Compare a Millet hull pillow vs. buckwheat.
Like buckwheat hulls, millet hulls are the outer part of a grain. Buckwheat hulls are triangular and stay put better than millet hulls. Therefore they’re great for sitting cushions and back supports – NOT sleeping pillows! Millet hull pillows are much softer vs. buckwheat and more comfortable for sleeping. Your face is sensitive and accordingly needs softness! My organic pillows are soft yet firm at the same time and don’t make crunchy noises like buckwheat! For most people and me, buckwheat hulls are much too HARD and crunchy. Also, buckwheat hulls hurt my ears! The best buckwheat pillow is full of millet instead! Millet hull pillows vs. buckwheat are a fantastic buckwheat pillow alternative! Read more here!
Best Pillow for Side Sleepers, Back, Belly or Combination Sleeping.
If you are a side sleeper you need a pillow that supports your head, neck and shoulders well so that you don’t get shoulder or neck pain. This is exactly what millet pillows do. You can fold my pillows to get them to any desired height so they’re perfect for your body. If you are a back, belly or combination sleeper, you can adjust the amount of millet hulls to be just right for yourself. The size of my millet hull pillows makes them versatile and able to be adjusted to any person’s comfort.
A millet pillow won’t out-gas chemicals like memory foam!
Unlike foam and memory foam, millet hull pillows are safe, natural fiber & non-toxic. From Wikipedia: “Memory foam consists mainly of polyurethane as well as additional chemicals increasing its viscosity and density. The HAP emissions associated with polyurethane foam production include methylene chloride, toluene diisocyanate, and others. Read more about toxic memory foam chemicals HERE. The effects of chronic (long-term) exposure to methylene chloride in humans involve the central nervous system. These include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and memory loss. Animal studies indicate that inhalation of methylene chloride affects the liver, kidney, and cardiovascular system.”
Comparatively, there is no outgassing of chemicals! Moreover, I sleep on one every night! Love it! Be sure to see my millet pillow review on this page!
Different Styles and Brands.
There are so many different organic pillows from Kapuk, to Hullo, Neck Ease, Japanese bead, lavender, horsehair, wool and more. I have compared all of these to mine. You will not find a better quality organic pillow for sale anywhere. After you’ve tried them all, you’ll come back to Brett’s Natural Health! See my comparison of different brands at the top of this page.
Millet vs Millet Hulls.
See my frequently asked questions for millet vs. millet hulls. The non-edible part of the grain is the hull; therefore, removing it is required but discarding the shell is wasteful! So, why not use the hulls for pillows? Millet hulls are the ultimate natural support mechanism because they are circular in shape and easily mold to become the most comfortable sleeping support you’ve ever had! Learn more here.
Millet hull pillows are therapeutic!
For back sleepers, my taller pillows can lay down almost flat. Millet pillows can also sit up as high as 12 inches to support side sleepers! For functionality, my they’re WIDER than standard support. Therefore they can stand up and support the head, neck, and shoulders better! This makes my natural pillows very therapeutic. I have experienced tonified neck muscles from sleeping on these therapeutic pillows. The healing qualities of my organic pillows are incredible! Everyone should slumber on one of them!
Many reasons to buy my natural pillows.
If you like buckwheat pillows, you’ll love an organic millet hull pillow! You’ll prefer the softer feel vs. Buckwheat! Try mine and then you’ll give your buckwheat pillow to someone else!
You’ll really LOVE the cotton inner pillow material because it’s thick, yet flowing, soft and super durable. I use a 7oz organic cotton twill to make the inner pillow. I think it’s a better alternative than thin cotton for the inner zippered case.
Why not do it right? Being made with 100% organic fabrics makes my pillows the best! I buy all my materials from Organic Cotton Plus. I believe that they have the very best organic cotton you can buy. Also, my pillowcases are available in fantastic colors – solids and prints.
Durability: Additionally, these pillows are more durable than other sleeping pillows. They last from 5-8 years! Comparatively, the quality is high, and the feel is soft. These are the best organic millet pillows available anywhere at any price!

Millet Pillow Allergy?
Probably not! Few people are allergic to millet hulls. Millet is a non-glutinous grain and has a very low probability of you having an allergic reaction to it. Additionally, the dust that comes off the millet hulls is kept safely inside the pillow and case. Sure, in the beginning, a millet pillow can have a grainy smell to it but it’s certainly not as strong as a spelt pillow which does have gluten.
Do Millet Pillows Smell Bad?
Millet hulls have a mild grainy smell when they are first harvested. That smell is diminished when they are inside two layers of material. Also, the smell quickly goes away and is usually not even noticeable after a few weeks. Seldom do people ever complain about the smell of millet hulls. If you like natural things, you don’t worry about natural smells anyway! It’s the chemical smells to be worried about if you care about your health!
Better than a DIY organic millet pillow?
Yes and the answer is simple! I know how to make a super high quality pillow at a price that cannot be beat! If you were to buy all the same quality materials (including the bulk millet hulls) it just wouldn’t be worth it to do it yourself! Why not let me make a GREAT one for you? You’ll love it!
100% Organic hulls!
I buy only pesticide free organic, de-dusted millet hulls grown in the midwest. They are consistently very high quality. I consider myself blessed to have such an excellent supplier! (People are eating more gluten-free foods all the time, but the demand is still not there. As a result, quality millet hulls are not so easy to find, but I have a great supplier!)

This is the most comfortable & supportive pillow I’ve ever slept one! Before I received my millet hull pillow I would wake up with neck pain every day and honestly dread going to sleep because I knew I would be uncomfortable. I tried several different other pillows but each one felt unsupportive. Once I received my millet hull pillow, it took a couple nights for me to figure out how I needed to mold my pillow so it supported me properly while I slept. Now, I no longer wake up with neck pain every morning. This pillow is very soft and I love that it’s made with all organic materials. It really feels like I’ve made a good decision for my health. I highly recommend this pillow to anyone who struggles with neck pain or headaches. Thank you Brett for making such an awesome product! The craftsmanship is incredible and it’s clear that you’re truly passionate about the work you do. I will definitely be buying from you again whenever I need any more pillows.

It’s amazing all the modern inventions that are making us sick! Foam Abby! Now you know how it makes your muscles sore by pushing back at them with pressure! What about couches! Chairs!? Same thing! Thank you for writing this nice comment! Keep on getting back to the natural things! Yahoo!
Mars Crain –
First off, I love my pillow so much! Before I purchased the pillow I had trouble sleeping the whole night. I would wake up with headaches in the middle of the night around 2-3am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I purchased one of those curved memory foam pillows I saw on Tiktok. It was okay for about 3 weeks and then it seemed to just get too soft and the headaches came back again. One night around 134am I woke up with another headache. Couldn’t go back to sleep so I stayed up watching YouTube videos and somehow, I came across Brett’s videos talking about his pillows. I believed I watched 6 of his videos and then decided to go to his website. Then looked at other similar pillows online , but Brett’s pillows appealed to me more being that they are handmade and made with so much care. So I decided to place an order.. when my package finally arrived I was soo excited and noticed how Brett hand wrote my name on the box and and kept my fingers crossed super tight in hopes I was going to love the pillow. Being that I’m 6’8 300lbs I purchased the Xlarge pillow and folded it as instructed by Brett in his video(side sleeper) when my wife Honesty saw the pillow she was skeptical and curious at the same time. She started teasing how silly the pillow seemed, but I told her to try it. So she did and instantly loved it. She loved how it cradled her head and she loved how it smelled. She got so comfortable on it that she didn’t want to give it back to me. It made me very happy that she loved the pillow. My wife has been having bad neck pain and headaches so I decided to purchase her a pillow of her own. She’s had no more headaches and has be sleeping a lot better. Brett, your pillows are amazing I’m so happy I found your videos. Thank you Brett.
Brett –
Thank you for this totally cool review Mars. Sometimes I think about all the heads that are sleeping on my pillows at night! Thousands of happy heads and necks! Yahoo! I’m making a pillow right now. Glad your wife loves it! Tell her to never make fun of my pillows again! lol Sleep well bro and remember to do self massage for pain and avoid medical doctors! (Idiots!) Watch my other Youtube channel. Vitality Massage. Have a great day. Brett
Samuel G. –
I bought my millet hull pillow from Brett back in February of this year and now feel ready to share my thoughts. I had a memory foam pillow that I had enjoyed for many years prior to this, but it was needing constant fluffing (making it either too poofy or not supportive enough most nights) and got hot some nights. I was ready for something different. I was unsure at first, but I didn’t have to suffer any sleepless nights to adjust to my Millet hull pillow, even though it took a bit to find the right amount of millet hull filler for me. Now that I have that right, I refuse to sleep on any other pillow. It molds to my head and doesn’t feel like it is “pushing back” on me. The square format instead of the rectangular pillows offered through other sources has allowed me to shift the filling to where I want it, and with enough inside, I haven’t had to wake up to readjust in the middle of the night; it stays in place pretty well. All in all, I’m happy I chose to purchase from Brett, who has been very responsive to emails and who has made a quality product. I plan to buy another one for my girlfriend soon, as she really enjoyed mine when she tried it recently.

