Flat and Uncomfortable
I was very excited to receive my standard Hullo pillow. The first thing I noticed is that it feels under filled. To fully support my neck and head, I have to move all the hulls to one side, leaving the other side barely filled. As soon as I put my head down, the hulls shift and the pillow goes flat. I haven’t found the hulls to maintain their position at all. Maybe it was supposed to come with more hulls? After sleeping on this pillow for a few nights, my neck was extremely sore and I couldn’t even turn my head or lift my arms. I stopped using it completely after a week because the pain just kept getting worse but never got around to returning it. Save your money.

Just So-So
It is just ok. It is very heavy and it is a large ball when I wake up each day. I will use it off and on probably. I will keep looking for my perfect pillow. Would not recommend to friends.

Thank You Hullo
I love my Hullo pillow. It was a rather expensive but well purchased pillow, worth its weight in gold. I have been having severe neck and shoulder pain. It was so bad that I was actually screaming. My neck is degenerative, and I had a huge knot across my shoulders. My doctor ended up putting me on muscle relaxers. I knew I needed more neck support for when I slept. I have looked at so many different pillows online trying to figure out the one that I thought would suit my needs. I have several friends that have tried buckwheat pillows but did not care for them. What my friends didn’t tell me or couldn’t tell me which which buckwheat pillow they tried. One of my friends claimed about how noisy it was. After reading all the reviews and taking weeks and maybe a number of months, I decided to break down and get the Hullo pillow It was the best pillow purchase I have ever made. The first thing I did when I got it, was listen for the noise that my friends had complained about. This pillow had minimal noise. There’s no smell or odor. The casement for the buckwheat is superb. When I got my buckwheat pillow i opened it up because I wanted to actually feel buckwheat. It really surprised me because it is so soft. When I finally laid down on it it was like instant relief and support for my neck. The first night I slept on it my body did not move at all. Between my Hullo pillow and my weighted blanket, I have the best sleep experience. I also have Tourette’s syndrome, so this has been the a huge help. TS has caused much of my neck problems. Thank you Hullo for helping me.

Would Recommend!
I’ve been sleeping on a buckwheat pillow for 10+years. This one is the best I’ve found. Casing is durable. Nice that the hulls are washed. Allergies much reduced over cheaper buckwheat pillows I’ve had in past. Love the zipper for adjusting fill or for washing. I’m a side sleeper & this pillow had the right amount of fill right out of box. Keeps my neck pain away. If you are new to buckwheat, the pillow does make noise when adjusting during night. Has never bothered my partner & doesn’t wake me. Definitely recommend the Hullo pillow!

Won’t Sleep Without My Hullo!
From the night I received my Hullo, my sleep routine was forever changed! I’m a small, petite individual, so I opted for the smaller sized pillow for my first test run, and has found that this size works perfectly for me. I had no issue, or adjustment period as some reviews mentioned – I wasn’t bothered at all by the light sound of the buckwheat. The Hullo pillow truly cradles my neck. I create a little indent, then nestle in for a fabulous night’s sleep. I’ve tried a memory foam pillow, and botanical latex pillows that are a healthier version supposed to mimic down pillows. My Hullo is by far the most supportive for my neck, out of all pillows I’ve tried.
This felt like such a quality purchase. The packaging was modern, clean, and used an absolute minimum amount of plastic, just shielding the pillow itself. I also love supporting businesses who care about where they source materials from, create clean products for consumers, and who fully produce & operate in the US. I just purchased a Hullo for my mom for her birthday. I’m so happy with my purchase. Thanks Hullo!

Wanted It to Work for Me
I have had chronic neck pain for years and have been on the search for a supportive pillow for my neck and shoulders for about a year now. I put in probably 2 months using this pillow. I used it for about a month and when I continuously was waking up all night and in the morning with neck pain, I thought it was because I needed it to be firmer because throughout the night the hulls would move around so my neck wouldnt be supported. So I bought more hulls from the site. I added a decent amount to make it firm but it I was still waking up in pain. I had to switch to an old pillow actually because it was putting my neck and shoulders in worse pain than before. So I’m still on the search! I really wanted to love this pillow and raved about it before getting it. Even though it didn’t work out for me the quality of this pillow is amazing and would recommend it to a friend who may not have serious neck pain like me. On to the next!

