Can a pillow cause pain? Yes, a pillow influences your sleeping position, and an improper sleeping position can cause strain and pain in your neck, back or shoulders. Conversely, choosing the right pillow can result in pain relief. Below are Hullo pillow reviews which mention pain.
This is the best pillow for my sore, achy neck! It is so comfortable and provides great support! I love how it molds to my head and neck in any position I lie. I take it with me when I travel because it helps me get a good night’s sleep.
I am a retired chiropractor. I would recommend Hullo pillow to anyone with neck pain!

With frequent neck pain associated with my chronic migraines, I was looking for a pillow that wouldn’t add to the pain and discomfort. I’m very glad that I gave this type of pillow a try as I have noticed a huge decrease in neck pain during the night and upon waking. This in turn has helped to decrease the intensity (and onset) of migraines I experience in the morning. I will always use this type of pillow from now on.

I’ve had problems for YEARS with my neck and this pillow is a game changer! Would Absolutely recommend!!

This is a great pillow. I don’t have any neckpain after using it, it stays the perfect temperature, and it’s moldable. It’s perfectly full for me.
The standard American size is a bit too big for a buckwheat pillow, imo – it’s extremely heavy and kind of unwieldy if you’re prone to sticking your arm under your pillow. Still works great though!

Reason 1: These are well-filled; the quality of construction is obvious.
Reason 2: Unlike foam pillows which are not adjustable, these are easy to position and be stably supported.
Reason 3: With basic care to clean the covers, these pillows last for many years with minimal loss of fill loft. ‘Guest room’ foam ones — from Lindell’s internet garbage, to high-end memory-foam mattress store sets – seem to break down and get flat-feeling quite quickly. We’ve tried ’em…
Partner and I have been using buckwheat hull pillows since I bought our first two at a big-box Linens store in Norwalk, CT back in the late 80’s. We were skeptical; back then a single pillow that cost $70. was a big chunk from our monthly income and we needed a pair!
We have been dedicated BHPusers now for more than 35 years. As we both have different cervical vertebrae issues, these are always our mainstay for comfortable nights and less-pain days.
We don’t take ’em on overnight travels (yet!) but they’re so good you’ll want to.
Hullo’s product is more substantial than another brand’s set purchased in 2013. If you’re looking for a buckwheat hull pillow, you won’t be disappointed with these! If I could give these 6 stars, I would.

I rarely wake up with stiff shoulders / neck in all the years I’ve used to type of pillow. It’s cooler, keeps it’s form until you change it and is excellent for helping me sleep better. I even took it to the hospital when I was in for 8 days because the ones provided were polyester filled and I couldn’t get comfortable; the fill kept sinking and caused me neck stiffness on the first night. Even tried memory foam types but they were very hot and not very pliable to move around the way the ones I made with these hulls are.
I’ve recommended this site to several people through the years and all have been converts to switching over from their usual type to the buckwheat hulls. These also last much longer so are cost effective versus replacing flattened other fill pillows.

Hesitated, thinking it would be too hard to be comfortable. Now, I’ll probably never use another kind of pillow. I’m a solid back sleeper and I don’t move much. My husband is an all over the place sleeper. We both have found some pains alleviated, since we transitioned. Also love that the pillow never loses its form and get all lumpy and sloppy looking. Best decision.

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.

I really, really like my hullo pillow. My sleep has improved exponentially since I started using it and my neck no longer hurts. Highly recommend.

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.

We purchased one from our daughter who did not like it. We loved it and ordered a second one. It’s probably not for everyone but we sleep so good. You should like a firm mattress/pillow in order for you to love it. No more neck/ shoulder pain.

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!

My husband and I have been using our Hullo pillows for about 9 years. We just bought more bulk buckwheat hulls to freshen up one of our pillows. These are the greatest pillows on the planet and I have tried them all. Totally worth the money for a good pain free night’s sleep. I will not use another pillow or another brand. Customers for life!!

Like most of the reviews tell you it takes a day or two to get used to it. It’s different but that is what makes them great. Less neck/back pain. Better deeper sleep.

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!

I suffered from awful neck pain for years due to a terrible pillows. From the first night after I started using a Hullo pillow, my pain has been gone. I really can’t overstate how this has improved my quality of life. I used to spend all day in pain, rubbing my neck and shoulders, rotating my whole body instead of turning my neck, and wincing whenever I moved my head quickly. All solved now. It takes a few nights to get used to it, and I needed to reduce the amount of hulls slightly to be a little more comfortable, but overall it is worth EVERY PENNY.

I got a buckwheat pillow for me and my partner. The pillow didn’t kill their snoring entirely, but snoring is down 90% at least. The sound has gone from a drowning water buffalo to the rumble of a old car in far in the distance. I can tune it out and sleep. For me, I don’t wake up with neck pain anymore, and I only have to sleep on one pillow. As an added bonus, my pillow is now so heavy that my kid can’t steal it off the bed for pillow forts.
It took a little getting used to, and the pillow had a faint smell at first, but as someone who gets migraines from strong smells I can attest that it wasn’t strong and didn’t smell bad. To me, it smelled like black tea, almost. I never in a million years would have thought that sleeping on what is essentially a sack of grain would improve my sleep so much, but it absolutely has.
You should absolutely get one, as long as you don’t intend to use it for pillow fights.

It’s hard and it hurts.
This is a a firm pillow that takes a few days to get used to. When it first arrived I was surprised by how heavy it was. It was also very firm to the point where I thought that there was no way I would like it. In the box is a paper that tells you how to use it (weird, it’s a pillow, I’ve been using a pillow my whole life). The card was right, fluff it up, lay your head on it, give it a few days to get used to it, definitely don’t use it with another pillow. This is a great pillow, but you need to give it a chance. I use to wake up with headaches or neck pain, especially if I used more than one pillow to try to get some support. In the few months I have had the Hullo, I have not woken up with pain, and I have slept great. Also, it stays cool. You don’t have to flip the pillow in the night. Buy one, try it, you’ll probably love it.

I have never been fussy about pillows, but in recent months, I started waking up with pronounced neck pain. I tried Hullo for several weeks and the pain has gone away. I love the way Hullo holds its shape, conforms to my head, and supports my neck. Very simple. Very effective.
I would recommend Hullo to a friend.
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.
I love this pillow. I was initially very hesitant because of the cost. I have been trying to find a pillow that will work for me for years. I am a side sleeper. Recently, I took up rock climbing which caused my upper body and neck to be sore frequently. This made a good night sleep for recovery imperative. My regular pillow was just not cutting it anymore. I was waking up in the morning with horrible neck and shoulder pain that was resulting in headaches. As soon as I switched to the Hullo pillow the pain subsided. It was a little different the first few nights, but I adjusted quickly. I have since tried my husband’s “regular” pillow and cannot stand it anymore. The Hullo conforms to my head and then supports my neck throughout the night. The “regular” pillow just goes flat and my neck is left sore. Very much worth the price. It is high quality and I forsee it lasting me a long time. Some people comment they do not like the smell. I actually find it quite pleasent. I would highly recommend this 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!

I’m very happy with my pillow! I no longer have to wake up if I want to change sleeping positions and find my other pillow to adjust from back sleeping to side sleeping. I just fluff my hullo and go right back to sleep.
I feel like I get more sleep now, and my shoulders, back, and neck don’t feel sore in the morning.
This is a great product and I’m truly grateful for its invention!
