Millet Hull Pillow with Smooth, Sand-Like Feel & Firm Support
Our Premium Millet Hull Pillow is the softer, quieter cousin of our premium buckwheat pillow. Filled with 100% organic millet hulls, it offers a unique “sand-like” feel that adapts smoothly to your contours while still giving you stable support. Naturally cool, whisper quiet, and fully adjustable, this pillow is ideal for side and back sleepers who want firm support without the hardness of buckwheat or the heat of memory foam.
Who Is This Pillow For?
- Side & Back Sleepers: Promotes proper alignment with gentle but firm contouring. Especially helpful for neck pain, CPAP user, or TMJ
- Hot Sleepers: Breathable millet hulls plus a bamboo cover wick away heat and moisture for cooler nights.
- Sensitive Sleepers: Ultra-quiet fill with no harsh odors or chemicals—perfect if buckwheat pillows feel noisy or too firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a millet pillow feel like?
It provides a smooth, fluid support that gently molds to your head and neck. Customers often compare the sensation to sleeping on soft, fine sand. It offers contouring support without the noticeable firmness or rustling sound of buckwheat hulls.
How does it compare to buckwheat or memory foam?
A millet pillow is the quiet and silky alternative to buckwheat. Unlike memory foam which often traps heat and has a chemical smell, millet hulls are all-natural and allow air to circulate freely, ensuring a cool night's sleep.
Does it help with neck pain and posture?
Absolutely. The tiny, round millet hulls make micro-adjustments to perfectly fill the space beneath your neck, promoting healthy spinal alignment and reducing strain. This consistent support is especially helpful for relieving tension and encouraging relaxed breathing throughout the night.
How long does a millet pillow last?
With proper care, a PineTales millet pillow is a long-term investment in your sleep, typically lasting 5–8 years. You can also purchase additional millet hulls to refresh the fill over time and maintain your perfect level of support.
How do I clean and care for it?
Cleaning is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Unzip the cover and carefully pour the millet hulls into a separate container.
2. Machine-wash the empty cover on a gentle cycle and let it air dry completely.
Important: Never get the millet hulls wet. To naturally refresh them, spread them out in a sunny, dry spot for a few hours.