Best Night’s Sleep
When buckwheat pillows came out years ago I had one and I loved it. But, I had to put it in a pillow protector because it was just dirty dust. That was one of the cheap ones, the hulls were not washed. I didn’t know much about these pillows back then. Oh how I hated to put this much money out on new pillows, but I bought one at a time. I would not give up my pillow. I had neck surgery and and the Hullo pillow gives me support right where I need it. These buckwheat hulls are washed there isn’t anything on the inside of my pillow case. I can’t believe I had that other one. But one of the features that I love about this pillow also is the very good zipper and material that you use on this pillow. I can’t say enough. I’m very pleased and now that I have two I’m even super pleased.

Awesome!!!! 😎 (🛏 😴 💤)
I have been enjoying this pillow from the moment I received it. I love that I can position it different kinds of ways. Plus it keeps your head and neck cool all night. There’s nothing better than knowing that your sleeping with a all natural pillow completely free of bad chemicals. My sleep is better and no more neck pain. Thanks for offering the public a really good product!!!!! 👍🏼

The Search is Over!
I have a closet full of pillows that I’ve purchased with the hopes that they would be perfect. I always ended up going back to my old pillow in short order – because I just couldn’t adjust to any of the new ones I bought. I heard about the Hullo pillow and thought I’d give it a try. The first night, the pillow didn’t make it all night (thinking to myself that it was going to end up in the closet with the other ones). I gave it a second try – and – it worked! I haven’t gone back – and – now worry what it’ll be like when I’m traveling (for work) and need to use a “regular” pillow again.
I sleep on my side/belly and always have an arm underneath the pillow. With regular pillows, the arm would often go numb. The Hullo pillow forms right around the arm and still keeps its shape on the top. Love it!

Worth It.
It took me a couple of weeks to get used to using the Hullo Buckwheat pillow. I bought the half-sized one. After two herniated discs in my life, sleeping improperly can be downright dangerous! While it took me some time to get used to sleeping on the pillow, I haven’t woken up with a sore neck since I started using it! I wish I had splurged on the full sized pillow though. Not a natural back-sleeper, when I sleep on my back I like to have my arms over my head, and this pillow is too small to allow that. For side sleeping though, it is wonderful! I’m extremely possessive of it, and I’ll definitely be taking it camping with me this summer!

The Best Pillow I’ve Ever Had
It’s amazing most pillows either fall off the bed or deflate over time but Hullo makes it enjoyable to sleep again. I personally punch the contents of the pillow when I feel anxious or need noise to fall asleep. I love every thing about this pillow.

Just OK
It is very heavy. It is in a ball every morning. Did not send it back but probably will not recommend to others.

Perfect for Neck Pain
After taking a few of the pellets out, this pillow is PERFECT! Yes, can be a little noisy when re-adjusting while sleeping, however, the noise is worth it! Thank you Hullo!

I Love This Pillow
I can not get enough of this pillow! I was interested in getting one after going through a few days of a bad neck cramp (caused by sleeping poorly on a standard pillow.) I instantly fell in love with my Hullo. This pillow is supportive and doesn’t smoosh down over time. It’s even comfy when I am sleeping on my side.
I have already recommended this pillow to two other people who have bought them, and I won’t stop raving about them. Thank you for giving me a great solution to my very cranky neck 🙂

Love My Pillows
I ordered the standard rectangular and the neck roll. Both of them perform as expected. The canvas covers are durable and there is ample hulls stuffed inside so you can take some out to set aside for later if you need to.

Took a While to Feel Normal
I did not fall in love with my Hullo on day 1, but I really do like it now. I had to remove at least half of the buckwheat hulls that it came with, it was much too full for my needs as a back sleeper (I prefer a relatively thin pillow). I like that it’s very adjustable – I prefer support right under my neck and most pillows don’t provide any so my head falls forward. Hullo is great because you can squish it/shape it just right and then it’s set. My only complaint is that re-adjusting it in the middle of the night can be kind of loud and sometimes wakes up my partner. The sound is similar to shifting around sand in a bag but a bit louder – it’s not unpleasant sounding, just louder than I expected.