This is a high quality millet pillow, that is fully adjustable to your needs. It is a great alternative to using synthetic materials and is a nightly reminder that you are making a healthy choice for your body.
Brett –
Thanks so much for your review L! Sleep well. zzzzz
Anna Valencia –
Excellent pillows. We love how they feel and how comfortable they are.
We give them as gifts and my family love them too.
It’s the best pillow for my back, neck and legs.
Love it!!!
Brett –
Thank you for making two reviews Anna. I appreciate you so much and I’m glad you like the pillows!
Anna Valencia –
We have been using millet hull pillows for years; all sizes, and we love them.
They are comfortable, mold to your body, feel soft and we cannot sleep without them.
We have given them as gifts and our family members love them too. It does wonders for my back.
Please keep making such an excellent product.
Brett –
Natural things are the best Anna. Our bodies evolved on them. Thanks for this nice comment. I’m so glad you are benefiting from the pillows!
TJ –
This is the pillow I’ve been looking for for years. It’s well made, environmentally friendly, and molds perfectly to my head no matter what position it’s in. I’m a chronic side sleeper and have never felt so much relief as I have sleeping with this pillow. The packaging and customer service are exceptional, as well as the quality. I can’t see myself using any other pillow ever again. I’ve already recommended it to multiple friends and will continue to do so. I’m absolutely satisfied with this purchase!
Brett –
Thank you for this review TJ! I’m so glad you finally got a good pillow. Yes, I hope to keep making them for a long time so if you need more for friends and family, send em my way. Have a nice night!
Jenn –
I bought mine a few years back! I tend to cycle pillows. But I still use my Millet pillow in the cycle! I prefer more supportive and firm pillows. The millet pillow is great for that! AND I can fold and adjust it if my neck needs more support or has been bothering me. If you are a fussy pillow person, like me, then millet pillow is useful and flexible for your needs. You can also pair it with a thinner pillow for extra support too. So it’s a good pillow to have! I did end up putting a bit more of the extra millet in my pillow. So thanks for that, Brett!
Brett –
You’re welcome Jenn and thanks for the review!
Simon –
My upper back isn’t tight anymore after switching to this pillow. I’m a side sleeper and this is perfect! This is my go to pillow and would recommend to anyone. This is as high quality or even more than the other companies selling organic made pillows. Great price, great value, and great person. 🙂
Brett –
Thanks Simon for this nice review! Sending hugs!
Nikki Gibson –
I have bought several millet hull pillows and bolsters from Brett and *Love* them.
I bring 2 with me when I travel and I recommend them to my clientele.
These pillows take some time to get used to, but once you have them exactly right for your body, there is no going back to a traditional pillow.
Brett’s craftsmanship is outstanding.
But a small one to start if you’re on the fence. It’ll be money well spent.
Thanks Brett!
Brett –
Thanks Nikki for the review! I would say that most people don’t take more than a few days to get used to millet pillows. Some take a few weeks. As for my abilities, I just keep getting better and better at making these. Also, now the thread is all organic as well as the material. Sleep well!
Jennifer Luna –
I purchased pillows for my husband and I. I love that we got to choose a specific size for our height. I’m short, so regular pillows hurt. Brett’s pillow was perfect for my height. My husband loves his pillow. No adjustment period needed. He loves the way it feels, the way it smells, and the way it supports in all the right places. It did take me about a week to adjust. But that’s normal for me. I read Brett’s instructions and notes about it. But now, I look forward to sleeping. I wake up with no more neck pain. The pillow itself is extremely high quality. I’m allergic to almost everything, and I’m glad that Brett uses natural and organic materials. I also love that Brett sent me notes during the shipping process. Very professional. He even tells you where to cut on the package so that you don’t cut the pillows by accident. My husband loved the notes on sleeping positions. He’s been implementing those, and it’s been helping him. I can’t wait to get body pillows for us next!
Brett –
Thank you for this well written and thoughtful review Jennifer. I make these because I know how much people love them. Natural things are the best! I hope you will consider my massage tools too. If you do buy some, you have to use them. They take a lot of work as does the self massage. It’s worth it though. It’s your health! Have a nice night and yes, I’d be happy to make some bodypillows for you.

Tyler Brittain –
Brett, I can’t believe that I’ve lived 34 years without this pillow. I used to use THREE pillows just to be comfortable and I’d still toss and turn all night. After barely a week of using my new millet hull pillow I can see drastic improvement in the quality of my sleep. Thank you so so much for what you do. I appreciate it more every day! I will do my best to spread the word!
Brett –
This is awesome news Tyler! I’m glad your body is doing better now. Keep adding more natural things! Be sure to download the new free product! It’s the most valuable thing I can give you!
Charisse Nebrida –
After receiving my initial order of pillow, and being so thrilled with how well it helped me, I ordered one for my husband, one for my son, and a travel pillow. Not surprisingly, both my husband and son couldn’t thank me enough! They both appreciated not having neck pains, the pillows are moldable, lighter than the buckwheat pillows, the pillow cases are soft and comfortable next to the face, and suffice it to say, great sleep aids! Thank you Brett for making wonderful pillows, beautiful ones too!
Brett –
Thank you for this nice review Charisse! I really appreciate you. Natural things are the best and it’s so important to slow down and enjoy them. I am taking it easy today and I hope you are doing the same.

Sebastian –
Im excited to get to bed!
I used to wake up with pain on the right side of my neck. A combination of crappy pillows and tech neck (forward head tilt). I’d get so fed up in the middle of the night, I’d just shove my pillows to the side and lay flat.
So after extensive research and sheer determination to stop the pain – I came across millet hull filled pillows. Watched one of Brett’s youtube vids and pulled the trigger.
But I made a big mistake…
I only bought one!
Been sleeping on it the last few days and have zero neck pain. It’s weird. Usually I’d wake up with a stiff neck.
But now? My neck feels limber. I dont have to spin my head around to release tension and tightness after waking up.
And the pillow itself? Plush. Uniquely satisfying. It’s like if a bag of sand and memory foam had a baby, but unlike memory foam this pillow is natural, malleable, & doesn’t pass gas.
Applying pressure anywhere on the pillow feels like a dream. The organic cotton cover is luxuriously comforting. The pillow feels… therapeutic. As if touching it releases dopamine. I couldn’t help but snuggle the pillow against my body for several minutes after unboxing. (a pleasant experience itself)
And even against body heat the pillow stays super cool to the touch.
Whenever I switch sleeping positions, the pillow adapts. If I roll to the side I simply fold the pillow once into a nice log style support pillow.
For back sleeping I pat the pillow flat a few times to level it evenly. The pillow contours to my head nicely and supports a neutral spine position.
Stomach sleepers are spoiled here. You get full support without smashing your face. No pain or discomfort from smushed ears and nostrils.
But the real kicker?
The one thing I haven’t seen anyone mention?
The scent! The thick organic cotton cover smells DIVINE. Intoxicating almost. It makes sleeping on your side and stomach blissful.
The pillow is luxurious and I’m obsessed. I’ve even been using it as a lap pillow. The weight of the pillow feels great on your legs!
I’ll be replacing all of my pillows with Brett’s millet hull pillows. Thank you for your exceptional craftsmanship Brett!
Brett –
Wow Sebastian! I’m glad you like the pillow and you are such a good writer! So descriptive and interesting. I like the part about how “a bag of sand and memory foam had a baby.” Yes, I’d be happy to make more pillows for you. Sleep well brother.
Brett
Charisse Nebrida –
I received my millet pillow and I was very impressed by the care that Brett did in shipping the pillow, with hand written instructions on how to open the box, and “Life is a gift” hand painted stone enclosed. I had been sleeping on a sabukawa pillow for the last month since that was what works on my wedge pillow, but it was hard and uncomfortable. I happened to watch Brett’s you tube channel and the pillow is amazing! Totally hand made and the quality is superior! It’s soft, moldable, and the cover is so soft and just hugs my face, I can shape it to whatever is comfortable in my constant shifting of side and back sleeping. I couldn’t keep this amazing comfort to myself so I also ordered one for my husband and my son, and a travel pillow too! thank you Brett, for doing this!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you for writing such a nice review Charisse! And thanks for the new order. It will be just as nice as the last one. Enjoy!
Mary Klein –
Way to go, Brett! My brother and his wife are now fighting over who gets to use the millet pillow at night. Actually, I’m sending them the link so they can order another one. My sister thought the millet pillow I ordered for her would be too small and she would be bothered by the smell, but after using it for awhile, she really likes it. She’s able to snuggle it perfectly between her head and shoulder when side sleeping. Other pillows are not soft enough for her head, as she has had chemo and radiation.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you Mary! So glad they like the pillow!
Chris Noland –
Love the pillow. I got it as a gift for my wife but I’m definitely getting another for myself. If you like the qualities of a buckwheat pillow; this has it but is much softer and much quieter.

Thank you Chris for this nice review.

I am a side sleeper who uses a CPAP. This pillow is so comfortable and I’m finally getting a good nights sleep! I love how you can adjust it to naturally fit your sleeping position. I will not go back to a regular pillow.
Jo –
I wrote a review earlier, but wanted to add this in case it’s helpful to anyone:
I sleep on my side and used to wake up with creases on my face from my pillow. I tried a bunch of different ideas to prevent it, but nothing helped. I don’t know why, but with these millet pillows, the creases do not happen. They really are the best!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
That’s great Jo! In the morning people won’t look at you funny anymore!
Lwhite1963 –
I really love the millet pillow. My neck and shoulders use to ache so bad.
I am free from pain and will be buying more pillows. A body pillow etc… the way we sleep is extremely important.
It made a world of difference for me.
My head feels now because I’m not resting it on chemicals. Bret’s pillows are all natural.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you Linda for this nice review! I’m glad you are sleeping better! Natural is always best!
Kat Cassidy –
I’ve been wanting to get a millet hull pillow for years from Brett. I finally did it I bought one last April! After having used the pillow for just a month I noticed a difference in my neck pain and stiffness in the morning It had all but disappeared. My chiropractor is now the one who is wondering where I am! I can’t say enough about this great pillow and the quality workmanship and the natural materials used It is a dream come true! I have recommended and just sung absolute praise about these beautiful pillows to everybody I know who has neck pain. I’m truly sorry it took me so long to leave a review but here it is “The best pillow in the freaking world is on my bed right now!”
Thanks Brett thanks for your beautiful work keep going keep it positive keep smiling!

