"Hello there, Brett. Thanks a bunch for the superbly constructed pillow. I have a dislocated clavicle that shifts in my sleep and this little beauty keeps me still while slumbering. The organic materials used just ooze freshness and help me wake up vigorous. And all this after 3 nights of sleep, Hot Diggity! Keep up the dynamite work.  Johnny."

PS:  I LOVE LOVE LOVE my millet hull pillow. 

Hi Brett,

How are you?  I have been using your pillow now for almost a week and I do feel better through my head, neck, shoulders, and are sleeping better.  I needed to remove some hulls but now I need to put some back to get it just right 
Thank you,
Robert

"Hi Brett,

Thanks for checking-in,

"Hi Brett, Thanks for the update!  I adore my Millet Hull Pillow and cannot thank you enough for it!
Have a happy healthy New Year and keep doing the great work you do!
Sincerely, Maddy :)"

"Hi Brett!
The pillow is perfect.  It's all that I'd hoped it would be.  Both my fiance and mother are considering purchasing millet pillows from you as well now! 
Thanks so much.

"Hello Brett,

I recently purchased two of your millet pillows as Christmas gifts for my daughters, both of whom have neck and shoulder problems.  I have to tell you, they both rave about your pillow and are much happier with the support of the millet hulls over the buckwheat hulls they have used in the past.

The pillowslip and cover are both beautifully made and the zipper on the cover is so much better than velcro.  You have made a wonderful supportive pillow that is very comfortable.  Thank you, we will certainly tell our family and friends about your products.

Regards,
L. Mallard

"These are the best pillows in the world but they are not a magic pill!  I wholeheartedly believe that they will help most people to sleep and feel better but please...  Exercise, eat healthy foods, get massage, do yoga, and think good thoughts.  Take care of yourself!  Surely, in many ways, you are an important part of our world."

Millet Hull Pillow & Body Pillow Instructions

THANKS FOR PURCHASING MY PRODUCTS!  I want you to enjoy them for many years.  You should know that these pillows are not your average Joes.  They support much better and are much more comfortable than regular foam, feather, or buckwheat pillows… if you know how to use them. 

YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO CONFORM the pillow or body pillow to your head or body.  It only usually takes a few seconds but is REQUIRED for comfort. 

YOU ALSO HAVE TO GET THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF HULLS IN EACH PILLOW.  If it’s too much, take some out and vice versa.  You will know if there are too many hulls in the pillow if your head is not displacing enough area into the pillow… in which case the pillow will be too tight.  If you aren’t getting enough support the pillow will be too lose and you don’t have enough hulls – add more. 

ALSO, PLEASE CLOSE THE ZIPPER ALL THE WAY AND TUCK IT IN DEEP AND TIGHT!  Otherwise it will leak hulls. 

Care:  Wash the case regularly.  If you want to wash the inner case, dump out the hulls first, then refill when clean. 

Thanks so much and enjoy,
Brett Rodgers

Millet hull pillows are the most comfortable, adjustable, natural and supportive pillow in the world!

My natural, un-dyed linen, millet hull pillows are nicer, softer, stronger, more comfortable and better for your head, neck and shoulders than other millet pillows or buckwheat pillows.  Why?  Each pillow is handmade with beautiful un-dyed linen.  I also use premium 100% organic millet hulls.  In addition, each pillow comes with a 100% organic cotton case and extra hulls so that you can adjust the amount of support in your pillow.  They are the best therapeutic pillow that you can buy. 

