[Ilsang Jingmul] Korean Neck Pillow


Today, we're excited to offer Ilsang Jingmul's Korean Neck Pillow!

They specialize in making Korean-style neck pillows. These are different to the western-style, "fluffy" pillows as the pillows are firm - not soft!

Though firm, these neck pillows fully adjust to the unique contour of your neck and promotes consistent airflow so you can maintain a comfortable core temperature (great for hot sleepers). 

A normal, healthy neck has a gentle C-shaped curve.

Place the neck pillow there, under your neck - not under your head!

By firmly supporting the curvature of your neck, your body is able to relax better.

These neck pillows are very popular in Korea as they help maintain proper posture and spinal alignment while napping or resting.

(Note: If you step into any elderly person's home in Korea, chances are you'll see a few of these pillows lying around.)

Ilsang Jinmgmul’s Neck Pillow are filled with premium-grade Hinoki Cypress.

They are made from Cypress trees that grow in Jangheung (South Jeolla Province). This area is renowned in Korea for its large, lush Cypress forests.

What we love about Hinoki Cypress (편백나무) is the natural, forest scent – a refreshing and therapeutic scent that immediately takes you outdoors.

It can also be stuffed with buckwheat hulls, which are locally grown in Bupyeong, Gangwondo.

Buckwheat Hulls offer great support due to its natural firmness and adjustability. 

Either stuffing is encased in an inner pouch that's made with 100% organic cotton.

The outer cover is 100% hand-stitched with premium-grade linen or polyester.

Both can be detached and washed separately in case of a spill.

We think this neck pillow is perfect for leaving on your living room sofa or in the backseat of your car.

Use it when you feel like taking a much-needed nap. Or to rest your chin as you read a book or look at your phone.

(Note: It's not meant to replace your normal bedroom pillow).

Note: If it feels too firm, you can adjust this by taking out some of the filling.

Works well as a gift for friend or family!

Choose from a variety of beautiful fabric colors.

Replacement fillings are also available - for Color, select "N/A" option, then select Filling type.

Gochujar Editor Note: Some fabric colors are made in limited quantities and may not be available throughout the year. If you choose a color that is out-of-stock or no longer made, we will contact you with other options.

Arrived Yesterday - that fresh forest smell!!

I am very much enjoying my new pillow. It's a new fixture on my sofa now. In truth, I was not sure about it when ordering. But I tried it for the first time to hold my neck when I read a book. As described, it is very firm and surprisingly soothing. I appreciate the craftwomanship of the pillow and the best part, is that smell of the Hinoki! Also, Daniel was great in answering all of my questions about this.

How to Clean
dda.jpg__PID:6f810a47-23d1-4578-a836-146e5ea29eb5

IMPORTANT: Remove the outer cover and place it in a laundry net before washing.

FOR MACHINE WASHING: Use the “Wool” setting and wash for a short cycle at 30°C (86°F) or lower.Note: Regular laundry detergent is fine. Do not use fabric softener. Hand washing and air-drying are also acceptable.

Dry cleaning is safe.

If liquid spills onto the pillow, unzip the cover and remove the filling. Sun-dry thoroughly, then place it back into the pillow.

If the buckwheat filling becomes damp, unzip the cover and allow it to dry thoroughly in the sun.

Note: Because the inner cover is made from 100% organic cotton, small gray specks may appear on the fabric. This is a natural characteristic of organic cotton and not a product defect.

Optional: Filling Replacement