Cameron Andres Osorio –
I wanted to wait quite a while before leaving a review.
This pillow is fantastic! I had a coop homegoods standard and body pillow that I loved, but they went flat after a year and sadly they’re 100% plastic. I had to throw them out for a different reason.
I decided my next pillow has to be made of natural/environmentally friendly materials and my search lead me to these! They conform amazingly and don’t push against my face like other pillows. I actually love the grainy smell too, but it does fade rather quickly. Also thank you for having a black color option! So many brands just don’t do black.
I’m sad to see body pillows are still out of stock! I understand of course and as soon as they become available I’m picking one up!
Thank you for such an amazing product!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you Cameron for this awesome review! To be honest, I hate sewing black but I know people will always want it. lol. Thanks for buying the pillows! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Antonio –
Before I even talk about the pillow itself I just want to say that the package itself was enough to lift my spirits. Love the use of natural items and the personalization made me feel like this package was meant specifically for me rather than someone just throwing items in a box and sending them any which way. Upon opening the box everything was so perfectly packaged and I love the extra pamphlets included as well.
I’ve been using this pillow for about a month now and it is by FAR the most superior pillow I’ve ever used. On just the first night of using it I slept better and more comfortably than I have in a very long time. As someone who tends to move around a lot both before and during sleep I love how this pillow can take any shape to match any position. After a month of use I noticed that I no longer wake up with neck and back pains and I generally have more peaceful sleep cycles. Beautiful craftsmanship and design on the pillow itself as well.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
I love when I get another one of these reviews Antonio. It’s like a collection! So, I’ve been out of millet hulls for several weeks and I’m finally getting them back in soon. I took a bit of time “off” to think about my life and such. It’s all good. Reflection. This review is perfect for me today. Thank you! Have a great day!
Nick –
I’ve had this millet hull pillow for just over a month now. This is the best pillow I’ve used in over 40 years! I no longer have any neck pain, I feel well rested and can’t wait to start my day. This might just be one of my best investments ever!
Pillow is well built, quality materials, well stitched, thing is built to last!
Thanks Brett for a great pillow!

This is GREAT to hear Nick. Thanks for taking the time to write this review! It would be awesome if you’d tell people about my pillows too. Thank you!
Fred R –
So, a friend from work recommended a Millet pillow for my wife, cause she hated her pillow.. so I sent her the site, and she wasn’t sure for herself..
My friend at work spoke so highly of the pillow it stuck in my head..
Months later, I started to hate my pillow as it started to stay flat, after sleeping on it..
I decided to try a millet pillow myself..
I too, have it a few months to make sure I liked it.
I have to say, this is gotta be the best pillow I have ever had..
AND IM NOT just saying that!
I love my sleep, I want at least 8hrs a night!
I would get a good night sleep and on occasion get into a sleep where I would dream!
Now since getting the Millet pillow, I get into a sleep almost every night where I Dream!
I have a sleep number bed, which tracks my sleep cycle!
and my sleep score, PRIOR to the millet pillow was between 40-60
My sleep score now, since getting the millet pillow has been in the 80s-90’s
I love supporting small businesses, but even more so love it, when they make such a great, hand crafted product, that is made with care, and quality!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thanks very much Fred. Sleep well brother.

I gave myself some time to make sure I made the right decision by choosing a millet pillow. When I first started researching, I stumbled on several brands selling their own versions of millet or buckwheat pillows. After doing some research, I decided I wanted a millet pillow. I stumbled on Brett’s website. I was a bit hesitant at first, but being a small business owner myself, I always prefer to support other small businesses and artisans. I ordered the large 19″ x 20″ with a natural cover. The standard of quality, fit, and finish is exceptional. It is extremely well-made, and one can tell that it was made with love. The first night was a big adjustment for me. I was aware that I had to remove some of the hulls, as the pillow was too firm for my taste. I ended up scooping several cups, which made all the difference in the world. Ever since, I have totally adjusted to the pillow and will never go back to anything else. It does run a tiny bit hot for the first 5–10 minutes, but it dissipates and never becomes an issue during the night. Overall, my experience with Brett has been stellar.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thanks for this nice review! I’m glad you like the pillow!
Conway –
Wow, the millet pillow is amazing. I’m glad I took my friend’s suggestion and tried it. Unlike the expensive memory foam pillows I’ve been experimenting with, the millet never gets hot and never loses its shape over the course of the night. I’m sleeping so much better and recovering from a long chronic illness exacerbated by poor sleep. Thanks!!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thanks so much Kanwei. Sleep well tonight!

Hi, Brett.
THANK YOU. Before I found your millet hull pillow I had reached the dark and frightening state of questioning whether I could continue to do the work I love… or anything else, for that matter. Sleep deprivation and constant pain had robbed me of my energy, and my hopes and dreams were starting to go with it.
I realize this sounds melodramatic, so I’ll share a bit of background for context.
* * *
I live with a hypermobility disorder, so sleeping is a challenge for me… it can even be a “dangerous activity”, as my joints sublux easily. In my 20s I discovered that I have congenitally fused vertebrae in my neck, too – C3 and C4 are fused on the right side only. Add this anomaly to a hypermobile spine and things can get pretty tricky.
My muscles are quite strong from a lifetime of physically demanding work (as counterintuitive as that might sound for a woman with my skeleton), but my joints and connective tissue are not. During waking hours, my strong muscles go a long way protecting my joints from the damaging repetitive micro-injuries of hypermobility. When I’m asleep, however, all bets are off.
Over the last decade or so I found some relief with buckwheat hull pillows. Unfortunately, as the years took their toll on my neck, the buckwheat hulls stopped working for me. I could no longer tolerate straining my neck against the resistance of those irregularly-shaped hulls as I struggled to conform the pillow throughout the night.
Now that I’m in my mid-40s, I must rise to the challenge of properly supporting my body if I wish to continue actively living in it.
* * *
The improvement of millet hulls over buckwheat is game-changing! I’m still experimenting to find the right fullness for keeping my pillow folded while I sleep on my side, but my neck already thanks me every night – and my brain thanks me for the sleep every morning! This pillow has spoiled me so that I now feel I can’t live without more of them for the rest of my body! I am looking at purchasing 2 of your knee bolsters next.
… Jessy

Finally, the search is over! I’ve been sleeping with this pillow for about 2 weeks now, and can confidently say it is the most comfortable pillow I’ve ever had! I have to admit I was pretty skeptical and didn’t let my hopes get too high, but I’m so glad I went for it. It was totally worth it! I’ve tried so many different types of pillows over the years, and they’ve all let me down. As someone with significant chronic pain and sensory issues, I am extremely picky and needed something that wouldn’t contribute to those problems. After watching some reviews on Youtube about buckwheat pillows, I happened upon Brett’s videos about his millet hull options, and I was so intrigued. Well, it didn’t disappoint! The first time I gave it a try, I sighed and said to myself “Ahhh, finally! This is what I’ve been searching for all these years!”. I love the way it so comfortably molds around my head and neck, and how I can shape it just right so I can sleep on my side but not have my face get smashed. It keeps its shape, and doesn’t mash down like other pillows do. I love knowing it is all organic material, with no toxic nastiness! I even love the very subtle smell of the millet, there’s something kinda comforting about it. You can tell Brett is very passionate about what he does, and his care and attention to detail is top notch. Even the packaging was phenomenal! Thank you so much for a fantastic product, I actually look forward to sleeping now.

Excellent pillow!
Took me a day or 2 to get used to the extra support. Now I prefer it over regular feather/foam/polyester type pillows.
And wife says I snore less with the millet pillow which makes her happier.

Love, love, love Brett’s millet pillows!! A month ago I ordered the XL Adult Millet Pillow and the Knee & Leg Bolster. I’m a side sleeper and sleep with my arm under my pillow. I was waking up with terrible neck and shoulder pain. Some mornings, the shoulder pain was so severe that I had difficulty gripping simple things like a cup. Researching causes of the pain lead me to shopping for a new pillow. While shopping, I stumbled across Brett’s YouTube channel. I’m so thankful that I did! I am very picky when it comes to pillows/bedding always looking for cloud-like. Most pillows for neck/shoulder pain are made of foam and in my case only made it worse. After ONE week of sleeping with Brett’s millet pillow, my shoulder pain was completely gone!! The quality is exceptional. The pillow cases are very soft with quality better than most expensive pillow cases. I ordered the “flowers” print and it is so pretty! In addition to the pain being gone, I love the fact that you can mold this pillow to fit you exactly giving you support where you need it. Once you settle into it, it doesn’t move. It holds that shape all night. Traditional pillows will allow air to enter the parts of the pillow surrounding your face at times blocking airways. This pillow does not and I love it! It supports my neck so that I can truly relax. Once still, I literally no longer even feel the pillow! The quality of my sleep has improved greatly. I love these pillows so much that I just ordered the body pillow. I highly recommend Brett’s millet pillows for anyone looking for the perfect pillow!!

Thanks Laura for this awesome review! Your bodypillow was shipped today. Enjoy!

For several years I did have a traditional pillow that worked for me when new, but I had to replace it yearly when it flattened, causing neck pain, achy shoulders, & interrupted sleep. That situation happened a few months ago, & I discovered that pillow was no longer available. My search for a new pillow led me to Brett, & I’m glad it did. I purchased one of Brett’s millet pillows & love how I can reshape it as needed for super comfy sleep whether on my back or side, falling asleep each night the moment I shape it just right for me. I’ve added a knee/ankle bolster for extra comfort. Now I sleep deeply throughout the night, waking in the morning refreshed & pain free! The pillow & bolster are very well made with durable zippered covers, and the fabrics offered for the equally well-made zippered pillow/bolster cases are also high quality & very pretty too. My orders were shipped quickly & were packed well using NO plastic, which I appreciate. Thank you, Brett!

The pillows are awesome! I have gone through many pillows and your millet pillow is by far the best. I have one for downstairs and one for upstairs. My wife loves her millet pillow and millet body pillow as well. I just purchased two more millet pillows for my best friend and his wife. The pillow conforms to any possible position you lay in. That’s the beauty of it. It absolutely makes a great gift for your loved ones as well. Thank you Brett. Very cool indeed.

I was in the military for five years and jumping out of planes had a big affect on my body.

Writing an update, because the pillow is perfect.
Year 2, still going strong. Most of the issues I had with previous millow pillows had to do with the size, and the hulls moving around. Brett’s pillows are perfectly shaped, allowing you to roll your shoulder in for side sleeping, or flat for back sleeping. Brett has it figured out, so thanks Brett for the great product!!
Daniel F. –
The millet pillow really is so good. I had a name brand one and I never saw the fuss but decided after a bad night with a foam pillow to try one of Brett’s pillows and it’s so drastically better. The shape better accommodates my large head better than all other pillows I’ve used and it’s the perfect combo of supportive and firm. Brett also shipped super fast and efficiently. This is really a great and unique shop—don’t hesitate to buy from him.

