Something that has been around for quite some time now, which I feel deserves much more praise, is the Bamboo Pillow, or Bamboo Pillow Casing and Cover.
Bamboo is an all-natural fiber with so many exceptional health benefits, and to top it off. It is an entirely vegan and cruelty-free product that is healthy not only for you but for the environment as well.
Bamboo Pillow Benefits
Before we start, let’s just set the facts straight, Bamboo Pillows are called such, because their cover, and not the fill of the Pillow is manufactured from woven bamboo fibers.
The Pillow itself is usually filled with latex or memory foam, or even other natural fillings such as Buckwheat or cotton. Likewise, Bamboo Pillow Covers are more Popular, and to be much more useful, as they allow you to choose your pillow option.
Here are a few superb benefits of the Bamboo Pillow
- Most bamboo memory foam pillows are filled with high quality and supportive fill that provides excellent support, as well as good back and neck alignment.
- Bamboo is a natural antimicrobial and antibacterial fiber that creates a healthy environment for you to sleep on.
- Bamboo is likewise hypoallergenic and ideal for individuals who suffer from allergies.
- Dust mite accumulation will also be a thing of the past when it comes to bamboo pillows.
- Bamboo itself is very absorbent so that it will aid to wick away moisture from your skin.
- Last but not least, bamboo pillows can control temperatures, keeping you cool in summer and warm in the wintertime.
Best Pillow Shapes and Sizes According to Your Sleep Position
Your sleeping position does affect your choice of the Pillow in a significant way. As all bamboo Pillows only have a Bamboo casing or cover, you still need to consider the filling.
When sleeping, in whatever position is most comfortable for you, the main factor is for your head, neck, and shoulders to be entirely supported, and your spine correctly aligned.
For this reason, every sleeping position requires a particular pillow type or loft.
When laying on your back, your spine is in a more neutral position, and your head needs to be kept level with your shoulders, so flatter and a less firm pillow is required.
Sleeping on your stomach is not suitable for your spine any which way, although, for the best results, a very thin and soft pillow is required keeping your head and neck as flat as possible.
Last but not least, the most common sleeping position, side sleeping. For this position you need to keep your head neck and shoulders completely level for the best support, here, unlike with back and stomach sleeping, you need a more firm, contoured and thicker Pillow.
