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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

From the first night, my husband and I found the pillows very comfortable. We bought the smaller size as the regular was out of stock. Lucky for us! We love these. I use a silk pillowcase and I don’t need to worry about it fitting on my pillow as I did with my previous pillow, which was large, heavy, and organic cotton. My husband used a curved memory foam pillow. Each was more expensive than a Hullo. So–best pillows, less money, happier sleepers. FYI, we are both 81 years old, so seniors should consider Hullo!

I’ve desperately been looking for a pillow that will help me stay cool at night as I go through the life stages of menopause. I’ve purchased very high end pillow cases and pillows claiming to help you stay cool, to no avail. I found this pillow on Amazon, read the reviews and thought well I’ve come this far why not try something different. I’ve slept on it for a few nights, figured out how to get the right “squish” and it’s FANTASTIC! No sweaty head and wet hair! Say HELLO to HULLO! It’s worth every penny! I suffer from migraines as well and hope that this will be a game changer god forbid I have another migraine attack.

I have tried several pillows over the last few years – all with mixed results. My head and neck get quite warm when sleeping and regular pillows trap heat exceptionally well, unfortunately. I’ve tried cooling pillows, but those only work so long. Heard about Hullo pillow on a podcast for several weeks in a row, so did a little investigating and eventually bought the small one – hoping to keep from having to share with my cats (they just ended up either pushing my head off most of the pillow or sleeping on my face). It seems unsubstantial until you put force on it, then it becomes quite firm, which I rather liked. Molds very easily to shape of your head or face. Does get a little bit warm and retains some heat, but not enough to make it necessary to flip the pillow halfway through the night. It is rather comfortable to sleep on, though on occasion I do wake up with neck pain, so I’m debating taking some of the hulls out to see if that eliminates that as the pillow can feel a little raised.
My husband “borrowed” my pillow for a nap the other day and now is threatening to steal mine or buy his own.

I’ve given up on the Hullo pillow for a number of reasons. 1. If I was having a restless night the sound became annoying. 2. I subtracted hulls and added hulls but never achieved lasting comfort. 3. Where do I find pillow cases to fit? Unfortunately, I passed the return window of 60days, so I may turn into several small bags to heat for sore muscles.
I wish my husband liked it but he said it was too noisy for him, every time he shifted it was a bunch of crunching in his ear.
My chiro had me sleeping on a stack of pillows for my lower back pain which was not something I looked forward to each night! So I set out to find the firmest pillow made as my chiro told me I had to find a pillow that did not give at all to keep my spine aligned in a neutral position. After reading the reviews for the Hullo, I took a chance and it has been the best pillow for me. Even my chiro and my physical therapist have given their approval. I sleep so well on my Hullo and wake up pain free. I look forward to laying my head down each night. Thank you for this wonderful product!

This has revolutionized my sleep. I used to wake up with constant cricks in my neck and would frequently have headaches because of tension in my neck. This has all but eradicated that. I sleep more comfortable now than ever, I rarely wake up with a tense neck, and I feel like I don’t wake up as often at night. I’m never going back to a conventional pillow; Hullo’s got my heart.

Greatest comfort sleep pillow I have ever owned or used! A bit on the heavy side (not a discouraging comment). I have sleep issues, sleep on my side, and the position of my head and neck need full support. This pillow provides that and allows more sound restful sleep. I enjoy this pillow. Thank You

I was a little skeptical about a pillow that didn’t feel soft but it is so comfortable. Great and fast service. Would recommend.

Hullo makes a high-quality pillow. The buckwheat husks are uniform and clean. The pillowcase is exceptionally well made and sturdy. The ability to customize the pillow by removing or adding more buckwheat makes this pillow a great value. A welcome and loved addition to my pillow rotation, the Hullo has become my go to pillow.

I have no complaints with this pillow. While it is much more than I would normally spend on this type of an item, my sleep suffers so I thought it was worth spending the extra cash on. I also loved Hullo’s return policy as I thought it was a safe option when jumping into the buckwheat pillow game. I bought the king size pillow and it shipped quickly. I am a stomach sleeper so I took out two gallon ziploc bags of the hulls. I could probably take out a little more but I tend to just rearrange the hulls if it feels too raised. I love the customizability and that it is made to last a long time. I don’t see myself going back to a standard fill pillow.

Best thing since sliced butter.

This is not my first buckwheat pillow but my first Hullo pillow. I had a buckwheat pillow years ago. Hullo’s website was easy to use. My pillow was money well spent. I have neck problems and the buckwheat pillow can be shaped to fit my neck. Best sleep that I have had in a long time thanks to my Hullo buckwheat pillow.

I have had neck problems for years. With the combo of PT and your pillow, I feel great. This is the best pillow I ever owned. It does take a little getting used to. I had to take out some of the buckwheat hulls to make it perfect for me.

After using the pillow for 5 nights i had a stiff neck and constant pain on mid neck towards the left side. I end up seeing my PCP and he ordered xray everything came back negative. Went back to my old pillow and my neck less stiffness, mild pain. I just continue to do stretching and apply warn compress. Can i return this pillow?
Note from Hullo: Return instructions were provided to the customer.
Love that I can push the hulls around and reshape the pillow for different sleep positions. This has been a great help for neck pain. I want to buy a larger size next.

I have used a buckwheat pillow for over 20 years! I was glad to find your site as my pillow had lost a lot of its fullness over time! hard to go back to any other kind of pillow! This pillow gives me the support where I need it!

I have sinus issues. I started to believe they just ran in the family or something. They’re to the point that I can hardly smell.
Sleeping on this pillow for a few weeks, though, really went a long way towards clearing up this issue. It’s not gone, but it’s better.