Thanks for the great review Daniel. Sleep well man.
Nerse –
Great pillow, I’m 5’3″ and have the medium. After a few months, I’ve come to love it for back sleeping. Absolutely the best – never tried something as good as this. For side sleeping, it isn’t quite optimal for me, but Brett provides extra millet husk with every purchase so the fill is adjustable if I ever want to try. I love it so much for back sleeping that I just purchased two more for my dad and a friend.
K. Urbanik –
Dear Brett, Thank you so much for your wonderful hand-sewn millet pillows. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time and money, over the years, trying to find the perfect pillow. Thanks to you, I can finally put all that behind me. I have a renewed excitement for bedtime because I know your millet pillow will be waiting for me. I sleep through the night now, my back and neck don’t hurt anymore, and I wake up ready to take on the day. Your pillows are simply life changing!
Your knowledge, helpful healing tips, and health rejuvenating tools are wonderful, as well. I’m so grateful that you take the time to make our lives more comfortable.

Dear Brett,
My mother got my husband and I your millet hull pillows a few days ago. I have been suffering with neck and shoulder pain for months. I toss and turn all night and haven’t been sleeping. I started massage therapy for my back, shoulders and neck a few months ago to help. I was so full of knots that while getting the massage I compared it to the the feel of driving down a gravel road, crunchy, bumpy, uncomfortable and sore. Everything was knots. I could tell a huge difference the first night sleeping on your pillow! I only woke up one time in the night! The next morning, my back, shoulders and neck felt better than they had in a long time! Three days later, my massage therapist came to work on me. She was amazed at the difference in my neck, back and shoulders! I told her about your pillow. She is really excited and wants to try them too! She said she has many many clients who could benefit from the results she seen in me after only three days. Thank you so much for making these wonderful pillows!

Hey Brett and everyone,
Just wanted to leave a review. Got my undyed millet hull pillow 3 days ago. Loved the awsome undyed material, hard to find anywhere else, also love the biogradable packaging.
First night sleeping on the pillow was a little different, the next morning i had a look at the instructions left in the box and it mentioned about shifting your head around on the pillow to get comfortable and not just lay straight on it. I did that the next two nights and for the first time in years i can say that i had a wakeless night. I’ve always had trouble staying asleep but so far with this fantastic pillow i have fallen asleep fast, stayed asleep and woken up refreshed. I am very much looking forward to the future and many good sleeps. Highly recommend millet hull pillows by Brett rogers, they are fantastic.

Thank you Alastair. I know you paid a lot to have this shipped to Australia but soon the pillow will prove to be well worth it. Please consider my other products too. Sleep well.

Brett, I have been using my new Millet Hull Pillow for the past 3 weeks and I have to say its working great for me. I am a side sleeper and the fact that you can easily manipulate the hulls to suite the height best for you has been awesome. I also switch sides a lot during the night and to re manipulate the hulls is fast and easy. I also want to mention that the hulls are indeed very soft and comfortable on my head. Thank you for making these pillows. I also have been a long time user of your Wooden Back Roller. I use it a lot and you can really tell the time and effort you put into making it. It has helped me with my shoulder issues as well and I know I will have it for a lifetime.

I have been watching Brett on YouTube for about a decade and I really enjoy the knowledge he shares. For my birthday I finally decided to get the Millet Hull pillow. It’s absolutely the best pillow I have had by a long shot! I sleep better than ever and love the customized support. The pillow case is amazing, the inner case is unbelievable. Craftsmanship is outstanding. If the pillow is this good I know I need to start going down the list of all of his other products because I believe they will be just as good! Thanks, Brett!

I have purchased two of the large millet hull pillows from Brett. After relentlessly searching for the perfect sleeping pillow I stumbled upon Brett’s YouTube channel and discovered them. I can tell you, after the first nights sleep I’ve finally found the perfect pillow! My wife also agrees and loves them as well. I’ve used everything from Therapeutica, Tempur-Pedic, Pillow cube, Down, Wool, etc. ( You name it! ) and I’ve never been able to find the perfect pillow until now. As long as Brett is making these wonderful pillows, I will keep buying them. I immediately came back and purchased two more side arm millet hull pillows. I plan on getting the whole product line of pillows eventually…as they are that good! Don’t hesitate, just buy one already! You will not be disappointed.

I have ordered pretty much every product that Brett crafts and love them all. However, my millet hull pillow has got to be at the top of the list. These pillows are hand crafted by Brett himself and are of the highest quality inside and out. The perfect blend of support and comfort. I actually used a Sobakawa buckwheat pillow for many years prior to purchasing one of these and there is no comparison. Millet hulls are far superior and make the perfect fill. I have turned a few friends on to these pillows and everyone who had ordered one loves them as well. Spread the word.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you Phil. I appreciate you taking the time to write this comment today. Soon I will have the “WAEF” (when all else fails) massage tool available. Stay tuned! A few things you don’t have that I’m sure you’d like are the Stoned Foot Friend. (Very different from the regular one) And also the wooden butt massage balls that are covered with about 15 coats of rubber. The ball is for massage your butt whilst lying on the floor. Really gets the pain out!!!
Thank you again Phil! Hope you’re well. Brett
David Stege –
Brett is not jazzing, his pillows are the best in the whole world. Simple but he figured out something just right. The value is incredible. Once you take the leap of faith to get one you’ll just be blown away. I’ve had my XL for two years and it still hasn’t even needed any new hulls. It conforms to you in just the way you need, in any position. Interstingly I think it actually helps your neck muscles get stronger over time. Almost every mainstream pillow goes to mush in a year or less. I got a body pillow recently and it’s so choice, supportive and loving. It takes a day or two to get used to the pillows but probably because our necks have been used to such bad support from modern pillows. Bretts pillows are some serious kit. Everybody should have one. You should have one it is one of the best investments you’ll ever make I swear.

Appleton Fryer –
This is an absolutely fantastic product. I own five of them, as follows. A standard size pillow, 2 smaller travel size pillows, a full size body pillow and a knee bolster pillow.
I support my head and neck with the standard pillow and the two travel size pillows.
It took a few days to become accustomed to using a millet hull pillow because they entirely support your head and neck but they compress just enough to support perfectly but they do not fully compress at all like feather or foam pillows. This custom fit conforms to your head and neck and lasts until you manually adjust the pillow before you use it (once a night).
I experience custom made feel and support always. I have used these pillows for about 3 or four years and never use any other pillow! I take them with me in the car when I travel.
This product gets my highest recommendation and endorsement.

I’ve had this pillow for a year now and I LOVE IT! I’ve struggled for so many years to find a pillow that supported my neck well, so when a friend recommended me this pillow I had to try it.

I ordered my pillow on Jan 31 and it was delivered on Feb 7. Both nights, since I got my pillow, I slept right through the night. I haven`t done that for years. My spine and neck are deformed from bone cancer. This pillow gives me excellent support and soft comfort. I am also sensitive to synthetics and the natural materials are wonderful .

Hello Brett!
First of all I was very impressed with your packaging upon arrival. Much care was given in the packaging and delivery.
My package had a personal touch to it. I opened my package by following your outlined guidance. Brilliant! I would like to thank you for my new Millet Hull Pillow. I slept on it last night and it was truly an amazing experience. It supported me in every way needed. The contouring to my face and neck was so comfortable and supportive. I completely relaxed with such support. The quality of your work is actually beautiful. Pillow case extremely well made.. The medium size is perfect for me. Thank you for keeping me in your loop on these wonderful Millet Hull pillows ♥

MICHAEL H SELL –
I’ve been sleeping on Brett’s pillow for two weeks. It’s the best pillow I’ve had and I have tried many over the past two years trying to find the right fit. I had been sleeping on a 20×26 buckwheat pillow which is nice but when I move around at night I never seemed to get it right resulting in a bad neck ache in the morning. Subsequently tried a millet pillow in the same size and it was better but I still had issues. Brett has it figured out with the inner cover and outer cover for comfort, and more importantly the size. I thought it was marketing hype but turns out this size is perfect because it allows you to get it just right with no excess. My oura ring tells me I barely move now at night whereas before it looked like I was on a hamster wheel. I definitely recommend this pillow and wish I had found it a long time ago. I’m 5’11 190lbs active and got the large size.
Andrea –
I absolutely love my pillow and have for a long time now, as it was a gift from my sister a while back.

I will definitely be taking a look at other products you’ve mentioned — Wishing you a great holiday season
Philip Mitchell –
Brett’s millet hull pillows are amazing! At first, I struggled. But once I’d learned the art of molding the pillow I found the support comfortable and natural. I’ve suffered from back pain for years, it’s not my spine but a bunch of muscles just to the side that knot up now and then. Since using the pillow I’ve not had a problem. I feel like my spine and neck are aligned while sleeping and it’s taken the stress off the problem area. Thanks, Brett
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thanks Philip for the comment. Glad you like the pillow. It should last a long time for you. I hope you try some of my other products like my spine rollers or foot massage tools. Also, find yourself an inversion table online. I’m really into it right now and it totally uncorks the whole body. Have a great night!

I’ve suffered with migraines and neck issues since I was a teen. I always thought that’s just the way things were and that I wouldn’t be able to do much about it. Someone told me I should get a different pillow. I stumbled upon Brett’s YouTube channel where he’s talking about his millet hull pillows. I figured I had nothing to lose so I decided to order one.

I am going to buy a body pillow from you because I am a side sleeper and I know the one I bought at Kmart years ago isn’t cutting it. Lol!! Everything down to the soft material of the pillow case, the sewing and packaging was impressive, But the comfort and support of the millet hulls in the pillow gives the BEST night of sleep.

Sunny DeClute –
I have been using the millet hull pillow since 2014. Through the years I’ve tried so many different types of pillows with no relief from my headaches. But with this pillow, I rarely wake up with a headache anymore. It conforms to your head and can be molded any way you like and stays there. When I’ve had to use traditional pillows when I was traveling or staying at a friends house, they were so horrible to sleep on, so I recently bought one of Brett’s travel millet hull pillow so I won’t have that problem again. The pillows are very well made. Because they are made with a zipper you can adjust how many hulls you want in the pillow. I just take out a little and then I’m good. I’ve had my pillow since 2017, so 4 years and it’s just as comfortable as the first day.

Thank you Brett for sharing your craft! I am 5’6 and around 120#. I went with the medium millet hull pillow and had to take out 6-8 cups to get it to perfection. I have struggled with neck issues for several years from a car accident. When I received this pillow, my neck had flaired up. Once I got the millet hull to the perfect balance, my neck pain has decreased. I have been using this pillow for several months and my neck feels so much better on a daily basis. I am so happy with this pillow and hope to try more amazing products.

