5-Star Hullo Reviews (332)

American-Made Quality

I have been sleeping on my Hullo for about 3 months now and absolutely love it!  First Impressions:  Well made, different, and hard.  I started out using my Hullo thinking this pillow may not be for me.  However, I had a sore neck issue that wasn’t going away which is why I searched for, found and purchased my Hullo in the first place.  Anyway, I stuck with it through the first couple weeks of getting use to the noise (which I don’t notice at all now and my wife never has) and learning what shape works best for me.  I am a side sleeper and I find that if I fluff the pillow and then smash the middle down it gives my neck perfect support.  Once it’s the shape I prefer, it stays that way for most of the night with the need for me to tweak it once or twice throughout the night.

I have spent thousands on every type of pillow out there and I am so grateful that I found Hullo and I love my buckwheat pillow!  Thank you!

Keeps a Cool Head

I live in Florida–this is the pillow for hot heads. It actually keeps you cool, and the sleep is wonderful.

The Best

Yep, it’s the best pillow I ever used. I even wish there were a few more hulls in it so I could punch it up even more. I no longer have a sore neck in the morning! And I get hot at night–my ears turn bright red–and all I do when I awake is rotate the hullo and its coolness brings me back.

I should have ordered a king, but no worries–I’m happy with the next size.

Solved My Problem

I started sleeping kinda half on my side and half on my front and this caused me to wake up several times a night with an arm that had gone to sleep.   I found I could alleviate this a bit by stacking and folding my regular pillows into just the right configuration.  But if I changed sides, which I tend to do several times a night, I would lose that perfect configuration, and I would have to raise myself is out of sleep to reconfigure.  The Hullo fixes all that.  Just the one Hullo keeps my head up and supports my neck perfectly. And if I turn and then need to adjust the Hullo, one soft punch in its side usually does the trick.   Adjusting the Hullo with a punch has become intuitive and I am not waking up to do it with each toss and turn during the night.   No more arms going to sleep.  No more middle-of-the-night pillow engineering sessions.  This Hullo is a delight.

Take a Chance

TLDR:  Amazing pillow. Don’t let the Buckwheat or price tag steer you away. Highly recommend.

So, if you’re here, you’re likely like me.  Maybe you cicked on an ad, maybe it showed up on a google search.

Regardless, I found myself here, looking at site.. thinking it just another pillow claiming to be the next cure for world hunger.  Buckwheat? that was a nickname of one of my grade school friends.

Eventually, I decided to try them, as their return policy was great and my current pillow had me up with a sore neck and headaches more often than not.

So, the pillow arrives. I try it out of the box. It wasn’t a good nights sleep at all, or the following 6 days.  It comes with a sheet suggesting to adjust the buckwheat levels, so I tried that over 2 more nights.. and magic happened.

4 months later, I can’t imagine using any other pillow. The headaches are gone. Switching from back sleep to side sleep is effortless.

It’s even gotten to the point of me taking my pillow with me when I travel, as any other pillow seems woefully inadequate.

So if you’ve read this far and are on the fence.. I can’t recommend that you try one enough.

This is It!

I’ve had buckwheat husk pillows in the past, but they weren’t nearly the quality of the Hullo. This pillow my not be for everyone, but if you’ve struggled with your regular pillow you should try the Hullo. It works for me.

Amazing!

At first it felt like i was resting on a bean bag, but over the last several months, I’ve never slept better!

No More Neck Pain

It took approximately one week to decide that I will never sleep on any other pillow.  I have degenerative disc disease, whiplash, arthritis and other diagnosis that I cannot spell. Sleeping on the hullo pillow has given me pain free days. The pillow is expensive but I would do without food to have the relief it has provided.

This is a sincere testimony from a chronic neck pain sufferer. I wish everyone with neck and shoulder pain had the opportunity to see if this pillow would help them.

I Like It!

