105 Reviews Mentioning: adjustable

Hullo is an adjustable pillow in two ways: First, the zipper on the organic cotton case allows you to adjust the amount of buckwheat fill to suit your preference. Second, the buckwheat fill allows you to adjust the shape and thickness of the pillow. This adjustability helps position your body in the most comfortable and healthy position and keep it that way. Below are reviews mentioning adjustability.

Sleep Harder

I’m a back-and-side sleeper who doesn’t want to use two pillows. The hulls shift around nicely to accommodate both sleeping positions. I find that I sleep harder and deeper on the Hullo pillow than I ever did with other adjustable pillows or even my molded latex one. I also quite like the rustling sound of the hulls – it’s like relaxing white noise.

I would recommend Hullo to a friend.

My Neck Pain is Gone!

I had been dealing with neck pain every morning for about a year and was thinking I may need to find a new pillow. My old pillows offered very little support and I assumed I needed something that would provide more consistent support. My husband did a lot of research and then surprised me with a Hullo for my birthday, and it has completely eradicated my neck pain. I wake up refreshed every morning and have been telling everyone I know about this pillow! It doesn’t impact my allergies and I love that it can be easily adjusted to give me all the support I want.

Perfect for Me!

I love this! Previously I usually had a stiff neck upon waking up.  It hasn’t appeared again since I bought a Hullo. I recommend it.  I had to remove some hulls to get it where I wanted.

As Promised

As other reviewers have stated, my pillow felt hard when I first started using it, but after getting the proper amount of fill correct I can adjust it “on the fly” while I sleep and enjoy it very much.

Hullo is a fine company with a great product and “more” than fair policies. A refreshing change from most of todays marketing hoopla!

Keep up the good work and great service.

Love at First Night!

The First night I used my pillow I noticed a huge difference.  Before my hullo pillow I was waking up with horrible head, neck, and shoulder pain. No more! With my hullo pillow I am able to adjust it to how high or low I want it. It is soft but firm as well. The noise of the pillow does not bother me at all. In fact I find it rather comforting. The one downside I can think of with this pillow is that it is a bit heavy, but that is it! For people who are side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers I highly recommend!

Wonderful!

I love this pillow. It’s made a huge difference in my quality of sleep and in my neck pain. I love how adjustable it is. I removed a decent amount of the hulls to make it fit exactly how I needed it to. I will never use another pillow. High quality and wonderful results!

Give It Time…

After removing 10 or 12 cups of hulls and giving it a little time to get used to the swishing noise when you manipulate the pillow, I find it very comfortable.

It has made my transition to tolerating CPAP easier as the pillow is extremely moldable, yet supportive and doesn’t contribute to mask leaks or it being pulled off.

Top-Tier Pillow

The best neck support that I’ve found yet (and I’ve tried A LOT of pillows). The buckwheat fill makes the pillow endlessly adjustable, cool, and supportive. The materials are consistently high quality. Note that if you share a bed the gentle rustle of the buckwheat fill can rouse a very light sleeper.

Love my pillow. I removed a little of the fill as I’m very petite. Nice that you can customize to fit you. Recommend!

I Didn’t Think REM Sleep was Possible For Me Anymore!

After getting this pillow, I no longer have to take so much time readjusting myself to try to find the right neck support in the middle of the night. I don’t have to think so much about how to get comfortable, because this pillow seems to shape itself around you! I have the best sleep I’ve had since I was a teenager, and it feels effortless.

Basically as Advertised, Which is Good

I’ve had my buckwheat pillow for about 5 months now. You have to add or remove material a few times to get the balance right, but it’s worth it.

Things people complain about, but I don’t find bad:

Smell – detectable but not intrusive at all.
Noise – a bit annoying for major adjustments/the first of the night, but for minor adjustments or just while your heads on it, not bad at all.
Weight – definitely heavier than I expected, but I kind of like that.

Things people say are good, but I think aren’t perfect:

Shape holding – pretty good, but tossing/turning will change it minorly throughout the night.
Temperature – it’s not actively cool to the touch, but I think only once has it gotten “too warm” in 5 months.

I think those imperfect properties are probably inherent to a buckwheat pillow, and not a fault of Hullo in particular. I’m overall very satisfied with it.

Severe Neck Pain

Pillow is VERY firm. Given the volume of hulls, initial shape was too large and stiff. Even with content/fill adjustment, end result was the worst neck pain I’ve ever experienced. Stopped using after 1 month and multiple adjustments. Went back to C shaped gel/foam type pillow.

Heavy, but Adjustable

I love this pillow and recommend it for the eco-conscious.

I really disliked the thought that something I’d sleep on for a few years would end up in a landfill for 500 years. So I decided to try this.

It is heavy. This helps me keep it on my side of the bed, and thus keep my head on my side of the bed. (It was not uncommon for me to have my pillows *off* the bed.) However, moving the pillow or getting it in the pillow case can be a bit more work than you’re used to, as it is 13 pounds (5.8kg). You can adjust the weight by removing some or all of the hulls. If you live alone and have arthritis or other impairment, just know it might be a bit of an adjustment.

It is loud compared to other pillows, but it’s still quiet compared to everyday sounds. And, of course, it’s only noisy when you move.

