Are You Freaking Kidding Me?

This pillow is amazing. If you have any neck problems I highly recommend it. It takes a day to get used to the noise, but completely worth it.

Best Pillow…

The Hullo is the best pillow I have ever had.  Waking at night and in the morning with a sore neck and shoulders gets old real fast. I let a bit of hulls out for a softer pillow and it has been perfect!

You Had Me at Hullo

I have tried several different types of pillows in my lifetime because of various orthopedic problems and desperation for non narcotic pain and insomnia relief you name it i’ve probably tried it and as a child in the mid 90’s my occupational therapy suggested to my parents i try a buckwheat pillow and it was great no more insomnia no more pain etc.etc. the problem was as the years went by the hulls eventually as they do broke down/flatten etc and there was no way to replace the hulls the casing had no zipper so unfortunately and regrettably at the time we threw it away thinking we’ll just order a new one from the therapy catalogue we had no computers back then let alone a way to online shop come to find out the company we got the first one from went out of business so i reverted back to my foam pillow and various feather cotton and so on  fast forward to about 20 years later about a year ago i started having severe episodes of insomnia and pain again remembering the comfort and relief i had with my good ol’ buckwheat pillow and this being the 21st century i decided to see if i could buy one online and bingo came across an asian company that sells king size for about 40 bucks a piece vs hullo’s price and i thinking buckwheat pillows are all the same and could save a few bucks went with the cheaper brand BIG mistake the case was so thin and stitching weak but worst off was the pesticide fumes it gave off which gave me migraines every time i slept on it because it had to be fumigated prior to being imported to the u.s.a long story short you get what you pay for and if you want a high quality if not the highest quality buckwheat pillow made in the U.S.A get a hullo

say hello to hullo then goodnight lol

p.s. i just wish a few things like the prices could be just a little lower without lowering quality or you had the choice between buckwheat or millet hulls and you could buy just the case as a spare incase something happens to the other like if it ever needs to be washed etc

Great Company, Great Product!

I’ve had terrible neck pain for about 20 years.  I recently heard about the buckwheat pillow and was lucky to be able to try one at a high end hotel.  I really liked it so I bought the cheapest “travel size” I could find thinking I could also travel with it. Mistake.  Really uncomfortable.

I did a bunch of online research and liked the way Hullo presented so I ordered their standard size pillow.

Wow!  I slept great.  About a week or two later it seemed like the hulls were compressing a little too much and I needed more buckwheat hulls.  I emailed Hullo and asked to order more hulls.  They sent them to me FREE!  For many months now, my neck pain is just gone.  I will never sleep on another type of pillow again.

The pillow seems like it needs a few more hulls again so I’m buying some more.  I guess I really like it thick for side sleeping.  I always used to sleep on my arms and my pillow. Now my arms fall asleep so it’s better to have just the pillow and leave my arms by my side.

Love the support!  Love the company.

Absolutely YES!

Had been through a number of regular pillows and all gave me neck and upper back pains. Hubby got a hullo for me and I’ve had some of the best sleep (in years) since using it. No more pain in the morning. This one is a keeper (just like hubby!).

You owe it to yourself to try one.

Improved My Sleep

It took me a while to get used to the crunching, but I love it now. It really helps with neck and shoulder pain. Great investment for good sleep.

So Great!

Unlike any other pillow I’ve had, plus great customer service. I have a history of neck pain and am very picky about my pillows since one night with a bad pillow for me can mean multiple days of limited mobility in my neck. This pillow provides just the right amount of support (without being rigid) and comfort (without being crazy fluffy). It has a funny smell for the first few days but it wears off quickly.

Worth Every Penny!

I don’t usually write reviews, but am making an exception for this product.  I heard about the Hullo pillows on a podcast and thought my wife and I could give them a try since they have a very generous 60 day return policy.

Neither of us loved them immediately.  I liked it but they do seem noisy at first and they are so different from any pillow I had every used before.

My wife was harder to win over and, even though we are in our 50s, she was now on the hunt for the perfect pillow.  She did research, bought pillows online, bought pillows in stores, tried them out and ended up returning all of them.  None of them were better than the Hullo pillow!

We both love them now, have less neck pain, sleep comfortably and don’t notice the noise anymore (they either got quieter or we adjusted to the noise).

Anyway, we are both very happy with them and would highly recommend them.

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!

The Best

Yep, it’s the best pillow I ever used. I even wish there were a few more hulls in it so I could punch it up even more. I no longer have a sore neck in the morning! And I get hot at night–my ears turn bright red–and all I do when I awake is rotate the hullo and its coolness brings me back.

I should have ordered a king, but no worries–I’m happy with the next size.

Take a Chance

TLDR:  Amazing pillow. Don’t let the Buckwheat or price tag steer you away. Highly recommend.

So, if you’re here, you’re likely like me.  Maybe you cicked on an ad, maybe it showed up on a google search.

Regardless, I found myself here, looking at site.. thinking it just another pillow claiming to be the next cure for world hunger.  Buckwheat? that was a nickname of one of my grade school friends.

Eventually, I decided to try them, as their return policy was great and my current pillow had me up with a sore neck and headaches more often than not.

So, the pillow arrives. I try it out of the box. It wasn’t a good nights sleep at all, or the following 6 days.  It comes with a sheet suggesting to adjust the buckwheat levels, so I tried that over 2 more nights.. and magic happened.

4 months later, I can’t imagine using any other pillow. The headaches are gone. Switching from back sleep to side sleep is effortless.

It’s even gotten to the point of me taking my pillow with me when I travel, as any other pillow seems woefully inadequate.

So if you’ve read this far and are on the fence.. I can’t recommend that you try one enough.