Took a week or so, ended up taking out about 3 cups of hulls to get the optimal size/shape for my side sleeping comfort zone (there are still plenty in there). Now it’s very easy to get comfortable on, and only needs an occasional push or poke if I change position.

Didn’t Realize How Much I’d Love This Pillow

I honestly wasn’t even looking for a new pillow when I stumbled across the Hullo.

However, I had been sleeping on a memory foam mattress and pillow and had been consistently waking up with a sore back. I thought that the mattress was the source of the problem but after reading some of the reviews for the Hullo, I figured it would be easier to try a new pillow as opposed to a mattress.

After just a couple of days, I noticed that my back pain in the morning was pretty much gone and has remained that way for the several months that I have been using the new pillow.

Even though it feels strange to be so enthusiastic about a pillow, I have found myself bringing it downstairs to show it to several people and have raved about how great it is.

I know some people mention that they have an issue with the noise the buckwheat makes, but this has never been a concern for me. In fact, after you get used to it, I think it is somewhat soothing.

New Level of Comfort & Sleep

To be honest, when I first got the pillow, I thought it was weird and didn’t see what all the fuss was about. It took a week or two, but sure enough Hullo became the only pillow I enjoy sleeping on.

I sleep on both my side and back and I always used two soft pillows, often folding one of them in an attempt to get the support to hold my head and neck in the right position. With Hullo, I form the pillow to the perfect shape and thickness and it holds my head in the right position all night long.  If I roll over or readjust in the night, its easy to shift the fill with my hands to adapt do different sleeping positions.

Now, floppy soft pillows just seem woefully inadequate and I sleep on Hullo every night. I even take it with me when I travel, because no other pillow comes close. Highly recommended!

No More Pain

I used to have neck pain when I woke up in the morning. So annoying! But I’ve been using the Hullo for several months now, and I love it. With a flick of my hand, I can adjust how much filling is under my head; I push the buckwheat to be flatter or make a raised area under my neck. I had tried SO many kinds of pillows and none of them stopped the pain until I tried this. I don’t think it’s noisy at all–never bothered me one bit. (My spouse says he never hears it either.)

In Love!

For 19 years I used a small buckwheat hull pillow called “Bucky”. This past spring, my Bucky finally fell apart and I found it is no longer manufactured. I started to panic because I can never sleep on any other kind of pillow and always brought Bucky along when I traveled. To my immense relief, I found Hullo and it is every bit as good as Bucky was! I sleep in all four positions during the night and with a slight shove, Hullo adjusts perfectly to cradle my neck no matter where I am.

Thank you!

Love My Pih-dough

When my son was just learning to talk he loved his pillow. He didn’t have a special blanket, he had a special pillow which he called his pih-dough. It was cute then. But now, twenty years later I find I have a special pih-dough. I have tried many different kinds of pillows such as memory foam, down, special shapes and curves promising comfort and relief. None really worked for me.

Then I read about the Hullo Pillow on a trusted website. I felt I had nothing to lose in view of the generous trial period. I liked the pillow right away. But in the weeks I have been using it, I have learned how to shape it just right for great sleeping. No more neck aches. Lots of support. Cool comfort. Now I have a special pih-dough–I love it.

Thanks.

Good for Sleeping on Your Side

I mostly am a side-sleeper. My Hullo pillow is just the thing I need.

I took out some of the hulls so the normal height was just right for me, or a bit high. Then a very slight adjustment gets me to perfect.

Incredible, It Actually has Kept My Head cool at Night

When I heard about Hullo and the claim about it allowing air to flow through it, I thought I’d give it a try.

I got this as a father’s day present from my wife and kids. Ever since I got it (it’s August now) I can’t recall having a single night where I was feeling hot and sweaty on my head. This alone has made Hullo be the best pillow I’ve ever owned.

Asides keeping my head cool at night, the fact that allows me to make it conform to the shape of my head/face is a huge bonus. I sleep on my side, and I can now be comfortable without feeling like I am drowning in a too-soft pillow, or having my head at a weird angle because the pillow is too tall or hard. If laying on my back, I can have more of the fill support my neck… there’s always a way to make it fit whatever position your head is on it.

