I like the concept of a well structured pillow, especially for sitting, but for sleeping I found it dangerous… apparently my natural sleep position is to put an arm under my head (and pillow) and as i sleep the Hullo puts too much pressure on it and the arm gets tingly etc. I’m not sure if removing hulls would help or not.
Best pillow. Mine has a silk case.

Absolutely no neck pain. Who knew? I’ll have to buy another for my man who also suffers from compressed neck discs and I also recommended to my sister.

Best pillow I have after tying so many. Also have the travel size pillow to I take it with me when i go traveling.

I used to wake up frequently with a sore neck and back. That stopped when I started using the Hullo pillow. I’m grateful for the product and for the customer support. I ended up needing additional fill for the pillow and customer support helped me through the process.

I had chronic neck and shoulder pain for so long. My pain was gone immediately with this pillow. I can’t say enough about it. Well worth every cent!!!

Let me first say, I was So busy trying to love my Hullo pillow that I missed the deadline for returning it, otherwise I would have sent it back. I’ve spent a load of time removing and adding the bulls trying to find a comfortable level. It continues to evade me. Overall I find the pillow to be too firm. Sometimes it’s ok if I layer it with a softer pillow on top. In the end, it’s another $160 spent on a pillow I don’t use, and it’s gathering dust in my pillow graveyard.
Too heavy and did not help for the sleep at all
Hullo supports my neck. It’s a great pillow. I’m glad that I longer have to crunch up a pillow while sleeping. I’ve ruined many pillows over the years and I’m happy with how much better Hullo is. Happy The Loop recommended it.

For a few years, I have been searching for a pillow that allows me to wake up without neck pain. I have literally spent nearly $1,000 on pillows. Soft, firm, memory foam, contour, gel, designed by sleep specialists, etc… I have tried them all with no relief.
I got my Hullo pillow yesterday and this morning is the first morning in years I have awoken with no neck pain. Love my Hullo!

I have bought all natural buckwheat hull filled pillows before, and that converted me to using them, since they were natural, breathable, and provided great support for the neck while sleeping (in keeping with God’s design of the human neck-this offers ideal support I’ve found)! When I needed another buckwheat hull filled pillow, I looked into and decided to try Hullo pillow, I could not be more satisfied with this pillow! A nice soft, durable organic cotton cover over all natural buckwheat hulls! And, there was NO odors at all of the pillow! That’s the best thing to top it off! I recommend these pillows! In fact, I just came here to order another one 🙂
It’s great how it’s malleable to support your neck. I personally find the small Hullo to be just right! It’s a nice size. Easy to position for optimal comfort.

I LOVE my Hullos. We have four, and I just ordered two more king sized pillows. I am 7 months pregnant and I have a 3 year old and 1 year old. At the end of the day, I can’t wait to crawl into bed with my Hullos.
They also make great reading pillows, I prop them up when I am reading in bed and they offer a very comfortable and supportive backrest.
I highly recommend molding them prior to sleeping on them.
When I was looking for a buckwheat pillow, I was getting frustrated because the buckwheat pillows I was finding were made in China and not organic. I love that these are made in the USA, organic, and extremely clean (dust free).
I would recommend Hullo to a friend.
Yeah! That’s a damn good pillow!!
Mine came today and omg!!! So happy!!! These are the best pillows for sleeping or propping up and reading a good book!!!
This pillow is everything they promised and it’s USA made how can you go wrong.

Best pillow ever for me, however, I’m sure it’s not for everyone. It does take a slight adjustment getting used to it. I like firm pillows and a truly firm pillow is not easily found these days. This thing is amazing and I’ve been using mine for more than a year. I haven’t had a kink, crook or pain in my neck once since using it. In fact, I’ve told my wife, more than once, how great my neck feels. I can turn my neck completely left or right with absolutely no pain or hesitation. Almost feels like you do after a good massage. That being said, my wife is using our second one. She likes it but isn’t quite in love with it like me. Thank you Hullo.

