft, and gently resilient
  • Buckwheat Husk — breathable, natural, and traditionally firm
  • Hard Pipe — firm, stable, and durable

With adjustable side ties and customizable filling, you can fine-tune both height and shape, making every moment of rest perfectly comfortable.

Care

This product contains either pipe or buckwheat husk filling. To maintain its quality, please follow these care instructions:

 
  • Hand wash only (Max 40°C): You may hand wash this item at a water temperature of 40°C (104°F) or cooler.
    *Special Care for Tassels: If your product has decorative tassels (房), please handle them with care as they may break or come loose during washing. Even if a tassel is damaged or lost, the product remains safe to use.
  • Do not bleach. / Do not iron. / Do not dry clean.
  • Very gentle professional wet cleaning is permitted.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Hang dry in the shade: After washing, moisture tends to remain trapped inside the pipes. Please remove excess water thoroughly—for example, by wrapping the product in a towel and shaking it gently. Then, we recommend hanging the item to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
    *For Heavier Items: If your product is heavy due to a large volume of pipe filling, please ensure it is supported properly when hanging to avoid putting too much stress on the fabric or seams.
  • Do not wash. Buckwheat husks must not get wet.
  • Sun Drying: We recommend drying the product in direct sunlight for a few hours on a clear day. This helps evaporate moisture and dry the husks, which is effective in preventing dust mites, mold, and odors.
  • For Products with Covers: We recommend removing the cover and focusing on sun-drying the insert (inner cushion) itself. The cover should be laundered separately according to its specific care label.

If this product comes with a removable cover, please refer to the care label with laundry symbols sewn inside before washing. Detailed explanations for each symbol are provided below:

About Aizome-fu

Aizome (藍染め) is the Japanese word for indigo dye. The dye is naturally extracted from the leaves of the Indigofera Tinctoria plant, which creates a beautiful indigo shade of blue. Our Aizome-Fu fabrics with traditional Japanese patterns are meant to replicate that same beautiful look that the indigo dye creates.
