5 reasons you should make the switch to a bamboo pillow now

Promotional feature with Panda

You might be familiar with bamboo in your home – as bowls, furniture or even toothbrushes – but did you know that bamboo can help you get a better night’s sleep? Check out these reasons for upgrading your bedroom with a bamboo pillow.

1. Bamboo is a sustainably grown plant

A fast-growing grass, bamboo doesn’t need fertiliser and even self-regenerates from its own roots, so doesn’t have to be replanted. Compared to some fabrics, which can require large amounts of water and pesticides, this makes bamboo one of the most sustainable fibres around. And it has some amazing natural properties that make it ideal for bedding. 

Panda London’s pillows all have sustainable, hypoallergenic 100% bamboo covers that wrap around a comfy memory foam pillow. But the company goes even further in its eco credentials. Its bamboo is organically grown and ethically sourced, and only supplied from approved forests. Plus, the environmental impact is reduced at every stage of a product’s lifecycle, from forest to front door. Each bamboo pillow is delivered in a recycled and recyclable box, and every purchase will help to protect the rainforest.

When your pillow has given you years and years of great sleep, Panda London will collect it for free thanks to their Circle Of Life Programme, turning the memory foam into sofa filling, toys, cushions, mats and playground matting. Or, if the pillow can be reused, it’s cleaned thoroughly and donated to charity.

2. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial

As clever fibres go, bamboo is one of the smartest. Not only is it naturally antibacterial – no additives needed – it’s inhospitable to micro-organisms and parasites, such as dust mites and bed bugs. This is great if you or your little ones are prone to allergies.

These antibacterial properties make bamboo perfect for pillow covers and skin. Panda London’s BambooCloud™ covers are removable and washable too, with a soft and soothing texture that feels like resting your head on a cloud. You could call it luxury at home, naturally.

3. The fibres are breathable

Like cotton, bamboo is naturally breathable, wicking moisture away from the skin. However, unlike cotton, bamboo allows moisture to evaporate quickly – so on hot summer nights, a bamboo pillow will keep you feeling cool. 

The perfect partner for a bamboo pillow cover is the Hybrid Bamboo Pillow, which uses charcoal infused, pressure sensitive memory foam to support your neck and spine as you sleep. Active O2 Micro-pods™ maximise airflow and keep you and your pillow feeling fresh throughout the night, creating the ultimate comfort experience. This is a sustainable luxury, designed following years of research and compassion for the natural world. 

4. Bamboo is hypoallergenic

While some fabrics can irritate the skin, bamboo is hypoallergenic, making it perfect for people with sensitive skin or allergies. It’s all thanks to bamboo’s fibres, which are smooth and round with no rough edges, making it feel softer than silk. The Hybrid Bamboo Pillow has another trick up its sleeve - their unique CharcoCell™ memory foam, the charcoal infusion naturally neutralises odours for maximum hygiene and freshness. Panda London’s bamboo covers are also soft, anti-bacterial, and naturally luxurious – yet they can still be washed at up to 40 degrees. 

5. It’s strong and long-lasting 

Don’t let bamboo’s light feel fool you – it’s actually incredibly durable and will stay looking great wash after wash. No surprise then that these award winning bamboo pillows have a 10-year guarantee, so you can be sure they’ll stay supportive and free from faults. That’s a lot of dreamy sleep you can look forward to.

In addition, all Panda London pillows have free delivery, and a 30-night trial, so you can try them and return for a full refund if you don’t love the sleep experience. Panda London will even cover the return postage costs.
