I have been looking for so long for a super firm pillow that isn’t foam. I wanted a pillow I could smoosh up under my head and support my neck the way I need it to and this pillow is a dream. Love at first try and I’ve had 5 nights of great sleep on it.

My husband wont sleep on anything but a buckwheat pillow. I had to get rid of his old, old pillow. Was glad to find this one by Hullo. He loves it. Molds to your head for superior support.

I’ve been trying to find the right pillow for years. As someone who is a side sleeper and also prone to neck pain, I’ve finally found the one. Not sure how I went so long without my Hullo. Did take about 1 week to adjust to the new style but truly can’t live without it now

Sweaty hair nights no longer a frequent occurrence. The wife appreciates the additional support; her shoulders and neck are no longer stiff in the morning (switching from non-down filled). Great pillows and quality casing and zipper.

I highly recommend the Hullo standard pillow if you have neck and shoulder pain. I got mine while undergoing physical therapy, and two months later, I am doing better than ever. I used to often wake up with neck tightness, but now, I feel like I can finally relax. The firmness and buckwheat hulls take a week or two to adjust to, but it does get a little ‘softer’. I don’t see myself ever going back to a traditional pillow. I’m a side sleeper, and the standard is just right. I can get it adjusted under my neck, and it stays pretty well until I move. It is somewhat cooler, but I flip my pillow once or twice a night on nights I get too warm. It’s heavier, and it makes a rustling sound, but I like both of those qualities. The pillow doesn’t slide around, and the sound is not unpleasant. The standard is too thick as it comes for back sleeping, but you can remove hulls. I haven’t removed any, and I would probably like even more. I would say that for my body, this is the best pillow ever. If you need a very firm pillow that allows your shoulders and neck to finally relax, try this one. I also like the natural aspects and connection to traditional Japan.

I was having horrible neck pain when I woke up every morning no matter what pillow I tried. First night with the Hullo Pillow, no neck pain. I’ve been using mine for 7 years now and it has completely ruined me for any other pillow. Traveling sucks if I can’t bring it with, one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Could not be happier! I just laid down in bed and am still so pleased with my pillow that it seemed like it’s time to write a review.

It’s weird at first, but the sleep quality is undeniable. I won’t sleep on another pillow.

I was having trouble with neck and shoulder pain all the time. Swapping between two different pillows through the night trying to get comfortable. Decided to try something completely different and bought a Hullo pillow. I was anticipating a break in period but the first night I slept all night with no pain in the morning. Have recommended this pillow to many coworkers. Thank you for a great product!!

I have never had a pillow that will comfort me effortlessly and this is it. This is the pillow to end all pillows. Why anyone would pick anything else is beyond me. I will forever be a Hullo sleeper.

Love how supportive it is for side sleeping! My neck feels supported through the night whether I sleep on my back or my side.
My husband and I both had major allergies when we first opened it but then we fluffed it really good and used two pillow cases each and slept fine. It’s now good and doesn’t need two cases.

I’ve tried dozens of pillows, trying to find a pillow that works for me. My search ended with Hullo. I no longer wake up with neck or shoulder pain. It does not feel too hot to me, and I’m relatively sensitive to that. It took me about 3 nights to get used to the firmness, bit now I love that aspect of it too. I travel for work, and bought a second one to keep in my car to use at hotels.

I bought my hullo pillow in 2016 and have been using it since. It’s still my favorite pillow.
I sleep on my side, and my hullo pillow supports my head and neck and keeps them stable. I haven’t had neck pain in years.
I highly recommend trying this product.

I ordered my standard size Hullo buckwheat pillow in August of 2024; I’ve been sleeping on it for well over a year now, and I love it so much. I enjoyed it right out of the box. I recently bought a new mattress, and during that process, I tried out an Avocado side sleeper pillow that I really liked in store. I ordered one, but after a week or so of trying it out at home, I went right back to my Hullo! I’m a side sleeper, and I love how supportive my Hullo pillow is. It holds its shape for much longer than other pillows (including the Avocado), plus it sleeps cool and is so great for reshaping. I highly recommend it!!

