The Miracle Bamboo Pillow from Ontel features a proprietary blend of shredded memory foam and polyester microfibers encased in a removable polyester liner. The cover is made from a blend of polyester and viscose from bamboo. The pillow has a non-adjustable loft of 5?, and is considered ‘Medium Firm.’
Like other pillows constructed from similar materials, the Miracle Bamboo Pillow offers exceptional temperature neutrality. Good airflow throughout the inner liner helps regulate the pillow’s temperature when it comes into contact with the sleeper’s body heat, and the breathable cover also keeps the surface cool and comfortable for most. The Miracle Bamboo is also highly moldable; as such, it is ideal for those who snuggle with a pillow or prefer to sleep with a pillow between their knees or underneath their legs. And at three and a half pounds, the pillow is relatively light and easy to lift, move, and adjust.
Ontel will ship the Miracle Bamboo to all 50 states, as well as anywhere in Canada. The company backs the pillow with a 60-night trial period. However, the pillow is also available through a wide range of third-party retailers with varying shipping terms and return policies; most offer sleep trials ranging from 30 to 90 nights in length.

Can You Wash the Miracle Bamboo Pillow?

Miracle Bamboo Pillow Care Instructions
Instructions for First Time Use
Miracle Bamboo Pillows do not require any special treatments prior to first-time use. However, fluffing the pillow can help it expand to its full shape after removing it from the package. Additionally, washing and drying the pillow can help minimize initial off-gassing odors.
Cleaning Instructions
Both the pillow cover and inner liner can be washed and dried in machines. However, excessive washing and drying may cause the memory foam to deteriorate quickly. As a result, owners should only wash the liner when necessary. Early deterioration from washing does not appear to be an issue with the cover.
Remove the liner and wash both components together in cold water on a gentle cycle.
Dry the liner and cover on a low tumble setting until both components are completely dry.
Place the liner in the cover and dry the pillow again to re-expand its full shape.
