Review on Bamboo Pillow - High-Quality Sleeping Pillows- Memory Foam Pillow with Washable Pillow Case- Adjustable (Standard) by Sheila Vaughn

After an inexplicable week of waiting with no updates, my pillow finally arrived within two days of the initial 'Your item has shipped!' notification. I have had two other "bamboo" pillows so I had certain expectations for this purchase. It is not uncommon for these pillows to have an unpleasant chemical smell of exhaust fumes. Although this pillow had a certain odor, it was no stronger than that attached to garments shipped in plastic bags - noticeable but not overpowering. It was fairly flat and curled up in the middle like a tree trunk. I think if I had read the product description more closely I would have noticed that this particular pillow comes with extra foam that is packaged separately. Since my previous pillow couldn't handle foam fatigue, I set about stuffing additional foam into the pillow. Unlike my previous two pillows, this one had a separate "pocket" in the bamboo cover where you could add or remove foam. Every previous pillow has been sewn around the edges so you get what you got. Ten minutes of somersaults in the dryer on low speed gave me enough water for my first night's sleep. Warning: Adding excess foam and presumably removing existing foam can be messy. Unlike some pillows that use rather large, irregularly shaped chunks of foam, this pillow is filled with very fine, almost fluffy, foam that sticks to anything. I've been using the pillow for about a week now. It held up well and restored the head and neck alignment I had lost when my old pillows broke. Thanks to the increased volume, I didn't suffer from melted pillow syndrome, where the heat generated by my head not only transmitted through the pillow but also caused my head to sink lower as the foam expanded, making me even hotter became . It hasn't gotten very hot yet, so I need more time to properly appreciate how it reacts to different ambient temperatures, both hotter and colder. Currently, only the relatively short amount of time I have to sleep on it keeps me from getting a higher score.
