Meh two pillowsJust have to make sure a Panda doesn’t get in your car and eat these pillows made for traveling since they are bamboo memory foam pillows.
Bought these a while back… very hard (firm) and uncomfortable… I’ll say like a year later… they are just starting to get softer, but still sort of lumpy. I stick to the cheapo regular pillows for 2 or 3 bucks and throw them out when they turn into a pancake.
Hard pass
@mcemanuel Honestly, just get a quality memory foam pillow, like the ones sold at Macy’s. Very comfortable, and will last many years without changing at all.
@mcemanuel@Kurotwotails The reviews of the other pillows they make repeatedly say they are hard as a rock until you fluff them in the dryer with something in there with them to bash around as they fluff.
@mcemanuel@ShotgunX - Aldi actually has had a great ‘travel pillow’ for sale sometimes, it’s actually a zip-up thing you can use as a beach bag but unzips into a - I guess you’d say a mat. Anyway depending what you put in it it makes a decent pillow, nice multifunctional kind of thing.
@ravenblack You are probably even more disappointed that the “bamboo” is most likely not really bamboo, but rayon–chemically extracted and altered cellulose from bamboo.
That last picture sold me. I had not realized that you could wear one of these as a necklace. I’m gonna take that blue number, wear it around my neck, and go down to Lafayette Park across from the White House. I’ll be part of the blue wave.
I have these, not comfortable to sleep on, but if you have neck issues it’s the perfect size to fit behind your neck or on your should to provide a bit of relief without sinking too low. I primarily use it on the couch and it does help.
Reviews of other pillows they make repeatedly state they are hard and that you have to put them in the dryer on air with a tennis shoe or something to fluff them up and soften them.
Bought the first bamboo pillows meh sold which everyone panned. After beating the shit out of them and putting them in the dryer, they turned out great and have been using them ever since. Hotel pillows are too soft so will try any type of travel pillow that will prevent me from having to sleep on them. BTW-am going on a cruise where one of the perks of the cabin we are in is a pillow menu which means I don’t have to drag my travel pillows with me.
I have the big pillow & love them. You do have to fluff them but they are great afterwards. I have a very bad back they work great for me. I have the MyPillow too & prefer these over them (I like them too).

Meh two pillows
Just have to make sure a Panda doesn’t get in your car and eat these pillows made for traveling since they are bamboo memory foam pillows.
I’ve never been on a plane, and I rarely take any sort of vacation. Oh, and I’ve slept in hotels on less than 5 different occasions.
I’m starting to feel like I’m not Mehs target audience.
/wootstalker https://shirt.woot.com/offers/not-what-i-meant
Not what I meant
Price: $19.00
Condition: Probably New
@PlacidPenguin Wait…you have NEVER been on a plane?
@mfladd
Correct.
Not even as a baby penguin.
@mfladd
Or in a plane.
@mfladd @PlacidPenguin C’mon, we all know penguins can’t fly!
@cinoclav @mfladd
Hence the t-shirt I linked to.
Hotel life sucks!
@norman8 Well, of course…once the hookers and blow are all gone.
@therealjrn
Those were the days!
What a waste
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, still shame on me.
Can’t fool me three times, because I don’t have any more money left after spending it all on pillows on which I can’t actually sleep.
@ShotgunX what? It can’t be “still shame on me” if the first time was “shame on you” the"still" requires you screwing yourself at least twice
@unksol Yeah oops, meant to say “me” both times.

@mcemanuel @ShotgunX I bought a pillow for twelve bucks at Walmart and love it. I’m never buying those two buck ones again.

Are these like the MyPillow? Do these kinds of pillows have a reputation of going flat fast?
@JT954 nothing like MyPillow.

@t0nyc0tt4m Worst. Giphy. Ever.
@t0nyc0tt4m K pop worst music evah
@t0nyc0tt4m Changed.
I am irrationally angry at the proliferation of products calling themselves “bamboo” then quietly revealing the fabric is less than 50% bamboo.
@ravenblack You are probably even more disappointed that the “bamboo” is most likely not really bamboo, but rayon–chemically extracted and altered cellulose from bamboo.
@ravenblack @pafloogled It is illegal to do it, actually, here is the FTC page about it.
@bdb @pafloogled @ravenblack So, you wanna make a federal case out of it…?
@bdb @pafloogled @phendrick No, I just want it to be an actual bamboo fabric case!
This sounds like a good idea, because you know who has sweated, upchucked, and otherwise secreted on the pillows you bring.
OH MY GOD POLYESTER! Do you know how many dinosaurs died to make these pillows?
@sammydog01 I know, right!
And still, we wiped out the naugas in the 70s.
@mike808 @sammydog01 That’s because they didn’t know where to hide.
That last picture sold me. I had not realized that you could wear one of these as a necklace. I’m gonna take that blue number, wear it around my neck, and go down to Lafayette Park across from the White House. I’ll be part of the blue wave.
I’m going to try these as knee pillows.
/giphy frankly-feathered-trapper
@sammydog01
Not going to ask why you’re down on your knees so much you need pillows.
Seems useful. I do need some pillows in my car for in-school napping.
/image pristine-totally-seashore
@Dizavid That would make them in-car napping.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHEEZE…HAHAHAHAHA!
for those wondering, yes these pillows are very uncomfortable, they are dumb stiff. might as well sleep on a brick.
Won’t switch from my buckwheat pillow.
Beans72.com is my go to shop. Pass.
Read consumers reports. Bamboo based products are so much processed, no bamboo attribute left. More like BigBoo…
Video review (paid in some way) that makes me want to not buy it.
/giphy lethargic-quarrelsome-fog
I missed out on the last knee support pillows… these should be a good substitute.
@jnicholson0619 The knee support pillows are actually too squishy. These should be just about the right size.
I’ll stick with my Wife’s “Dirty Pillows”…
I have these, not comfortable to sleep on, but if you have neck issues it’s the perfect size to fit behind your neck or on your should to provide a bit of relief without sinking too low. I primarily use it on the couch and it does help.
Can I remove the “do not remove” tag??!!?!?!
@Jaicienil Only under penalty of law unless you are the consumer. And if you’re consuming these pillows you should really submit an application to My Strange Addiction.

Those aren’t pillows!!!
I bought two of the full kingsized versions of these. Not very memory-foamy-soft. More like a large bolt of linen.
Reviews of other pillows they make repeatedly state they are hard and that you have to put them in the dryer on air with a tennis shoe or something to fluff them up and soften them.
Glad I read the comments first, I have a shredded memory foam pillow that’s like sleeping on a cloud. Sucks that these are super hard.

Paid before reading comments: Guess I’ll be drying some pillows and rocks. finite gushing boundary
when you know meh is catching a breather after fukus

But you can definitely have none!

Travel a lot and HATE the down pillows that you get so I ask for foam pillows. Those aren’t much better at all so we’ll try anything.
when are the fukus
AND what are the fukus
AND how do I get one