No More Neck Pain

It took approximately one week to decide that I will never sleep on any other pillow.  I have degenerative disc disease, whiplash, arthritis and other diagnosis that I cannot spell. Sleeping on the hullo pillow has given me pain free days. The pillow is expensive but I would do without food to have the relief it has provided.

This is a sincere testimony from a chronic neck pain sufferer. I wish everyone with neck and shoulder pain had the opportunity to see if this pillow would help them.

Didn’t Realize How Much I’d Love This Pillow

I honestly wasn’t even looking for a new pillow when I stumbled across the Hullo.

However, I had been sleeping on a memory foam mattress and pillow and had been consistently waking up with a sore back. I thought that the mattress was the source of the problem but after reading some of the reviews for the Hullo, I figured it would be easier to try a new pillow as opposed to a mattress.

After just a couple of days, I noticed that my back pain in the morning was pretty much gone and has remained that way for the several months that I have been using the new pillow.

Even though it feels strange to be so enthusiastic about a pillow, I have found myself bringing it downstairs to show it to several people and have raved about how great it is.

I know some people mention that they have an issue with the noise the buckwheat makes, but this has never been a concern for me. In fact, after you get used to it, I think it is somewhat soothing.

I Had High Hopes

I sleep on my side and commonly wake up with arms numb and tingly. I tried the hullo and after a few months I have seen no difference from normal pillows.  The hullo is very heavy and I commonly wake up with a sore neck.

No More Pain

I used to have neck pain when I woke up in the morning. So annoying! But I’ve been using the Hullo for several months now, and I love it. With a flick of my hand, I can adjust how much filling is under my head; I push the buckwheat to be flatter or make a raised area under my neck. I had tried SO many kinds of pillows and none of them stopped the pain until I tried this. I don’t think it’s noisy at all–never bothered me one bit. (My spouse says he never hears it either.)

Love My Pih-dough

When my son was just learning to talk he loved his pillow. He didn’t have a special blanket, he had a special pillow which he called his pih-dough. It was cute then. But now, twenty years later I find I have a special pih-dough. I have tried many different kinds of pillows such as memory foam, down, special shapes and curves promising comfort and relief. None really worked for me.

Then I read about the Hullo Pillow on a trusted website. I felt I had nothing to lose in view of the generous trial period. I liked the pillow right away. But in the weeks I have been using it, I have learned how to shape it just right for great sleeping. No more neck aches. Lots of support. Cool comfort. Now I have a special pih-dough–I love it.

Thanks.

True Relief from Headaches!

I have suffered from years of tension headaches and restless sleep. My chiropractor said that with my overly tense neck muscles it was pertinent to get a new pillow. I tried the temperpedic pillows for a while which only exacerbated my symptoms. My neck was still too small to use these pillows. It wasn’t until I came across Hullo pillows that I’ve experienced relief!!! It was odd at first to get used to sleeping on a buckwheat hull pillow but it truly does what it says it does! Provides support all through the night, even when I want to change sleeping positions. The hulls can make noise as I move positions but it has never bothered me or my husband.

I take this pillow with me everywhere now when I travel and truly believe it’s made a big impact on the amount of headaches I experience. I would recommend this to anyone who’s struggled to find the right pillow. Give it a try, it can make all the difference.

Love My Hullo

Took a while to get used to the noise, and some fine tuning on the amount of fill, but my Hullo pillow is now my guarantee of a good sleep with no stiff neck or shoulders in the morning. I’m a back sleeper and Hullo lets me have neck/cervical support while still letting my head rest just slightly to the side to prevent snoring.

I bought the small size which sideways in a standard pillow case that I then fold in half. To adjust the softness I took out enough hulls that I filled a little pillow that works great as a lap pillow to prop my Kindle or iPad on when I read.

Better Sleep

I was waking up multiple times a night, having a hard time getting to sleep in the hot summer months, and had very sore shoulders. My wife and I bought a new mattress and Hullo pillows the same week. It took me five or six nights to get used to new pillow, but once I did, it made a huge difference. My neck and shoulders stopped aching. I started falling asleep faster because my head was not getting hot (these dissipate heat very well). And I started sleeping through the night, though that probably has as much to do with the new mattress as the the pillow.

Neck Saver

I’m a toss and turner. Before the Hullo I would wake up with a sore neck from a the pillow being too soft and flat or too tall and firm. With Hullo I can adjust it to find that comfort sweet spot. If it’s not right I’ll wake up and either flatten the pillow or “fluff” it up. I now toss and turn less and wake up feeling better.  And I love not needing to turn the pillow over to the cool side.

One side benefit I found. My kids and I like to have pillow fights. Which are not so good for keeping your pillows in shape. The Hullo doesn’t participate in the pillow fights, not because I don’t want to ruin my favorite and valuable pillow, it’s because the kids (their little) say it’s too heavy!

I’m Asleep, My Limbs Are Not

I’m a side sleeper, and my arm and shoulder would lose circulation and get the familiar “pins and needles” feeling. No more with the Hullo pillow.

As others have mentioned, it is loud when you move it around, but once you settle in it is fine. It seems to dissipate heat well too.

Goodbye, Neck Pain

My Hullo does just what I need a pillow to do: mold exactly to the position that comfortably supports my head and neck and then stay that way all night. Gone are the neck pains and muscle tension from sleeping on foam pillows.

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!

I Love My Hullo

This is the best pillow I have ever owned.  I have neck/back problems and this has alleviated most of these problems.

I no longer wake up with any pain and get a much better sleep.  The pillow stays cool throughout the night which reduces my tossing and turning.  It has also helped greatly with nighttime snoring 🙂
