Textiles can only be called bamboo if they are made directly from actual bamboo fiber. Textiles made from rayon (or viscose, which is the same thing) that was created using bamboo as a plant source may be labeled and advertised as “rayon (or viscose) made from bamboo.
I have these. They’re very not bad. Not quite filled enough to be perfect. But reasonably firm and reasonably comfortable. They’re better than a rolled up towel, but not as good as the travel pillow I bought at Brookstone circa 1998.
@xarophti Did you buy them from Meh, by any chance? I bought these way back when and I’m still sleeping on them today. Best pillows I ever bought and possibly my best Meh purchase overall.
@lljk No, I didn’t actually. But those seem to be the ones. One of mine is a little more solid than the other & I want to take a bit of foam out, but I like them.
If you’re serious about your travel pillow, this buckwheat pillow is the absolute best one around. I still mourn the loss of mine on a flight out of JFK. I don’t fly as much since, so I haven’t needed a replacement.
I bought these last time, planted them in my backyard, and nothing after 4 months. Buyer be warned!
@flehm you got off easy. Bamboo takes over your yard and is impossible to get rid of.

How do I sleep on flights?
13 years in the military. Not worth the time to get the ability but if you do that sort of time it’s a small bonus.

@mediocrebot Tired you say? Good thing I have some travel pillows on the way!
I thought we couldn’t keep calling rayon bamboo?
@darkzrobe I don’t know how they keep doing that either. There was a huge fine for Amazon, Macy’s, Sears, and Kmart for that exact problem. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2013/01/four-national-retailers-agree-pay-penalties-totaling-126-million

Glad you get two!!! One to shit on and one to cover it up with…

Hope they are softer than the big ones…
“Bamboo Based”
Wut?
I have one of these. It’s actually very comfortable. I recommend buying a cover for them. You can get covers on Amazon.
@davidwr99 The specs at the top of this thread say this is included:
It doesn’t show up in any of the product photos, though.
@davidwr99 @lljk If it is like the (terrible) large pillows that were sold here the outer layer that claims bamboo is the outer removable cover.
A bamboo filled travel pillow reminds me to stay out of China, and not to buy.

The memory foam is not bamboo based. The cover fabric is partially made from bamboo. I have a larger pillow looks just like this.

@lljk @xarophti I bought two of those… my wife and I still sleep with them every night as well! We love them.