Jason Carlson –
I lift regularly for my business (of 12+ years) and have had neck and shoulder pain because of it for years. I do practice yoga and do some self massage and also go to a massage therapist. I am a side sleeper which is a big problem with sleeping comfortably. It never happened! I have tried all kinds of pillows over the years and just gave up and accepted that this is the way it will be. Most of the pillows I tried were just too big to get the right angle for comfort. But smaller pillows that were “deflated” didn’t feel good either. I ordered one of Brett’s millet hull pillows (medium size). It arrived and I ended up removing close to half of the millet hulls inside to reduce the size of the pillow. Here is the difference – these pillows are adjustable and also contour to your head and neck. That is the part that was missing from all of the other pillows. Now, my shoulder and neck pain was at least an 8 on a 10 scale, with 10 being super painful. This is truthful – I used the pillow the first night and then I woke up with most of my regular pain from sleeping gone! I was shocked. I waited a couple months to write a review so that I could test it over time. This is absolutely THE BEST thing I have done for my health in a long time. My only regret is that I waited so long to order one, as I have been watching the Vitality Massage videos for a few years. If you are in a similar, painful situation, I urge you to try one of these just as soon as you can.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
This is a great review and its wonderful that you’ve received such relief from just a pillow. The natural is always best for bodies. It’s amazing that few people get it. Thanks Jason!
Cherylgotmarried –
After sleeping with my beloved millet pillow for a few years now, i purchased 4 of the travel pillows to use around the house…behind my neck and back, etc…nothing compares…being that the hulls are only in the cotton case and not like the regular pillows (in 2 cases) the hull smell is much stronger to me…i am extremely sensitive to smells….might not bother anyone else….i would recommend the millet pillows to anyone unhappy with their current pillow…

When the hulls are new, they are strong but the smell goes away after a while. Yes, it’s stronger with no case. thanks for the comment!
Carolina –
I can’t tell you how much I’ve spent on pillows over the years because it’s quite embarrassing, but I was desperate to alleviate the neck pain I woke up with every day for years. At first I hesitated to buy a millet hull pillow from Brett because I had purchased a buckwheat pillow from a department store before and figured I would get the same result, which wasn’t good, but I thought what the hell, what do I have to lose? Imagine my amazement when I woke up after only one night with my new millet hull pillow with no neck pain! I had finally found my pillow! I love that it contours to your head/face no matter if you sleep on your back or side. I’ve had my pillow for a little over a year now and it’s still “fluffy” and as supportive as the day I got it. Brett makes quality products that are truly healing. I will never go back to any other pillow and am hoping to purchase a body pillow from Brett soon. Thanks Brett for saving my neck 🙂

Thank you Carolina for such a nice comment and I’m so glad your neck pain is gone. Still, remember to massage it and the rest or your body regularly. Have a nice day and call back soon!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY MILLET HULL PILLOW!
I used to buy memory foam cervical pillows for my whiplash but they only held up for about a year before I would get neck pain and spasms again. I bought a small millet hull pillow from Brett about 5 YEARS AGO and never looked back! I recently purchased a second one as a replacement (fabric stains), the quality is unbeatable. I NEVER SLEEP WITHOUT THIS PILLOW, I take it wherever I need to!
Tara –
I LOVE this pillow. I was sleeping on a buckwheat hull smaller pillow(14×20…apparently the common size in Japan). I liked the support; but I wanted something softer. I actually tried another brand’s millet pillow…I returned it because I couldn’t tolerate the smell, and it was much more expensive than Brett’s pillow even with having to pay for shipping with this. It also was so heavy that traveling with that standard size millet pillow would be cumbersome. The millet hull smell is MUCH less in this pillow.
I did put my own silk pillowcase over top, and just tucked the excess fabric under the pillow, no biggie. I’m vertically challenged haha, and the small adult size is indeed perfect for my narrow shoulders.
During the past few years I’ve become really aware of natural bedding and I’ve tried natural latex pillows, shredded latex pillows, contour neck pillows…none are as comfortable as a hull filled pillow. The shredded latex filling just moved around too much and I would end up with flat indents. Not with the hull pillows! Most pillows have too much loft and put my neck out of alignment, or don’t offer any support for side sleeping. Then I’m left with horribly aching shoulders in the morning! Brett’s millet pillow is the answer to the pillow woes. The key is that these pillows are moldable and keep the shape! All the benefits of buckwheat, but better! My buckwheat pillow will now become an arm support pillow at night, I think. The craftsmanship of Brett’s pillow is really well done! I am happy to support a tiny business where something is handmade in the U.S. That’s rare these days!
I’ll definitely be back to buy a car cushion! Driving or riding in the car just kills my back, and I would love to get rid of the awful chemical foam cushion I currently use! Thanks, Brett!

This is like a totally excellent comment Tara. (talking like a valley girl) Thanks for writing all this. You are awesome!
Braden –
This pillow has made me the annoying friend who never stops talking about his pillow. Seriously, these pillows are high quality and provide unprecedented support for your head and neck while sleeping. I might be imagining this, but when I’m congested and I lie down with this pillow, it allows me to breathe clearly enough to comfortably fall asleep. Highly recommend, thanks Brett.

Thanks Braden! Man you would love one of my other products. Right now I have 17 spine rollers in stock! All sizes!

I have ordered 2 millet pillow ,now it’s been a few months already and even if at beginning was strange to get used now I really enjoy great support for the neck , used to have pain on side of the neck but not anymore as great support. I really recommend these products From Brett’s . He’s really great at what he does, I have bought also other products and they are all amazing . Thank you.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Wow, thank you for the comment Michela! I’m so glad you like the pillows! Hey, if you haven’t commented on the other products, would you mind doing that and also leaving a Google review for me on the internet. Thank you!

First, you are a lovely human being; I appreciate your healthy mission in life. I trust that any product you make will come from a heart that wishes to make life better for the rest of us. Your pillow does not disappoint in craftsmanship and comfort. Thank you for another quality product!

Thanks for the sweet comment Kathryn. I hope you have a super day! 🙂
Emily Goins –
The BEST pillow I have ever purchased. I’ve never really slept with a pillow throughout the years as they were always super uncomfortable no matter the brand I bought. This pillow forms to the position needed and does not leave me with a sore neck! Being in the military for years I’m always searching for the best health care products for comfort and relief and I can definitely say I will always come back to Brett not only for products but for great health advice. Will be purchasing a body pillow next!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you Emily! I’m glad you like the pillow and remember… don’t ever get married again! 🙂
Tamara Bliss –
I have been using my Millet Hull Pillow from Brett for a very long time… Maybe 6-7 years? It is the only pillow I can get comfortable on with neck issues (don’t ask!). This pillow can be adjusted with a little “smoosh” if I need to lift up the level on my side lying position or sculpt the shape to adapt to my back reclining positions. It always adapts to MY body and not the other way around.
Also have a smaller travel pillow for away times.
Thanks Brett!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
I love that my pillow has been so good for you Tamara! If you know anyone else that would like to sleep better, definitely send em my way! If you get a minute, could you also write a review on Google? Thank you!

I bought a millet hull pillow form Brett several years ago and its still going strong. He puts a lot of care and skill into the products he makes and the Millet Hull pillow is no exception. ITS ROCKS!

Last night I slept on my millet hull pillow from Brett for the first time after receiving it yesterday. I didn’t wake up until 10 am!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to go to bed tonight. What a wonderful thing it is , in every way. It is so well made , Brett is meticulous in his workmanship and an amazing artisan. The packaging is perfect and totally professional. I can’t find any fault . Everyone should have at least one of these . Thank you so much Brett.
Germaine –
A month ago I bought more pillows. One for my brother, sister and mom. Now the whole family has one. My sister has noticed that she sleeps better and her shoulder doesn’t hurt. My brother has noticed his neck pain is better and doesn’t get as many headaches, and my mom uses hers between her knees and has noticed her back feels better. The pillows are a good investment and more people need to make the investment in their health. Thanks again Brett for making a great product.
Doodle –
I just love this pillow. I find now I have trouble sleeping without it. I like that the pillow is very pliable and I can continually change it to customize the pillow to fit my current needs. For example, if I want to build it up higher to support my neck I can easily do that. It is so comfortable! I just sink right into it. Unlike any other pillow I have ever had, and I have had every kind of pillow there is out there.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you Ruta. I really appreciate that you like my pillow and have left this nice comment. 🙂
James –
The Millet pillow is the best pillow I have ever slept with. It can be molded into any shape I need as I move around as I sleep. I start off on my side with a pillow between my legs and the Millet pillow supporting my neck and head. Then when I get a bit more tired usually a minute or two later I go to my stomach and bunch the Millet pillow up in a lump and smash my forehead into the edge of it leaving a gap for my mouth to hover above the mattress and breath easy.
It stays cool all night and perfectly form fits my stomach sleeping style. I’m now looking into buying a Millet body pillow which should be awesome.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Hey James! Thanks for your review. I really appreciate it. Keep up the good sleep! I’ll have the bodypillows on sale for a few more weeks. 🙂