Finally!
I have tried so many pillows and I FINALLY found a GREAT one! I searched for a pillow that would not “sink” when I slept, I tried so many and honestly I was about to give up. I found Hullo by searching for “firm pillows”, read the description and took a chance. So glad I did because this pillow is a dream!

Best Pillow I Have Ever Owned for My Creaky Neck
Out of desperation and after trying all these other kinds of so called neck pillows I ordered the Hullo pillow. I considered the cheaper buckwheat pillows but some reviews talked about “smells” and “bugs” and hey, I sure didn’t need that just to save a few bucks. Well, I sure made the right decision. I threw away the other neck pillows and I will never use anything but the Hullo pillow. It molds right to what I need, my neck doesn’t complain and yes, it smells just fine. It was delivered quickly and carefully packed. I have arthritis in my neck so this was exactly what I need. Always a Hullo for me.

I Can Finally Sleep Again
This pillow is amazing. After having kids and now carrying toddlers around all day, my back and neck feel so stiff and sore. I suspect I have arthritis in my upper spine and neck and it causes me so much pain. I used to use the Hullo and I loved it. We recently moved, and my Hullo pillow got packed and misplaced in the move. Since then my pain has been getting increasingly worse, to the point that I have insomnia oftentimes in the middle of the night and it is difficult to fall into a deep sleep. After finding and using this pillow again I can finally fall into a deep sleep and stay asleep. It is so supportive. I recommend bunching the Hullos into a supportive shape under your neck prior to falling asleep. This pillow is a life changer. I highly recommend! Also, I love that it is made in the US, organic and free of any of the toxic materials that are in most bedding.

Super Comfortable!
Love the firmness of this pillow, and the fact that I can have it take on any shape I wish based on how I want to sleep (side, back, etc).
Love the extra hulls they give you bc allows perfect customization of volume.

Closet Full of Unloved Pillows
I have consistently used one (foam with neck support) pillow since 1995. The maker of my old pillow is out of business now. I can not even count all the pillows I have tried until Hullo!
I have the king size Hullo pillow and after a few nights, finally threw out my pillow of 25 years with confidence that I had finally found the perfect fit. I have had this pillow for three months and love it.
The pillow is heavier than I expected but does not slide around on my bed. I am a side sleeper and the hulls allow me to flip from side to side without loss of support. I sometimes sleep with my arm under my pillow and have no alteration in comfort. The hulls allow you to customize the height of the pillow under your neck. They do produce a slight noise but I don’t even notice it anymore.
I wake up less during the night and have had significantly less neck pain. It is also cooler than others that I have tried.
Thank you Hullo from one very grateful Registered Nurse.

Hello Hullo, Goodbye Neck Pain!
I have had my pillow for about a month now and I am amazed at how much better I feel. My neck pain has reduced drastically since purchasing and my quality of sleep has vastly improved. I have spend hundreds of dollars on pillows and this is really the first one that I have enjoyed owning and have been compelled to review. This is not a plush pillow, this is a support device that helps you achieve a sound night’s sleep. The quality of the Hullo pillow is exceptional. I highly recommend.

Helpful for Relief
This is by far the best pillow I’ve ever had. I work on a computer for extended periods of time and it has done a number on my body (migraines, neck pain, etc) and my past pillows were adding to the pain. This pillow along with healthier habits (stretching, blue light blocking glasses, and acupuncture) have dramatically reduced my migraines and neck pain. Get the pillow *and* don’t stop there.

Keeps Its Support
Great pillow, very high quality materials throughout. If you need head support without your pillow going flat after a few months this is the pillow for you.
I’m a side sleeper and kept having side neck and shoulder pain so I switched to the Hullo. Definitely better support and has improved my posture while I sleep by preventing my head from craning downward into my shoulder.
Should’ve bought the larger size but I couldn’t justify it for a pillow at the time, which is ironic because of how much we sleep. Will buy the larger size when I can afford to, the smallest size works just fine and will use when traveling.
