Millet Pillows

Millet hull pillows for people who want the shape-holding support of buckwheat with a softer, quieter feel. Millet hulls are smaller and rounder than buckwheat, so they pour and shift like fine sand, conform more closely to your head and neck, and barely rustle. Organic cotton shell with a hidden zipper, adjustable and refillable, in sizes from neck roll to king. Made in Chicago.

Can't decide? The multigrain pillow is millet on one side and buckwheat on the other.

Sizes

Standard 20 x 26, queen 20 x 30, king 20 x 36, and neck rolls from 4 x 12 to 6 x 16. Start full and remove hulls a cup at a time until your neck is level with your spine; keep the extras for topping up later, or buy organic millet hulls when the fill settles.

Care

Hulls stay out of the washer. Unzip, empty, sun them for an afternoon a few times a year, and wash the shell like cotton.

Frequently asked questions

What does a millet pillow feel like?

Like a bag of very fine sand that takes the shape of your head, then holds it. Softer and quieter than buckwheat, firmer than any fiber pillow.

Is millet or buckwheat better for neck pain?

Both hold the neck's curve. Buckwheat holds it more rigidly; millet gives slightly and is easier to sleep on if you're new to hull pillows.

Why do millet pillows cost more?

The hulls are smaller and lighter, so a pillow takes more of them, and organic millet is grown in smaller quantities than buckwheat.
