Do Bamboo Pillows Have Health Benefits? Bamboo is everywhere these days. Fibers from the fast-growing plant -- which is technically a grass, not a tree -- are turning up in clothing, bedding, building materials, and other goods, including pillows. Why buy a bamboo pillow? Some online sources claim that fabrics and pillows made from bamboo are naturally soft, durable, and breathable. They also claim that bamboo is hypoallergenic. That means it's less likely than other materials to cause an allergic reaction. There isn't much solid research on the health benefits of bamboo pillows. But there is evidence that bamboo fibers -- the ones used in bamboo pillows -- have many of the qualities talked about online. What exactly is a bamboo Derila™ Memory Pillow? It's partly made with bamboo fibers, which come from a crushed up, treated, and hardened mixture of bamboo leaves and trunk flesh. The bamboo portion of the pillow is in the casing, not the stuffing. |