We’ve had your millet hull pillows for a long time, close to 10 years now.. and just recently bought two more, one to give as a gift, and one to keep in my travel bag. I travel almost every week, and stay at a variety of hotel chains which all have different pillows, and none come close to your millet Hull pillows.. so now I carry one with me on business trips all around the world. I have been asked a few times at security about my pillow contents, but has never really been a problem.. We’ve found these pillows to be the best, completely confirms to your head, neck, side, back stomach sleeper, whatever the case.. top notch craftsmanship and materials, the stitching is awesome.. it’s absolutely the best pillow we’ve ever had.. theoretically should last forever.. in the beginning it took a few nights to get use to, but it’s awesome, no more tossing, turning, readjustment of pillow.. were so lucky to have come across Brett’s pillows.. we have countless multi hundred dollar down and other pillows we’ve tried.. I would recommend to anyone.. peace and love to all!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you very much for this super sweet review Rade. Wishing you many more good nights of sleep!
Azra B –
Comfortable, ergonomic, natural – hard to beat this pillow. One of the things I like is that you can mold it to have support under your neck when black sleeping while at the same time having full neck extension, which opens the airway for easier breathing and reduces snoring. I previously had an “oxygen pillow” which worked fairly well for this, but I appreciate that the millet pillow is made with natural sustainable materials instead of foams. Keep up the good work Brett.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you for the nice review Azra. Glad you like it. Millet pillows make great gifts! Buy more and help others sleep better! 🙂
Lisa –
I have tried different pillows and the millet is the best!!
It did wonders for my neck. I have had neck pain almost every day and this Pillow has been wonderful and most of my days have been pain free.
Thank you Brett!! You do a wonderful job with these pillows. ?
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thank you Lisa for the nice comment! 🙂
Germaine –
Thank you for putting so much time and effort in making the best pillow ever. The pillow case designs are beautiful. Originally I bought the pillow for my mom who has neck issues from being in a car accident. She wanted me to give it to my husband or brother instead. My mom always looks out for the kids no matter what age we are. My husband ended up with the pillow. I’ve noticed he doesn’t snore as much and he seems to sleep better. I’ve had a small one for years and I love it. I have recommended this web site to family and friends because I believe the pillows are the best. I will make more purchases in the future. Thank you again for making a great pillow.
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Fantastic Germaine. I’m so glad you finally got one for YOU! Thanks for sending business my way. I don’t really want to sell on Amazon and it’s my repeat business and word or mouth that keeps me going. Sleep well and thank you!
Martha ( Mimi) Slater –
Perfect!!!! This is the pillow I’ve been waiting for all my life!!! I have a bad neck due to being rear ended in a traffic accident. This is the only pillow that gives me relief. Love that it’s all organic. This is a company with integrity and one in which I’m happy to have found. You’re really missing out if you don’t try one. I’m a customer for like! THANK YOU!!!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thanks for calling me back yesterday Martha. You are going to love this second pillow! I will make it perfect and send an extra case too. Sleep well and thanks for the review!
Connor H –
Thank you Brett! I was surprised by how fast it came. I was expecting it to be ready in a few weeks but it was ready in a few days and at my house in a week! Very comfortable too, i used to have to sleep with two pillows under my head and now just this one is good enough!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
Thanks much for your comment Connor. I appreciate the feedback. People don’t realize how good these pillows are until they use them. You would also love my other products! Cars don’t have enough low back support in the seats. My back supports are great! The spine rollers are SO incredible but people just don’t know because they’ve never used them. People have foot pain and they just don’t know that, if they had a Foot Friend, they could rub out the pain every day.
Sleep well,
Brett
Lindsey –
I purchased 4 of these pillows for my entire family on my very first order with Brett – that is how much trust I had in both Brett himself and in his work! Everyone absolutely loves their pillow and we’re all sleeping better and best yet, waking up better! If you care about your neck/back (and lungs) don’t hesitate on this purchase. I have been watching Brett for over 10 years on YouTube and always wanted his pillow and finally after this long I took the plunge and really wished I had sooner. Well worth the money because #1 it’s handmade with love and passion but you’re getting solid support every night, pillow conforms exactly where you need it and STAYS there and for 7-9 hours a night while you’re sleeping with your mouth pressed up against this, you’re breathing in from something that is natural and organic, not chemical material & foams and whatever else is in those other cheap pillows. Thanks again Brett!
Slowly Getting Healthier –
This is one of the most awesome reviews I’ve received. Thank you, Lindsey! In this busy world, not everyone will take the time to write a review. You are awesome and I hope that you try some of my other products!

I recently purchased Brett’s millet hull pillow and am so pleased with it. You can see and feel the care that went into it. From the actual pillow and pillow case to the bag of extra millet hulls in case you need to adjust the firmness of the pillow to the packaging materials. I’m so appreciative of the good old-fashioned care and value that goes into all of Brett’s products (I also have his shindig and foot soother). Thank you, Brett, for all you do .
Brett Rodgers –
Thank you Alice! Sleep well!
Matt –
I can confirm Brett’s pillows are great they are very comfortable and adjustable plus the craftsmanship of the pillow is excellent. I highly recommend you get one.
Brett Rodgers –
Thank you Matt! You should get a roller too man! They are just as awesome as the pillows. 🙂
Gary Kent –
I have a very stiff neck, poor cushioning between my vertebrae and very little of the natural curvature I used to have. Unlike any other pillow I have tried, this pillow can be adjust to be just right in any position, left side, right side or lying on my back. Thanks so much for this pillow.

Thanks Gary! If you know anyone that needs one (everybody) then send them on over!

I’m so glad that I came across your website. I was researching for a very long time. Finally I wake up in the morning pain free. I love my pillow! I had no issues and felt comfortable sleeping on it from the first night. Also the eco-friendly packaging is very nice. Thank you!

I hope these pillows last an eternity because I’m taking it with me too the big sleep! Seriously, I’m a picky pillow guy and this is seriously the best Pillow around.

If I would have known there was such a wonderful product like the millet pillow I would have been free of neck pain years ago!!! I was sleeping on the chiropractic recommended pillows, which are hard and do not mold and support your neck and head like the millet pillow. The VERY first night I slept with the millet pillow, I actually slept the whole night through. In the morning, I was not stiff and my neck did not hurt! Comfort and healing ….wonderful! Thank you Brett
Brett Rodgers –
Thanks so much Wanda! I hope you get as good of benefits out of the roller!
Corie Diehl –
I purchased the millet hull pillow for my son for Christmas and he could not be happier!!!! He loves how the pillow comforms to his head and he loves that the product came with an extra pound of millet hulls so he is able to adjust the pillow to his liking. I highly reccomend this product to anyone!!!! Service was impeccable and my order arrived as promised. The packaging was ecofriendly and he even have his own personal drawing with the product. Looking forward to ordering more products in the future from Brett!!!
Brett Rodgers –
Thank you Corie. This is such a nice comment and I hope you get a pillow too! 🙂
Darnell Rogers –
Brett, I want you to know it’s been 2 weeks since I purchased my pillow.
My pillow is fantastic, just perfect neck and head support for a side and back sleeper such as myself. I’m not waking up with the neck or upper back issues I’d seemed to be plagued with before sleeping on my millet pillow.
I laughingly told a group of friends that my pillow was “life” changing but it’s really true. The pillow is well made and I’m happy with my extra pillow cases
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Darnell
Timothy –
Hey Brett…been using your millet hull pillow for two weeks and I can’t say enough good about it – I have issues with a pinched nerve in my neck and the support and comfort of the pillow is miraculous. It is a perfect pairing of comfort and healthy support – a combination I have never found in other pillows…and how great it’s all natural. Absolutely worth every cent – I will be ordering more and a number of your other products. How can you beat these health promoting items that are crafted by hand of all natural materials. I hope you do well marketing your products..I’ll try to spread the word.
RaChelle Stewart –
I finally FINALLY got one of Brett’s millet hull pillows and holy moly it is fantastically comfortable! It takes getting used to but ‘ll never go back to a store bought one.
My goal is to build up my collection of these pillows to use between my knees and one for arm support. Maybe someday Brett will offer full mattresses 😉
The attention to detail in the stitching is of the highest quality. Beautiful fabric and the case washes up really well.
Thank you Brett for putting your heart into what you do. It reflects in your products and you really are changing the world one pillow, massage tool, video at a time.
Brett Rodgers –
Thank you Shell for this nice comment. I really appreciate you and hope you get feeling better and better. We should talk live on FB. 🙂

This pillow is perfect. I was on the fence about purchasing it, but I am so glad I did. It is now the only pillow I use.

Angel S. –
This really is a great pillow. It might take a few days to adjust to it, but once you get used to it, you sleep like a baby. This pillow gives good support for your neck and head. I love how it was made and the pillow case is beautiful.
Brett Rodgers –
Angels deserve to sleep well don’t they?
James Halleluyah –
Brett is the man!
This pillow is a godsend. The smell and feel is like a perfect cloud of cool blessed joy. I start off sleeping on my side which this pillow is perfect for. I then move to my stomach and push my left hand under the pillow and sleep with half of my face on the right side of the pillow and the other half hanging off floating above the mattress.
With this Millet Pillow I can perfectly form the right edge of the pillow to completely support my face while I sleep face down. The pillow is also very cool and has this great blend of shaping and yet staying how you shape it when done.
I’m now going to buy all this guys stuff! Goodbye crappy Walmart seven dollar pillows hello Millet Pillow for life!
Brett Rodgers –
Thanks James. You know you can takes some of the hulls out of the pillow and then it will lay as flat as you want it to. You can still bunch it up too. Adjust the amount to you liking. Peace in.
George –
I was looking for a buckwheat pillow when I came across Brett’s millet hull pillows. Since purchasing It took me a few days to get used to it. It’s the best pillow I’ve ever had. Thanks Brett!

That’s GREAT George! Thanks for taking the time to write a review!
Martha1258 –
I absolutely LOVE my Millet Hull Pillows! I have one I ordered a few years ago. This pillow is still in fantastic condition. Then I got one of the spliced pillows recently. I love this one also! Brett makes a premium product using the best of materials. I have tried all sorts of pillows over the years, nothing has come close to Bretts fantastic products. If you are looking for a premo, long lasting, good for you pillow, I highly suggest these. If you are new to Millet Hull pillows just keep in mind, you need to learn how to sleep on it properly. No big deal, don’t let that scare you. When you lay on the pillow, you will quickly see how to best adjust and kind of mold the pillow to your head and neck. Just DO IT! I am serious….you will LOVE IT!
Brett Rodgers –
Thank you Martha! You should try some of the massage tools!
Dee Just –
I was so ready to receive my Millet Hull Pillow from Brett, and I was not disappointed. I already have a buckwheat neck pillow which after placing it in the micro-wave many times it needed to be replaced. After hours of research and examination of several companies/people’s product I settle on Brett’s because of muslin fabric choice. I surmised that he is a detail person, but I did not expect the detail even to the packaging.
Hull comparison showed that Millet has added health benefits I look forward to experiencing.
Brett Rodgers –
Thanks Dee for the nice comment!
Cheryl Farren –
hi brett! thanks so much for the meticulously packaged and handmade millet pillow! to be fair in my review, it took me a week or so to get used to the pillow..i would sleep with it half the night then switch back to my old pillow..the first thing i noticed with the millet pillow is that the back of my neck and head felt calm and not tight and stressed and sore as it would be with my old pillow..after the initial week or so, i am now using the millet pillow every night, all night and i love it! i am so happy i decided to purchase it..keep up the good work..you are so knowledgeable and giving of yourself..i love your videos too! good luck with your new home..
Brett Rodgers –
Wonderful Cheryl! So glad you like it. Thanks for watching my awesome videos! 🙂

I have been sleeping on a millet hull pillow for about 10 years now, it was time for a new one and I found Brett’s pillows and gave it a shot. Brett your pillow is awesome and better than my old one. It was perfectly filled, didn’t have to add or subtract hulls, love the pillow cases too! looking forward to getting a knee bolster in the near future. I’m sure I will enjoy this pillow for many years : )
Brett Rodgers –
So glad you like it Jane. Sleep well.