The pillow is quite heavy, but that has turned out to be a good thing: It stays where you want it to stay.

The noise it makes from the hulls shifting around is not bad: my wife says she’s never heard it or bothered her at night. And if she’s happy with it, it’s a keeper.

I didn’t have to mess with the amount of fill… I’m using it as it arrived, since after a couple nights of use I realized how I could move the hulls around.

I added another zipper cover and my usual pillow cover and have loved it ever since I got it.

If pillows are a pain in the neck for you, I would say you should at least give it a try. Chances are this is the pillow for you. You’ve got nothing to lose.

True Relief from Headaches!

I have suffered from years of tension headaches and restless sleep. My chiropractor said that with my overly tense neck muscles it was pertinent to get a new pillow. I tried the temperpedic pillows for a while which only exacerbated my symptoms. My neck was still too small to use these pillows. It wasn’t until I came across Hullo pillows that I’ve experienced relief!!! It was odd at first to get used to sleeping on a buckwheat hull pillow but it truly does what it says it does! Provides support all through the night, even when I want to change sleeping positions. The hulls can make noise as I move positions but it has never bothered me or my husband.

I take this pillow with me everywhere now when I travel and truly believe it’s made a big impact on the amount of headaches I experience. I would recommend this to anyone who’s struggled to find the right pillow. Give it a try, it can make all the difference.

Love My Hullo

Took a while to get used to the noise, and some fine tuning on the amount of fill, but my Hullo pillow is now my guarantee of a good sleep with no stiff neck or shoulders in the morning. I’m a back sleeper and Hullo lets me have neck/cervical support while still letting my head rest just slightly to the side to prevent snoring.

I bought the small size which sideways in a standard pillow case that I then fold in half. To adjust the softness I took out enough hulls that I filled a little pillow that works great as a lap pillow to prop my Kindle or iPad on when I read.

Better Sleep

I was waking up multiple times a night, having a hard time getting to sleep in the hot summer months, and had very sore shoulders. My wife and I bought a new mattress and Hullo pillows the same week. It took me five or six nights to get used to new pillow, but once I did, it made a huge difference. My neck and shoulders stopped aching. I started falling asleep faster because my head was not getting hot (these dissipate heat very well). And I started sleeping through the night, though that probably has as much to do with the new mattress as the the pillow.

Neck Saver

I’m a toss and turner. Before the Hullo I would wake up with a sore neck from a the pillow being too soft and flat or too tall and firm. With Hullo I can adjust it to find that comfort sweet spot. If it’s not right I’ll wake up and either flatten the pillow or “fluff” it up. I now toss and turn less and wake up feeling better.  And I love not needing to turn the pillow over to the cool side.

One side benefit I found. My kids and I like to have pillow fights. Which are not so good for keeping your pillows in shape. The Hullo doesn’t participate in the pillow fights, not because I don’t want to ruin my favorite and valuable pillow, it’s because the kids (their little) say it’s too heavy!

I’m a Convert!

I love the substance of it – it’s thick, heavy and I know it’s not going to move around a lot when I’m asleep. When I wake up, it’s where I left it. Took a little getting used to, but I’ve tried a lot of pillows and this is what I’m going to keep.

No More Neck Pain

This is the first pillow I’ve found that gives nice firm support to my neck. I used to have a sore neck throughout the day from poor position/support the night before, but ever since I started using this pillow, my routine pain has pretty much completely gone away. I’m kind of shocked myself at how big a difference it’s made, and surprised to find myself writing one of those seemingly overenthusiastic reviews, but Hullo deserves it. So worth it—the ability to precisely shape the pillow so that it supports my neck just right is something I’ll never want to give up!

Cool as Both Sides of the Pillow

Supportive, cool, and smells nice. 10/10. Would buy again.