I have tried numerous pillows and then one day I had a terrific neck ache. It was so bad I went to a chiropractor and had an adjustment. After that experience, I asked different people what kind of pillow they sleep on and my girlfriend’s husband told me about Hullo. He sleeps on one of your pillows and he raved about it. He told me it helped his neck so I ordered my first one. After 2 years it needed more buckwheat so I ordered another pillow and an order of buckwheat. I refilled the old one and it’s perfect again . I have been so impressed with this pillow. It’s absolutely amazing and I have not had a neck problem since. Thank you.

I love my pillow i think its amazing
But there is 1 or 2 things tbsy could use some work. 1 the design of the pillow. Its not a regular pillow so i needs something different. Because after moving everything to a position i want im left with a half empty pillow with fabric just flopped over. 2 how much material is in the pillow itself.

Very comfortable and no longer wake up from hot spots or tender ears.

Never matted. Easy to adjust to the shape of your head and neck. Comfortable! Sleep good. Enjoyable!

I have been searching for a pillow that provides firm enough support for my finicky neck and came across the concept of buckwheat hull pillows. When I saw that Hullo pillows are made in Duluth, MN, with Dakota-grown buckwheat hulls–all of that is close to home for me!–I knew I needed to give them a try. My order arrived amazingly quickly. The pillow is well-made, and I found it comfortable to use right away. I did end up feeling I needed to add some extra hulls and sent an email to the company. A generous box of hulls showed up on my doorstep the next day! I highly recommend this product and Hullo as a company!

This pillow is very nice, and I am happy to buy a product made here in the USA! It is made of buckwheat and takes a little more time to put on the pillow case and makes some crunching sounds when adjusting. It is supportive of my neck and very comfortable. I am a Physical Therapist and specialize in spine care and would definitely recommend this pillow!

We were skeptical when we read the great reviews, but because of the guarantee we decided to try it. Since using the pillow, I have not had the neck and upper back problems I regularly suffered from. The only time they came back is when we went on vacation and didn’t have the pillows with us. I cannot recommend this pillow enough.

Take the time to get in allignment! Took out 4 big scoops and it was perfect. Took about a week to get used to (texture, noise, firmness, etc) but this is the best pillow I have ever had. Sleeping great 👍

I love this pillow so much. Adjustment period was about one week. I now feel like I’m sleeping on a cloud, a perfectly neck-supported cloud. Every time I turn my head during the night I find myself resting in the perfect spot on the pillow. Incredible. Why aren’t all pillows like this?

Hello everyone! Thank you all for the privilege of your time. I wanted to share my review and let people know that as of today—April 22, 2025—I’m experiencing better sleep quality with the standard-sized buckwheat pillow I purchased from Hulltex, the makers of the Hullo Pillow.
I took off one star because the price is on the higher side.
The pillow was packaged well and shipped via UPS.
Unless something changes, I plan to keep the pillow, as I’m still well within the 60-day trial period.
Yes, I’m aware that the return shipping fee would be my responsibility if I decide to take advantage of Hulltex’s “60-Day, No Questions Asked, Money-Back Policy.”
To echo what many others have said: everything about buckwheat pillows is true. It’s not mumbo jumbo. I’m sleeping better and no longer waking up with uncomfortable neck and shoulder pain. My cervical spine feels rested and well supported.
One interesting effect—though it needs more time to confirm—is that I’m no longer waking up in the middle of the night with mild xerostomia (dry mouth), needing a sip of water before returning to sleep. Lately, I’ve been going to bed around 10 or 11 PM and waking naturally around 6:30 or 7 AM.
If you’re on the fence or experiencing the oddities that others here have reported, give buckwheat pillows a try and see for yourself.

My physical therapist suggested this pillow and I’m so glad he did. I’m a side sleeper and I love how I can get my neck completely neutral and Hullo fills in around it. It just cradles it in the perfect position. It’s so odd that the pillow is “hard” but I get such great sleep. Most mornings I wake up and I haven’t even moved. Don’t forget that you can take filling out to get the right fit. I am 5’4″ and I took out about a half a gallon sized baggie of hulls.
