Do you remember a night at a Japanese inn when you slept deeply? Part of the reason was igusa. Wrapped entirely in 100% natural igusa, this memory-foam tatami pillow naturally draws in night sweat, keeping the area around your head from growing stuffy so it stays dry through the night.

Inside, shredded memory foam softly catches the weight of your head and settles into the shape of your head and neck. The vanillin and phytoncide in igusa carry a faint scent, like lying down in summer grass, and with each deep breath your shoulders let go. Care is simple: wipe it with a dry cloth. From Ikehiko, part of tatami craft in Fukuoka since 1886, this is tatami made for sleep.

Three sizes to match how you sleep:
• L (50 x 70 cm, about 20 cm thick, 2.6 kg): the tallest, for side sleepers
• M (50 x 70 cm, about 10 cm thick, 1.7 kg): the lowest, for back and stomach sleepers
• S (40 x 40 cm, about 15 cm thick, 1.0 kg): for the sofa or a nap

White Edo Komon: A light, airy komon pattern on a white ground. It goes with any bedding and settles into a clean, fresh bedroom.

Made by Ikehiko Japan
Carrying on the igusa-weaving tradition that Fukuoka, on the island of Kyushu, is known for, Ikehiko has been supplying tatami omote since 1886. For 140 years, the company has held to hand-finishing every piece from Kyushu-grown igusa — and growing some of that igusa itself, alongside partner farmers.

Materials & Origin

Cover: 100% natural igusa, which is naturally antibacterial and odor-neutralizing, helps regulate humidity, and resists staining
Fill: Shredded memory foam, for a soft, pillowy feel

Features & Benefits

Memory-foam support: Shredded memory foam softly cradles the weight of your head and settles into the shape of your head and neck, easing your posture through the night.
Moisture absorption: Igusa naturally draws in night sweat, so the area around your head stays dry rather than stuffy.
Humidity control: Igusa's porous structure takes in moisture and releases it, softening the humidity around the pillow. Even on a close summer night, it stays less stuffy.
Scent: Igusa carries vanillin (the same sweet compound found in vanilla) and phytoncide (the scent green plants release), for a faint aroma like lying in a grassy field. Every deep breath helps you unwind.
Odor care: Igusa takes in moisture along with the things that cause odors, so night-sweat smells are less likely to linger.
Freshness: Igusa naturally helps hold back bacteria, so it is easy to keep clean night after night.
Stain resistance: The grass's own natural oils protect the surface, so dirt and stains are less likely to settle.

Three sizes, chosen by height to match how you sleep:

M (50 x 70 cm, about 10 cm thick, 1.7 kg): the lowest. For back and stomach sleepers.
L (50 x 70 cm, about 20 cm thick, 2.6 kg): the tallest. For side sleepers.
S (40 x 40 cm, about 15 cm thick, 1.0 kg): small and light. A companion for the sofa or a nap.

How to Use

Start tonight by simply swapping your usual pillow. No furniture, no renovation.
For a close summer night, a pillow that does not get stuffy, comfortable until morning.
Pair it with one of our tatami floor mats to set the tone of a whole Japanese bedroom.
For meditation or breathing practice, rest it on the floor to support your neck and head.
A practical gift for anyone who struggles with a stuffy, sweaty pillow.

How to Care

Simply wipe clean with a dry cloth. No washing needed.
Igusa naturally helps neutralize odors, so night-sweat smells are less likely to linger and the pillow stays fresh.
No pillowcase yellowing to worry about.
In humid seasons, air it out now and then in a shaded, well-ventilated spot.