The bag/case/pillowcase that the hulls are in should be 60% smaller in order for it to hold the loft, shape and cooling properties of a genuine Japanese Buckwheat pillow. I now need to either manufacture a pillow case with the correct circumference for this pillow or else buy a less expensive but correctly filled and proportioned pillow on another site.
From Hullo: We immediately contacted the customer offering his choice of a full refund, a smaller size pillow, or some extra hulls to fill his pillow. The customer opted for additional hulls to address his concerns.
I am obsessed with my Hullos. When I am at home, I cannot sleep comfortably unless I have them. I definitely miss them when I traveling, and I am going to purchase a small pillow for traveling. I use them as back support and as a pillow to hug while I am sleeping. I love that they are moldable so I can customize the support of my back and neck.
I have two young children, so by the end of the day my back is aching from bending down and picking babies and toys up all day. They take some getting used to, and they are more expensive than some pillows, but well worth it. Plus I love that they are organic and stay very clean/dust-free.
I honestly can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend!!!

I’ve been looking for buckwheat pillows since I left mine in hotel room. This buckwheat pillow is better than the one I had…
You can’t go wrong with this pillow.

Note, this pillow is not for everyone. First, the bad:
Now, the good:
Oh, unexpected bonus. Wife had Hullo over her abdomen when our toddler leapt on her knees-first. Hullo completely absorbed and dissipated the impact.
So, more bad points than good points, but the good points completely overwhelm the bad points for me. In short, it comes down to personal preference. You spend a few extra seconds getting it in the right position when you first bed down, but then you don’t need to move it all night, which is good b/c if you needed to, it’s heavy and noisy.
I would recommend Hullo to a friend.
I loved this pillow at first, the noise was nothing and the comfort level was high. It even looked really good, which is not something I normally notice.
However, after a few months, I started developing headaches and neck pain. I took out fill, added fill, and did what I could. It just wasn’t for me. I shift from my side to my back during the night and it’s not easy to readjust the pillow without waking up and doing it. Of course, I was outside the return window but that was my fault.
I love my pillow, needed to take some of the fill out to reach my desired firmness, but I preferred too much fill, which was easy to remove, rather than too little. I sleep better with this pillow than any other I’ve found.
My 6 year old daughter has hijacked it for now because she loves its weight on her body as she falls asleep! I am going to need to steal it back!

When the pillow arrived it was too full to use, so I took out 8 cups and that ended up still a little too full for me so I took out another 8 cups and while that may have been a little too much it works for me. I learned a long time ago that I didn’t really need a pillow until I switched to a waterbed. Then I started using a buckwheat hull pillow that was not adjustable. Still I found that what I needed was support under my neck. That pillow died and I got the Hullo as a replacement. Now with it as light as it is I can jam the whole thing under my neck and get the support I need. The buckwheat pillow is always cool when the night is it’s hottest and a relief to feel in those conditions.
Washing the pillow (minus the buckwheat) is something I haven’t tried yet though I’m curious to see the results. Being able to change the size to suit my needs is the feature that sold me on the Hullo and I don’t regret it.
I would recommend Hullo to a friend.
I’ve had my Hullo pillow for a little over 6 months now and I’ve loved it the whole time. I prefer firm pillows when I sleep and, before buying this one, would generally get a pillow, use it for maybe a year, and then get gradually worse sleep as the pillow wore out until I grabbed a new one and started the process over again. Though it hasn’t been a year yet, the Hullo has been as solid as when I first got it and has helped my sleep immensely. I will say if you are considering buying one it definitely takes some getting used to and isn’t for everyone. It’s by far the firmest pillow I’ve used (which was great for me it turns out) and when you lay on it you stay put where you laid your head down. Also the sound of the pillow can take some adjusting too since it is a bag full of hulls; it’s not a loud sound, but it is something to get used to if you shift around at night.
Overall, though, I can’t recommend it enough!

Ever since I got this pillow (smallest size), I sleep super well.
It stabilizes my head at a supportive level so that it’s set to stay there for 8 hours as I sleep.
I loved it so much, I considered getting a buckwheat hull bed… and then I did.
I also got my sister one for her birthday and she’s pretty happy with it.
It feels pretty good about sleeping on something that’s made in the USA, doesn’t pollute a ton in its creation, and won’t pollute when I’m done with it.
Win-win all around.

I have the Hullo and really, really enjoyed it the first several months. Now I think it’s time for a break with a softer pillow. The height is a little too high for my shoulders and adjusting it each night can become a chore. I’ll definitely revisit it, but have not yet stopped using it.
