BAMBOO PILLOWS

Natural materials are an increasingly popular choice for bedding, and bamboo, in particular, has some real benefits over more traditional pillow materials. Bamboo pillows use materials manufactured from bamboo to either fill or cover the pillow pad (or both).

Bamboo materials are:

• Naturally durable
• Breathable
• Cooling
• Antimicrobial; inhibiting the growth of mould, mildew and micro bacteria.
• Hypoallergenic

Bamboo farming practices are also much more sustainable and better for the environment, often requiring less water, fertilizers and pesticides than cotton and other textile crops.

You should always follow the care instructions provided with your pillow, but as a general rule:

• Shredded memory and bamboo fill pillows are usually machine-washable
• Memory foam pillows may be wiped clean with warm, soapy water
• If the bamboo pillow has a removable cover, remove it before washing in warm water with like colours

Bamboo pillows can vary in price from around $50 - $160.

Individual brands and products will vary; however, bamboo pillows will typically last for 2
years. After this time, you may find the pillow pad starts to sag.
