Years-Long Hullo User
I could sell these all day long. It’s like a mold around your head and neck. Sometimes if I get up in the night I might push on the hulls a bit and they just fill in the “neck gaps”, again, like a mold. Yes, the pillow is heavy’ish and it has some sound to it, but it’s the best pillow I’ve ever had. I’ve been using one for years and feel the same way. Just recently bought the smaller travel pillows (my partner feels the same way) so that’s why I got a review request. People who complain that it’s hard as a rock need to take out of the hulls. They are malleable so they naturally push down in, but you may have to take some out. I guess it’s not for everyone, but if you end up loving like we do you’ll be so glad you bought it.

Sleep On It
The Hullo pillow is comfortable and provides better support than the synthetic filling pillows I’ve used in the past. I have’t used it through the summer yet, but it seems to stay cool without having to turn it over constantly. It’s definitely noisier than other pillows but that hasn’t been an issue now that I’ve gotten used to it. The only downside I’ve found is that since it’s essentially a sack of buckwheat hulls it can’t be neatly propped up against a headboard and it can look lumpy if you don’t flatten it out. Those are entirely aesthetic issues though and only matter if you’re particular about making your bed.

Hard as a Rock!
An acquaintance recommended this pillow for my shoulder pain, but my goodness – it is hard as a rock. And loud. I hate it. But failed to read the return policy and fear it would cost too much to return ship, since it would be akin to shipping a cinder block. Expensive lesson.

Love It!
I had neck pain with my original pillow and at times I would get headaches. I order Buckwheat Pillow a few days after Christmas and for the last 4 months I had no check pain or headaches. I does take a few days to get the pillow just the way to want it but it worth it.

Love My Pillow
I’d never been happy with a pillow before discovering this. They were all too soft and too bouncy. The buckwheat hull pillow is just right. It’s supportive but malleable, and I like the rustling, crunchy sound.
Thanks, Hullo!

At Last, A Quality Pillow
The buckwheat hulls are supportive without cutting off blood flow, and do a good job of circulating air as well. The pillow casing did not set off my chemical sensitivities, and is well constructed with a zipper meant for years of use including refills. I’m so glad I invested in this pillow. It’s a major life upgrade!

Very Happy, Sleeping Better
I was suffering from neck and back pain. A friend referred me to the Hullo pillow and I am happy they did. Sleeping much better!

Impressed with My Pillow
I am enjoying my pillow. It is a bit firmer than I am used to but I definitely do not toss and turn as much with my new pillow. It sleeps much cooler than a foam pillow even those that claim they have some kind of cooling fabric. It also has no odor. I bought a new pillow from a chain store that had to breathe for 24 hours before using— that can’t be good.

Love It
This small pillow is perfect for me. I sleep on my side and on my back and this pillow provides the right amount of support for constant switching. I also like the noise the buckwheat pillow makes when moved. Wish I got it a long time ago.

1st thought…buckwheat pillow?…SOUNDS WEIRD…after 1st night…OMG I LOVE THIS THING!
OK let me start by saying I’ve never even considered a buckwheat pillow before. I’ve either used foam or feather pillows in the past. But there is a point after so many nights of wrestling with your pillow you get desperate and are willing to try anything.
COST:
I would not call the buckwheat pillows from “hullo” cheap and I’m sure you can find bargain pillows online. That being said my personal option is if I’m trying something different I want to try the best and get the clearest idea if it’s right for me.
QUALITY:
The quality of material from “hullo” is wonderful. I don’t have any other buckwheat pillows to compare but I would say without question I’m totally satisfied with what they sell and can’t think of anything else I would want or expect.
FIRST NIGHT:
From my research on buckwheat pillows I had expected it to be a bit loud. This is small hulls right next to your ear after all. But I have to say it really isn’t that loud and one thing to remember is it only makes noice when your moving around on your pillow not when your resting still. That leads me to my biggest revelation with this pillow. After only a few minutes I realized…with a buckwheat pillow you literally are able to “sculpt” a custom pillow for your head every time you use it. With a buckwheat pillow every time you move you get a whole new pillow custom to you.
After the first night my wife said my snoring was almost zero. Everyone’s experience is obviously different but lets just say I was impressed…VERY impressed after the first night.
COMPLAINTS:
We don’t live in a perfect world and most things in life can be improved on. In the case of the Standard 20″ × 26″ Bed Pillow I purchased from “hullo” I would say only one thing stands out as needing improvement. The amount of buckwheat they provide in their pillows. Don’t get me wrong it’s not like they rip you off or anything on the fill amount. And yes, every customer is likely to have a slightly different amount of “ideal” fill. All I’m saying is I wish they would provide you MAX filled pillows and explain to the user that you will likely need to remove some to reach your ideal fill. This would save your customers the extra $50 cost required for extra buckwheat filling. Then again it’s a business and profit is required.
Just saying….hullo…if your reading this…and let’s be honest it’s a review on your own site…your reading it…please just consider erring on the side of caution and put more filling in your pillows:)
LAST WORDS:
Did I spend $150 (including my purchase of extra fill) on one pillow? Yes I did…and I would do it again in a second! I love my hullo pillow…enough to even write a lengthy review praising it.
