A bamboo pillow for optimal comfort throughout the night

The pillow is an essential piece of bedding that determines the quality of sleep. It makes it easier to fall asleep and provides a healthy and restful sleep. Its main function is to support the spine and more specifically the cervical spine. In order to always benefit from excellent support and firmness levels, it is advisable to change your pillow every 2 years. Bamboo pillows are becoming increasingly popular on the market due to their softness and flexibility. What are the advantages of a bamboo pillow and how to choose it?

What is a bamboo pillow?

The bamboo pillow available on the market is not directly filled with bamboo fibre. It is its envelope or ticking that is made of this natural and breathable material. It has a natural filling (down, feathers, latex...) or a synthetic filling (memory foam).

Nowadays, many brands are rushing to make bamboo pillows. This fibre is very soft, which gives the pillows a natural elasticity. Bamboo is also antibacterial. Bed linen made from it is therefore healthier and helps to combat allergies. Comptoir du bambou offers you pillows made from its exclusive and innovative material: "Fibre B®". It is a mixture of 70% of the best bamboo species and 30% of Egyptian cotton. These two natural materials have given life to a range of high quality and ultra comfortable bamboo bed linen.

Why choose a bamboo pillow?

The bamboo pillow is an excellent choice for optimal support and comfort. Thanks to the elastic properties of the bamboo fibre, your back, head and neck are perfectly supported while you sleep. Pressure points are relieved, pain and tension disappear. No more repeated waking up at night, you can sleep peacefully. And as soon as you get up in the morning, your bamboo pillow returns to its original shape.

Bamboo fibre is also highly valued for its absorbency, which is 4 times greater than cotton. It is therefore ideal for those who suffer from night sweats. It is also breathable and thermoregulating to keep your head dry and cool. In addition, it neutralises odours caused by perspiration.

And finally, bamboo is a natural, hypoallergenic and antibacterial material. It promises a healthy and comfortable bedding for a peaceful night.
