CA Went To Japan To Buy A Pillow After Suffering From Neck Pain, Price Will Shock You

New Delhi: An Indian chartered accountant (CA) suffered from neck pain. She suffered from prolonged work on her laptop. Instead of seeing a doctor for treatment, she chose to travel to Japan. There, she purchased a special pillow, costing approximately 40,000 rupees. It's generating widespread discussion online.

The CA says it's an investment to get better sleep and relief from persistent neck pain. This chartered accountant, Vipandeep Kaur, said that working on her laptop for long hours and using her mobile phone had taken a toll on her neck. During her trip to Japan, she decided to get a pillow specially designed for her body shape and sleeping habits. She said she bought the pillow from the 400-year-old shop of 'Nishikawa' located in Nihonbashi.

Pillow worth Rs 40,000

Vipandeep explained the process of making this pillow, saying that Japanese "sleep experts" first understand the customer's neck structure and sleeping needs. It begins with taking neck measurements and selecting the right fabric. Customers are then asked to lie down on pillows of different heights to determine the correct pillow height and support for their sleeping position. Only after these measurements and testing are completed is this customized pillow created. The pillow is filled with black Binchotan charcoal pipe beads, which provide neck support and greater comfort while sleeping.

'For me it is a good investment'

Explaining his decision to spend such a large sum on a pillow, Vipandeep said that he had never paid much attention to his sleep before. But as he has aged, he has started experiencing sleep-related problems and persistent neck discomfort. "Using a laptop and mobile phone all day has taken a toll on my neck. I love sleeping, so this is a good investment for me," he said. He hopes this customized pillow will help ease his neck pain and improve his sleep.