First night on the pillows Brett. They are wonderful.
So first off the box. The tape on the box was perfect. The tape dude !!! Jeeez as soon as I saw the box and how meticulous you had taped it and packed it I knew inside wow !! You can tell people who care about details care about ALL THE DETAILS.
My moms a retired Home Economic teacher. You know the old days when they had teachers teach sewing and cooking etc. Well let me tell you she could sew. So can I. I used to sew all my own outdoor gear because. Back packing and such. Let me tell you. The fabrics of the pillow cases. Well it would be hard pressed to find fabric this nice. You did a lot of research to find these. The external fabrics cases are so beautiful . Nice thick long lasting material and it’s so silky.
The pillow covers, as you know are very dense but very comfortable and they will def last a long long time.
Like your box tape, the seams are sewn with perfection. No lumps their perfectly straight and the threading is incredible compared to any type of thread on machine made pillows. This is nice and robust and will last decades.
Custom work takes painstaking practice to get to the point of making it this perfect. Every detail is to perfection.
Along with the look and feel to the hand and face. The comfort 🙂 OMG!!! The comfort is incredible what a feel. It’s just perfection. My girl friend used the small travel Kids pillow for back support in her mini van carting her four kids around yesterday and slept on it too. I tried the medium size for my sleep and wow !!! I was so fed up with pillows I finally just use towels. My chiropractor dad taught me to use towels in a pinch at hotels and such. NO MORE !! Once I got the pillow adjusted to the head and shoulders the millet husk actually hold their position remarkable well. Very few adjustment through the night to get them to hold the “mounding” or “adjusting”. I can’t wait to get some more items your quality is outstanding.
Ok I’m back !!!!!! MY girlfriend and I have been using he pillows for about two weeks now. I’m ordering a set for myself and I’m ordering the car seat support. My GF is a retired black hawk pilot BTW and she has a lot of neck and shoulder problems from 20
Years of heavy helmets, night vision goggles, vibration and seats designed for men. So she never wore her counter weight when flying with night vision goggles so her neck is a mess. She had gotten so much relief with your pillow.
I just can’t say enough !! I will order mine now and I’m going to order a third set for my father and a fourth set for my sister.
Talk to you later Brett !!!!
Love and Peace

Ted –
The pillow is easy to adapt to any position you sleep in as it can be molded into whatever configuration you need. For anyone who likes to stretch out on the floor it can be used with great comfort to support your neck in the perfect position. Good job in figuring this out Brett.
Brett Rodgers –
Thanks Ted!
T. Sullivan –
I am a tall (6’6″) with a slim build and narrow shoulders. As a side sleeper I have struggled to find the right pillow height and feel – the millet pillow is awesome. It is easy to adjust to right height and position and provides great neck support. The pillow is definitely different – the square shape and the millet fill takes some getting used to, but it is definitely worth it. The pillow smells like millet, which has a natural earthy, grain smell to it. It takes a little getting used to but fades quickly, and by the time its gone you’ll miss it.
Quality is great. Very satisfied. Arrived quickly with no issues and Brett was a pleasure to work with.
Brett Rodgers –
Thanks Trajan. I’m really glad you like the pillow. Everything about it was very intentional… the size, the organicness, the filling, the firmness/softness. Please tell others about my products. Thanks.
Carla –
I was very hesitant when my pillow came in the mail. It was so different from any pillow I have ever used and it had an odd smell but after only a few nights I can honestly say I could never go back to using any other kind of pillow again!
Brett Rodgers –
I would give you a huge hug right now if I could. You have reached out to me and have been so kind. Thank you Carla.
John –
I absolutely love my pillow. The quality is simply amazing. I can tell this pillow will last for many many years. Brett truly cares about his customers and clients. He actually goes above and beyond. His attention to detail is amazing. I highly recommend any and all of His products.
Brett Rodgers –
Thanks so much John. Glad you like it. Sleep well bro.
Dan –
Not only do these look great as replacing my toxic couch pillows they are unbelievably comfortable. I primarily lay on the floor and these pillows are perfect for molding to my neck/head. I haven’t had to adjust the millet count yet but it’s good to know they came with extra. They also have some nice weight to them and hold their position very well.
Brett Rodgers –
Thanks Dan for the comment. Glad you like the pillow. I just introduced a millet hull bodypillow. Please check it out!
Tom –
I had been sleeping on foam rubber pillows for years. I don’t care for soft pillows. They don’t provide enough support. I was a bit skeptical of a millet pillow. Sleeping on one for one night was all it took to change that. I’ve had neck problems for years from too much time leaning forward to look at a computer screen or looking down at a phone. Sleeping on the millet pillow provided some relief the very first night. I’ve been using it for about a month and I’m very pleased with it.
Margo –
Hi Brett,
Thank you for the wonderful pillow.
I was waiting for a whole week before I share my review – I wanted to be absolutely sure that this is THE pillow.The ultimate.
I have been on a pillow quest for years, cannot count how many pillows I’ve changed. There was always something missing.Too high, too low, too hard or suffocatingly soft. I even tried a buckwheat pillow from a Korean market – too noisy, crunchy and hard.
Your millet husk PILLOW is something different- nice to touch, smooth , I can mold it in many different ways. It doesn’t mess with my hair and it doesn’t hurt my neck, it is not too soft and not too hard.
This is not a pillow- this A Dream come true.
Thank you, thank you. You deserve a Nobel prize for this Pillow. Seriously.
Wishing you all the Best and many many Pillows to come:)) Margo
Tudor –
It is THE best pillow in the world! It’s a natural memory “foam”, the face fits perfectly in the pillow and the shoulder is in a very relaxed position. Brett really puts his mind and heart in these pillows. I give it 6 stars!

I’m SO glad you got them Tudor. I thought they might be in customs forever! Yea!!! Yaa hoooo! Sleep well my friend.

I recently purchased one of Brett’s millet pillows. I’ve had others for probably 10 years. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and construction of his millet pillow. I tried many other pillows for years, but nothing compares to the Millet pillow. No neck pain when I wake up. Love it!!!

I am so happy I ordered a pillow! I feel more relaxed. After sleeping on this pillow I felt better overall than I have in years. Yes it’s true! I’m sure my family and friends will want one too. Thanks Brett!

Thank You so much for my millet hull pillow!!! I love how it is all organic and the shipping package was all eco friendly!!! It is SOOOO comfortable and works fantastic for me…..I had been using memory foam cervical pillows to ease my whiplash and used to get headaches and neck cramps if I used anything else. I hated how the memory foam pillows smelled highly of chemicals and are the OPPOSITE of eco friendly. Brett’s pillow smells amazing and I love how I can adjust how much or how little millet hulls I want inside the case. Great craftsmanship all around and super sturdy! Well worth every penny!
Brett L –
You’re welcome Abby. I put my heart into em so I guess that’s the result. 🙂 Sleep well.

Hey Brett!
Aside from being amazing at all things natural, your pillow rocks! I should say the only issue I have with it is that I have such a deep sleep I have issues waking up now – lol!
I trie everything before your product and can say that I will never buy any other pillow again. Your pillow is perfect.
Seriously, thank you for the amazing product. It’s so nice to do business with someone who cares about the product and their customers! Can’t wait to get my other order. Thanks again!!!
Best pillow of all time, bottom line!

Hey Brett,

Man, Brett,
I bought my millet pillow from . . . . the other pillowcompany, not for any reason in particular, I just ended up there. I am loving my pillow, it has made all the difference in the world to my sleep. But it didn’t have enough filling. When I ordered my pillow from . . . . the other pillowcompany, it took over a month for my order to get here. Now, needing more millet hulls, I have been trying for 10 days to get in touch with them to get more hulls. There’s no one there. I place an order with you in the morning and I have a notice on my email when I get home from work that you have shipped my order; I’m impressed. Well done Sir. You deserve a BIG slap of gratitude on the back for excellent customer service. I will remember you and pass on a recommendation to any who ask.

I received my millet hull pillow about 1 week ago and at first it took some getting use to, but I LOVE IT NOW!! I wake up with no neck pain and I don’t have to adjust my pillow through the night. It really does mold to your shoulder and neck. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I am loving my millet hull pillow, made with love & care by Brett. It came beautifully packaged & is a high quality product. The materials are excellent & the pillow case washes beautifully & looks really nice too. Having never had a pillow like this, it took a couple of nights to get used to, but now I don’t want to be without it as it provides such good support for my head, neck & shoulders & I feel better when I wake up in the morning. Awesome!!

Hi Brett:
My dogs are 120 pounds and 70 pounds, a yellow lab and goldendoodle (see review Dec, 22, 2015). The lab, Buddy, especially needs a good bed for his 12-year-old body. Please let me know if a millet hull pillow for him is possible. Also, I really liked your YT video on Nyishar’s pine pollen. I ordered a jar for myself. Yes, Paul really knows his stuff! I’m looking forward to trying it. Thanks for the heads up!
Peace and love,
Barbie

Wow, the extra large pillow really is large! It molds perfectly to your head and neck, and can be tucked up firm if needed. So much different than any synthetic or feather soft/medium/hard pillow. A real shapeshifter, and well made, too. Thank you for providing me with a better nights sleep!

