So, what are bamboo pillows?

Bamboo pillows refer to pillows that are crafted using a blend of bamboo fibres and other materials. It is typically the cover or casing made from bamboo-derived fabric – combined with a variety of fill materials, from supportive memory foam to squishy polyfill.

You might wonder why bamboo is chosen for the pillow cover – and does it matter? The answer is yes, due to the benefits discussed in this article. They’re good for you and your health and spectacular for the planet: bamboo is a durable fabric, meaning pillows are less likely to end up in landfills, and it is one of the most sustainable resources available. Requiring only a third of the water that cotton needs to grow, it also sequesters carbon and regenerates quickly after being cut down. Bamboo fabric is also biodegradable, so if you’re eco-conscious, then it really is the perfect pillow option.

What are the benefits of bamboo pillows?

We mentioned that bamboo has a lot of benefits – and a bamboo pillow captures plenty of these. Soft to the touch and perfect for those with even the most sensitive skin, bamboo pillows are hypoallergenic, too. They offer excellent breathability, allowing for airflow and moisture absorption, which helps regulate temperature and keep sleepers cool throughout the night. Do you love that ‘fresh side of the pillow’ feeling? You’ll get to experience it so much more when you choose bamboo! Naturally antibacterial and resistant to dust mites, you’ll be in for your healthiest sleep yet.

When combined with a filling like memory foam, you’ll be cocooned in supportive comfort. Bamboo pillows are designed to provide a balance that helps to promote a restful and rejuvenating sleep experience – keeping your spine and neck aligned while being delightfully comfortable. Another benefit of bamboo pillows is how they retain their shape and firmness over time, adding to how durable they are.

Comparing bamboo pillows to other types

When compared to traditional pillows made from materials like down, cotton, or synthetic fibres, bamboo pillows stand out for their unique combination of comfort and sustainability. While down pillows may offer softness, they can trigger allergies and are not environmentally friendly. Cotton pillows are breathable but may lack the support and durability of bamboo pillows. Synthetic pillows can be affordable – but of course, they don’t have all those fantastic natural properties like breathability and the hypoallergenic benefits found in bamboo pillows.

Even when discussing fill types like memory foam, it is important to note that these are not always the most beneficial when not combined with bamboo. One reason is that memory foam naturally retains heat – but when the outer cover of the pillow is made from bamboo, this heat retention is combatted! That’s what makes it such a brilliant material choice.

How should you care for and maintain a bamboo pillow?

Bamboo pillow covers are typically removable, which is great news! This means they’re washable, meaning they are super hygienic and easily retain their natural benefits like being antibacterial and hypoallergenic. And don’t forget, bamboo gets softer with every wash. You should refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when it comes to both washing your bamboo pillow cover, and cleaning the pillow as a whole. Memory foam can’t get wet, for example, but some pillow inners can go in the washing machine. It’s always important to follow the instructions as best you can. With bamboo pillowcases, wash them low with an eco-friendly detergent, then dry them outside on the line for best results.

Be sure to replace your bamboo pillow when need be, in order to continue experiencing the best sleep possible. These pillows last for years, but if they look visibly stained, have a bad smell or no longer feel comfortable then it might be time to order a replacement bamboo pillow!
