Whether you get hot and sweaty easily, you're prone to neck pain,
or you simply like a little added comfort, investing in a shredded memory foam
pillow is a great way to round out your bed linens. As you start shopping around
for the best shredded memory foam pillows, it helps to keep a few key
considerations in mind.
First, think about your personal sleeping habits. Firmer,
medium-size bamboo pillow queen size pillows tend to be better for side
sleepers, while back and stomach sleepers will be more comfortable with softer
pillows that are a bit thinner. If you can find one with adjustable loft,
that's even better
Next, think about breathability. Shredded memory foam tends to be
cooler to begin with, but there are also extra cooling properties available for
folks who are especially prone to overheating. Charcoal memory foam is
deodorizing, which makes it great for reducing odor. As for the cover, bamboo
tends to be more breathable, while Tencel (a material that's made from dried
wood pulp) king pillows absorbs moisture better to keep you from feeling sweaty.
Lastly, consider some additional qualities of the pillow's cover.
Is the material soft and hypoallergenic? It's the part that touches your face,
so this is important. Also, is it removable and machine-washable? You'll want
to make sure it's easy to wash, so that you'll actually do so regularly.
What's great about it: If you're one of
those people who hates the feeling of sinking into overly soft bed linens,
this extra-firm
memory foam pillow will be the perfect fit. It's
made with shredded, orthopedic memory foam that's hypoallergenic and designed
to stay firm, better aligning your head and neck with your spine. Not only that
but it also has a convenient zipper that lets you add or remove foam from the
inside to get it to the exact loft density you prefer. As for the cool bamboo
cover, it's removable and machine-washable.