Many people are familiar with buckwheat hull pillows.  Buckwheat hulls are nice and firm and so they are great for sitting cushions and back & butt supports as well as my therapeutic spine bolsters... but too hard and crunchy (noisy) for pillows!  Some companies are using wool (bad choice - wool is for feet - not faces!) or cotton batting (thick batting will not allow buckwheat hulls to flow well - also a bad choice) as the outer material for buckwheat hull pillows (buckwheat has sharp edges and requires a dense material around it.  I use organic cotton duck material for my sitting cushions).  Some even use wool for millet pillows.  This is illogical and an improper application of those materials!  My competition does not understand how to use these natural products because they are not naturalists like me!  lol.  Buckwheat is too hard and crunchy for sleeping pillows and is best used for other purposes.  One company I've seen is selling buckwheat pillows that have "flattened"  buckwheat!  (now these people are really dorks... lol)  They don't understand anything about millet and buckwheat hulls and the materials that work best with them!  Also, most of the companies selling millet hull and buckwheat hull pillows are selling pillows that are "standard sizes" for beds as in king size, queen size, etc.  This too is illogical.  You see, millet hulls and buckwheat hulls are naturally heavy!  You don't want these pillows to be any bigger than they need to be.  The best size pillow is the one that fits a human head well!  (You see, I work with human heads all the time.  I understand bodies and I understand how millet hulls and buckwheat hulls work.)  The best size millet pillow for human heads is approximately 20" * 20" give or take an inch.  Even this size pillow weighs about 6 pounds!  It is important that you are able to maneuver your pillow in the night with ease and also able to conform it to your head easily.  A square shape millet pillow works well for human heads.  Rectangles do not!  Buy a 26" * 20" pillow and you're adding several pounds of unwanted material and making it a lot tougher to maneuver your pillow in the middle of the night!  More is not better!  Don't buy a millet pillow to fit your pillow cases or to fit your bed size!  Buy one to fit your head!  I know these things from working with the hulls and sleeping on them for many years.
 
Custom sizes
***  If you are an extra big person I can make a custom 21" * 21" for you.  If you are small I can make an 18" * 18".  (No extra charge)  I also now offer a "kids size" or "travel size" millet hull pillow that is 16" * 16".  (See below) 

Why not buy your pillow from someone that truly understands how it actually works?  The difference between them (mass production pillow companies) and me is that they are making pillows just to make money and to give people what they think they will buy...cheap. 
I make them:
1. As an art. 
2. Because I am somewhat egotistical and want to make the best pillow in the world.
3. It makes me feel good to hear about how people love my pillows.
4. Yes, I need to pay my bills.         

"I love it!  The millet is soo comfy for your head compared to buckwheat!  The shipping was super fast too. The case is very soft & the workmanship great. I love supporting small local businesses, thank you.  Will totally recommend your stuff...  Hugs!  Jessica"
 
Like buckwheat hulls, millet hulls are the outer part of a grain.  This is the inedible part of the kernel that is removed and usually discarded.  Buckwheat and millet hulls are a perfect example of one of those things that have an incredible hidden value.  They are the ultimate natural support mechanism!  If you are looking for a comfortable, natural, organic pillow, millet hull pillows are just the ticket! 

"The pillow is fantastic!! I wish I had a whole mattress made out of the millet husks! Thank you for such a well thought out design and high quality product. Sincerely, Laila"
 
They are much more comfortable than buckwheat hull pillows and so therapeutic.  An organic millet hull pillow is soft yet firm at the same time!  Unlike foam and memory foam,  millet pillows are totally safe, natural, non-toxic pillows.  There is no out-gasing of chemicals with natural millet hull pillows!  Yes!  I sleep on one every night.  Millet hull pillows can lay down almost flat for back sleepers and sit up as high as 12 inches to support for side sleepers too!  Also, if you sleep on one of these millet hull pillows you will build muscle in your neck.  It's true.  Your neck muscles will get more toned and stronger each night. 

"Hi Brett, I just wanted to write and thank you for my new pillow.  It's the most comfortable pillow I've ever owned, and will not ever be without it ever, so you better not decide to stop making them, and you better not try to improve on perfection!  I've had the buckwheat (too hard and crunchy), feather (no support and too soft), fiberfill (can never find just the right one) but your is perfect every time.  The quality of the pillow is outstanding, and I love the flannel pillowcase too.  For Christmas this year I'll be ordering one for my wife, each of my parents and a backup for myself!  Thanks again and take care.  Mike"
 
The healing qualities of my organic millet hull pillows are absolutely incredible!  Everyone should sleep on one of them!  If you like buckwheat pillows, you'll love millet hull pillows!  If you prefer natural products for your good health, and who doesn't, millet hull pillows are absolutely the best pillow in the world.