Hey Brett,
Been meaning to tell you for several weeks, how much I’m enjoying my pillow you made! I love the way I can shape it to exactly what feels right for my head and neck, wake up feeling better. Very high quality, thanks for sending me the extra seeds. Cooler, which makes for better sleep than most pillows too. Always nice to order directly from the person who made the product with their own hands, yourwill be too popular for that to last, if if it’s still true, that is so rare these days! You are thoughtful, informative, and just plain cool 🙂

I use one of the small millet hull pillows about twice a week to apply pressure under my buttocks to ward off the pains and tensions that my mostly sedentary job used to cause me. As long as I stay ahead of it and use this product regularly, I don’t have any of the problems I used to have. Piriformis, and sciatica and similar issues never have a chance to develop. I bought mine years ago and finally decided to write a review because the way this product has held up through regular use makes it worth every star! I look forward to exploring some of the other products on the site!

I was originally very hesitant to buy this online due to the price and that it was such a different material then i was used to. But i can happily say. This is HANDS down best pillow i have ever had. 2 years and its quality is still showing. I used to suffer for head aches and neck problems almost every morning but after a few days with this magical wonder. It has drop those issues by almost 100%.
Best of all because of the millet inside you can shape it to sleep in any position that suites you and while it wont move unless you do its by far the most supportive pillow i have ever had.
Brett thank you so much for my pillow and all that you do.

The two extra-large millet hull pillows I’ve been using for a week are absolutely wonderful. Neck seizures and cracking have stopped, which is astonishing. Really, I never dreamed of this level of response in so little time. Give the pillows a few days to soften and conform to your body. I ordered a couple of extra cases in a different print to swap out. I hope Brett would consider making millet hull dog beds. I would definitely buy two for our two large dogs, one of whom is an arthritic senior. Delivery was super fast. Top rate product and service.

THE BEST THE BEST!
This pillow is so comfy I don’t want to leave out of bed. It gives me perfect support for my neck and shoulders and is gentle on my super sensitive skin. It’s dense, firm and airy at the same time which is very different from mushy synthetic memory pillow I had. It freed me from skin rashes, neck pain and retained heat. The scent of millet hulls makes me feel as if I’m lying in open green field and go ahhhhhh! The natural fabric and care put into this pillow is also amazing. A work of true artisan. I’m so happy I’ve found this and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Thank you Brett ; )

The pillow has exceeded my expectations! (And they were high.) It is so much more comfortable than any other pillow I have used, and it has allowed me to fall asleep more quickly and sleep comfortably with no neck pain.

Thank you! I love everything about these pillows, inside & out! Also special to know that when you purchase Brett’s products, you’re actually dealing with a real person and not some overseas customer service. LOL! I loved the little drawing that came with the instructions. Love your vibe and your products!

I love my millet pillow! For years I kept on buying foam pillows that would give me restless nights of sleep, along with a sore neck. After the first night of using the millet pillow, I had to remove some of the hulls to have a less firm pillow. It took me about three days to fully get used to the pillow.
Thank you for the quick shipment of the second pillow I just ordered from you. It was a birthday gift for my husband.
They are so beautifully crafted. We look forward to many years of comfortable sleep thanks to you and your wonderful pillows, Brett.

Brett,
Thank you for such a great, high quality pillow. I have spent a lot of money on foam pillows, but I’ve never been 100% satisfied. I couldn’t be happier with the product and am looking at getting one for my wife as well. (she keeps taking it from me).
Thanks!
Steve –
Great product. Firm, supportive pillow that keeps my head, neck, and shoulders in better alignment while sleeping, relieving long term shoulder pain. The millet form fits to my head at whatever position or height I want, and stays there through the night. Though firm, this pillow never feels hard to my head. I recommend the largest size Brett sells.
Kimberly –
Wow I just love my pillow, fell in love with it right away, no break in period, just pure sleep! I have always had a sleeping problem and have severe Psoriatic arthritis and find sleeping with my neck problems very difficult. Not with this pillow. I just nestled in and fell asleep. Thank you for making such a wonderful product that I know will last a long time and give me the rest I need. I would love a whole bed made out of this!! Thank you, Thank you!

I love the millet hull pillow. It has this smoother feel that I have not experienced in the buckwheat pillows. I had been sleeping on three buckwheat hull pillows for 14 years. It took me over a week to get used it and once I did, I did not go back to the memory foam, downy, cotton, etc pillows because I couldn’t get a good night’s sleep on them anyway. I learned how I could manipulate the buckwheat to fit my head in any position that I may sleep. Back then, there were no instructions. Brett has many YouTube videos on how he does his whole life health and how he sleeps on the millet hull pillows and body pillows.
After viewing Brett’s videos, I had to order a millet hull pillow for myself. I left the millet hull pillow as it was sent to me for the first night. I love the height of the millet pillow. However, I took out about 3 cups of millet hulls to try the second night. It made a difference in the way I like my head to fit. I slept so much better. Just removing a few cups of millet made the pillow customized for me. I really appreciate that Brett sent extra millet hulls with my order to use now or later for adjustments or replenishing. I could not do that with the buckwheat pillows. There were no zippers to remove hulls or add to. I had to use three buckwheat pillows to get the height comparable to Brett’s one pillow. Brett’s pillows are well made and sewn so that the fabric does not unravel. Most importantly, they are made with long lasting organic linen and cotton fabric that I know will way outlast the cases on my buckwheat pillows.
If you have trouble with your millet hull pillow and you don’t get what you want out of it the first night, please don’t give up. It would be well worth your time to try small changes spread over time to get the pillow to work for you. Some of the small changes are adding and subtracting hulls and pushing up the bottom corners or pushing down the top corners around your head to hold it up where you are the most comfortable. To keep pressure (burning, tingling sensation) off my ears, I scoop a dent into the pillow so that I can drop my ear into the little well. This is something that I could never do with any of the traditional, conventional pillows.
For me, Brett, your pillows are full of awesomeness!
Beware: Watch out! Other family members and pets may want dibs on your pillow!!

I am sooo happy I found your site, The pillows were amazing throughout my pregnancy. And still 10 months after. My little boy is sooo comfy on the knee bolster, he has used it since he was born. Thank you for working with us and providing such an amazing quality pillow. Finally!

I have suffered from chronic neck and upper back pain pain since I was in high school. During my never-ending quest to find relief, I have tried A LOT of different pillows, including some recommended by physical therapists. Some of them were quite expensive, and most of them made from the usual toxic crap. They would all feel great the first week or two or even a month, but in the end, they always made me feel worse and ended up being a waste of money.
I have been using one of Brett’s millet hull pillows for almost 3 months now, and I genuinely love it! The smell, the size, the adaptability, the fabrics, the support – all of it! I even love the heaviness of the thing. The weight is reassuring, and it screams ‘I am a REAL pillow!’
Picking it up and squeezing it while I am making the bed makes me happy. And it is amazing in the car for road trips!
It has made a big difference in my sleep patterns and overall health. I move a lot less, and I always wake up with my neck feeling better than when I went to sleep – a major life improvement. Even better, headaches are down by 80-90%! My massage therapist and acupuncturist have both commented on how much looser my neck muscles are, and are contemplating buying some for themselves. 🙂
We are over-due to replace our mattress, and I am glad we waited as long a we did. My husband is totally on-board with switching to a millet-hull mattress after seeing what this amazing little pillow has done for me!
Thank you Brett!

I love my pillow! Before I bought this pillow from Brett I was using a foam pillow that I bought from my chiropractor for $40, which offered some neck support and had a bit of a hole in the middle so your neck would be better aligned while sleeping on your back. While I preferred that pillow over a regular old pillow, it doesn’t even compare to these millet hull pillows. Brett’s pillows are very well constructed–the linen is of the highest quality and will last forever–and it is the most versatile pillow you find anywhere.
It can provide the perfect amount of neck support when you are sleeping on your back, and if you are primarily a side sleeper (like me) it is able to become much thicker and more supportive just by bunching it up a little. I tend to switch from sleeping on my side to my stomach to my back throughout the night, and this is the only pillow that can be customized for every way you could possibly want to sleep.
It will take two or three days to get fully used to it, and after you have been using it for a few weeks it will get “broken in”, and you might have to add a few extra millet hulls (which Brett includes in the shipment). But within a few days you will surely fall in love with it and there is no going back to regular old pillows that are always too flat or too poofy or are only really supportive in one sleeping position. Give this pillow a try; you can really feel the love, thought, and craftmanship that went into designing and creating these super special pillows. It is as if a lullaby was woven into the fabric that cradles you into sleep.

Wow! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pillow! I’ve had neck pain for many, many years and always changed out my pillow every 1- 2 months. This is the first pillow that has allowed me a sound nights sleep and no neck pain in the morning. Brett is a GENIUS! The quality of the sewing and fabric is fantastic! I am so pleased with Brett’s fabulous pillows! I would recommend them to everyone – even if you don’t have neck pain.
Chuck Rosenbaum –
Brett’s Millet Hull pillows are simply the best! I have used one for years and it is without a doubt, the best pillow I have ever owned. When I received the pillow, the first thing I noticed was the quality. Brett pays great attention to detail and uses top quality materials. This pillow keeps my head and neck in perfect position and I wake up feeling great! One of the best purchases I have ever made!! Thanks!!!!
Mike Sunfire –
I appreciate Brett’s personal attention and loving care in the creating and shipping his health products to us. I also welcome in my home those goods that are put together with kindness and appreciation of others.
In my emotional growth I have come to sense that the products and goods we purchase from others are infused with either positive emotions like warm and sincerity or negativity and greed.
Brett is a man that puts his heart in what he does to create health articles permeated with sincerity and kindness: qualities that are fundamental to success in business.
POB –
Never found a pillow I liked at all until this one. I’ve had a fairly painful neck condition for many years and this is the only pillow that has ever given me a pain-free night’s sleep.
Donna Bares –
I purchased bulk millet hulls for a pillow I already had. I love my pillow and I haven’t had any neck pain since I started using it.
I have fusions at 5-6 and 6-7 cervical spine and if I use a regular pillow I have pain within 10-15 minutes.

Linda W –
Dear Brett, I absolutely love my millet hull pillow. I’ve had this pillow for several years now and it’s been fantastic. From the quality of construction to the comfort of the pillow, this purchase has been a great value. In the past, I used to wake up with a stiff neck, that no longer happens. Thank you so much for this quality pillow.
