Recovering Feather-Pillow-Addict Says YES
As far back as I can remember using a pillow at night, I’ve used a feather pillow. Pillows stuffed with the softest down have been my default, my go to. I haughtily looked down on pillows of any other type. This was even though I’d been growing more dissatisfied with my feather pillow’s tendency to wake me in the middle of the night because it’s lofty support had degraded and squished away through after a few hours.
Well, then I heard some ad-reads for the Hullo Pillow on The Talk Show podcast. I decided to give a buckwheat pillow a try. It seemed relatively risk-free.
The first week was difficult. I was so used to the soft, plushness of feather pillows: the buckwheat pillow felt like a slab of concrete in comparison.
But, then the second week hit. By then, my muscles were well adjusted. The pillow start to feel supportive rather than hard. I was a convert! This pillow is great.
This pillow excels at all-night-long support and good breathability. Unlike my feather pillows of the past, this pillow works with/for me, rather than against me.
What a fantastic pillow!

The Best Pillow I’ve Had–Very Versatile
I like a hard pillow. I don’t want to spend lots of $ to get one. After dealing with a chunky inconsistent pillow for too long I saw the Hullo pillow on a frequented website and said, what the heck, give it a shot.
The greatest think about the pillow is that I can adjust it anyway I want; harder, softer, build it up, sink it down. It’s not just a hard pillow—it’s a pillow to meet any need.
I’m quite happy with it.

American-Made Quality
I have been sleeping on my Hullo for about 3 months now and absolutely love it! First Impressions: Well made, different, and hard. I started out using my Hullo thinking this pillow may not be for me. However, I had a sore neck issue that wasn’t going away which is why I searched for, found and purchased my Hullo in the first place. Anyway, I stuck with it through the first couple weeks of getting use to the noise (which I don’t notice at all now and my wife never has) and learning what shape works best for me. I am a side sleeper and I find that if I fluff the pillow and then smash the middle down it gives my neck perfect support. Once it’s the shape I prefer, it stays that way for most of the night with the need for me to tweak it once or twice throughout the night.
I have spent thousands on every type of pillow out there and I am so grateful that I found Hullo and I love my buckwheat pillow! Thank you!

Love and Like
I love and like this pillow. It feels REALLY wonderful when I go to sleep, especially when I’m on my back. My only issue with it is that I start out the night feeling supported, but I will wake up on the edge of the pillow, my neck kind of crooked up to one side. All the buckwheat will have moved during the night and my neck is no longer supported. I haven’t taken any buckwheat out yet, maybe that will help? It’s better than soft pillows though, that’s for sure. My children keep stealing it from me!

Some May Like It
I thought it would be perfect for me who like thin pillow. I took almost half of the seeds to make it thinner, yet it still wasn’t great. The firmness is the issue for me. Really feels like laying on a firm surface and it does not forms along when you change position.
I understand it’s a very personal opinion. The one star is for the bogus marketing telling you can try the pillow at no cost except they forget to mention returning it is at you own expense and cost more than the pillow.

New Level of Comfort & Sleep
To be honest, when I first got the pillow, I thought it was weird and didn’t see what all the fuss was about. It took a week or two, but sure enough Hullo became the only pillow I enjoy sleeping on.
I sleep on both my side and back and I always used two soft pillows, often folding one of them in an attempt to get the support to hold my head and neck in the right position. With Hullo, I form the pillow to the perfect shape and thickness and it holds my head in the right position all night long. If I roll over or readjust in the night, its easy to shift the fill with my hands to adapt do different sleeping positions.
Now, floppy soft pillows just seem woefully inadequate and I sleep on Hullo every night. I even take it with me when I travel, because no other pillow comes close. Highly recommended!

Not for Me but Made it Work
The feel of the Hullo at the start of the night was great, but I’m a restless sleeper, and movement would shift the hulls around during the night so I had to constantly rearrange the fill, which didn’t help me get back to sleep. I also would wake up with pain in the ear and the side of my head that was on the pillow, so it’s not soft enough for me. However, I distributed the hulls into a couple of zippered travel/neck pillow cases, so now I use those as bolsters for stretching and helping with waking positions.

Great Firm Pillow
I wanted something firm for neck support that wouldn’t go flat overnight and over time. Hullo has that covered no problem! No neck pain since I got it!

My Hullo to Better Sleep
I have tried down, memory foam, and synthetic down pillows, but none compare to my Hullo. I sleep on my side and back and I love how this will confirm but still be supportive. You adjust the firmness desired. I also appreciate that is does not get hot causing sweaty neck as I had with memory foam pillow and yet it stays supportive unlike my down pillows. I get the best sleep.
You do need to get used to the noise of shells moving but now I do not notice and my husband never noticed. There is no funny smell like the memory foam pillow.
Being able to take shells out of case and air out in a box when I wash the cases is nice and eco friendly.
Thank you

I Love My Pillow
I’ve owed a tiny one for years and would have to put it on top of a slim polyester one and scrunch it up. I had a broken neck so every night is a challenge to get comfortable. I ordered the full size one and I LOVE it. It might take a night or two to get used to the fact that its not supper soft. But I love the fact its cool AND pretty much stays in the shape you scrunch it too or wiggle your head in it ! Im considering ordering one to ship out of state to my kids for when I go visit.

Sweet Relief :)
I have quite a bit of neck pain, and I have tried every pillow under the sun–soft, medium, hard, memory foam (contoured and non contoured), down, feather, you name it…I’ve tried it. I visited my Aunt who told me about the Hullo, and let me use for the duration of my stay. It does feel different than any other pillow that I have used, but it has the support that every other pillow cannot provide. You can make it as contoured or flat as you need it to be, and it doesn’t hold heat. So nice. My other half kept taking mine, so I had to get another so I didn’t lose my favorite find!

Made in USA Product
I heard about Hullo researching made in USA products online.
I love the firm support – my neck has felt a lot better since I started sleeping with this pillow. My partner had to adjust his to find the perfect comfort, but he too, is a convert. He tried sleeping on his old pillow a couple of nights and immediately went back to the Hullo.
I think it is pretty fabulous. The price was more than I wanted to pay, but I understand the cost of producing Made in USA products, and thus think you price is actually quite fair! I see that different sizes have been offered since I ordered, but I still would have chosen the standard size.

My First Buckwheat Pillow
Firmness. Support. Weight. Cooling. These are reasons why I like Hullo. It can be improved by adding a thicker cover that dampens noise.

Restful Sleep
I like that Hullo is firm and offers support. I feel as if I’m not as restless while sleeping. The price is a bit high. It’s difficult to recommend a $79 pillow.

Perfect for Back Sleepers and Side Sleepers
Very firm, perfect for back sleepers and side sleepers. Not as good for stomach sleepers, but I used to be one and now I have sort of transitioned to being a side/back guy which I’m ok with. Also, it’s great for naps because I usually always take those on my back (weird right?)
