How to Fluff a Bamboo Pillow

If you have ever had a long and arduous search for the perfect pillow, you have most likely come across the claims a Bamboo Pillow makes, have been intrigued, and more likely than not have enjoyed its plush comforts. However, upon purchase, many of these pillows are tightly rolled, compressed, or even vacuum sealed prior to shipping- leaving you with a product that seems less than full and comfortable looking.

Often, upon opening, these pillows will begin to fluff up on their own, but others may need a slight helping hand. If you have ever wondered how to fluff a king bamboo pillow properly, read on for a step-by-step guideline, and why you should do so. Over time, your bamboo pillow will also benefit from this attention as well.

Bamboo Pillow Construction

A Bamboo Pillow is called such due to the bamboo fibres used in the casing to create a uniquely plush, soft, naturally-cooling, hypoallergenic sleep surface. Most of these types of pillows use a shredded memory foam or shredded memory foam blend in order to provide a malleable, softer feel that can be manipulated or adjusted to fit a wide variety of sleep positions and comfort needs.

Like any other filling, it can be compressed either purposely or start to show wear through use over time. Since the quality of memory foam is specific for contouring and shaping purposes, it can become slightly flattened when not allowed to decompress. Luckily, the number of air pockets created by the memory foam shreds and soft filling makes fluffing these types of pillows easy and hassle-free.

When should I fluff my Bamboo Pillow?

Fluffing all your pillows should be done by hand regularly to allow for any compression that occurs due to you sleeping upon it to relax. In fact, every evening before you go to bed or each morning upon waking- it cannot hurt to give it a slight toss.

Pillows of any sort will begin to flatten due to moisture that naturally occurs from your body. If you live in a more humid environment, then this may increase how quickly it seems to flatten. Because of this, letting it sit in the sun or by using a dryer every so often should ensure it is well dried out.

Plus, you should fluff your pillow every so often in the dryer to help refresh it. You plump it up, and it will help get rid of any lingering allergens- such as dust mites.