There is a bit of firmness, but it’s also adjustable. I think it’s great as is.

While there is a premium price for this product, it is a quality product, and it’s the best pillow I’ve ever owned.

Perfect Night’s Sleep

I hated my Hullo pillow the first two nights I had it. Then I followed the instructions and took some of the hulls out to adjust the height and firmness and now it is perfect. Best pillow I ever had.

Very Adaptable Pillow

I love my Hullo pillow! I am pretty picky about pillows. I like a pillow that’s firm but also malleable. Memory foam pillows have never worked for me because I can’t easily change the shape as I shift sleeping positions over the course of a night. I love how easy it is to reshape this pillow. I needed to take about half the filling out of mine to personalize it for my comfort, but that was very easy to do. The case is well made. The whole pillow feels clean and comfortable. It even smells fresh and clean. I wish I’d bought one years ago.

Like the Pillow. Would have Preferred Less Hulls in the Pillow with Extra Hulls in a Separate Bag.

I like the buckwheat pillow very much. I would have preferred less hulls in the pillow with extra hulls in a separate bag, because at first I slept on the original pillow as shipped for the first three nights. This led to a mildly sore neck, due to the pillow being too high and firm for me. I then took out some hulls and stored them in a plastic bag. Then the pillow was OK for me. I understand that everyone is different, but it seems that it would be better if the pillow was shipped with less hulls inside and some extra ones in a separate bag for people to add if they want to.

Provides Needed Support

I am not a hard pillow type of person but this pillow provides much needed support while still being comfortable. I love that I can adjust it, as needed, around my shoulders.

Great Supportive Pillow

I replaced a +25 year old buckwheat pillow (not a Hullo) that had become rather flat.  The new Hullo is larger and nicely full.  I have tried many different pillows over the years and find the buckwheat pillows provide the right amount of adjustability whether side or back sleeping.  Other pillows have left me with a sore neck or back and frequent waking to adjust the pillow.  With the Hullo I can create a hollow for my head with the right amount of support under my neck to avoid the previous painful mornings.  Love it!

Adjustable Support

I am very happy with my buckwheat pillow. I am a back sleeper and appreciate being able to shape the pillow to support my neck.  I took out some of the buckwheat filling but will save it for possibly replacing. The only draw back to the pillow is the weight. I bought the full size pillow so that it matches other pillows on my bed and it is heavy but worth it for the comfort. I would recommend this pillow.

Glad I Finally Got Around to Trying It

I have heard about buckwheat pillows for years but had never tried one until now. Last night was the 4th night of sleeping with my new Hullo Buckwheat pillow. I really like it. It takes a little getting used to, but I know I’m falling asleep faster, tossing and turning much less, sleeping better, and I’m not waking up with the usual pain in my neck that I’ve had for a long time, so I think I’ve found my pillow for life. I can’t say that it is significantly cooler to sleep on than other so-called “cooling” pillows I’ve tried, but with the right pillow case on it it’s not as hot as some others I’ve tried. I removed some of the buckwheat hulls from it so that it isn’t quite as full as it was when it arrived and I think that made it even better.

Excellent After Quick Adjustment Period

At first, it was a strange and new feeling (and sound) rolling around on my new pillow at night. I was worried I wouldn’t get used to it and would find it distracting. This quickly passed. I am 100% committed and happy with my Hullo and I want to take it with me when I travel! Add or subtract the buckwheat filler until the pillow thickness is perfect for you; then, once you settle in for sleep, the pillow takes the shape you need and holds that shape. It is heavy, so when you are selecting your size, keep in mind that it’s not as easy to move as you might like (for example, when sliding toward my partner in the center of the bed vs when scooting off to give her some space). If you’re on the fence, just give it a try. I really do recommend this product.

Different but Better

After switching to a Hullo pillow earlier this year, I can’t imagine ever going back to a feather pillow again. I’m no longer woken up with a sore shoulder or having to get out of bed in the morning with a stiff neck. The filling makes these pillows super adjustable. It took a couple nights to get used to it but now my partner and I love these!

Wish I had Tried this Sooner!

Love my Hullo. Unlike any other pillow I’ve tried, I can shape it just to the right height and comfort, and then it STAYS PUT. My head doesn’t sink in gradually, and I finally can get the support I need as a side sleeper, and have it stay put all night. I wouldn’t recommend this for back sleepers, but for me it has been the pillow I have always needed but never had. I also love that the filling level can be adjusted, and that the filling contents are compostable if i ever need to replace them—so tired of all the plastic filled pillows.

Also, for anyone wondering about size, I got the small, and I’m super glad I did. It’s just the right size, and supports my head perfectly without having a lot of extra pillow sticking out everywhere. Standard size pillows would always get in the way of where i wanted to put my arms when side sleeping, but the small doesn’t have this problem. I also think the standard size would be harder to adjust and heavier to move around, but the small is perfect. Only downside is it is harder to find pillow cases for, but it fits pretty well sideways in a standard size pillow case with the empty half of the pillow case tucked under the pillow.

Took Time to Grow on Me, but this is the Best!

The hullo buckwheat pillow is very comfy. I had to remove some of the hulls but once a couple of weeks went by, I find the pillow very comfortable. It is solid and forms a concave shape based on your head position. This is the best pillow I have used.
