How to fluff a Bamboo Pillow in 5 Minutes or Less.

If you have been searching for a long time for the perfect pillow, you will most likely have come across the claims a Bamboo Pillow makes, and more likely than not have enjoyed its plush comforts.Many of these pillows are tightly rolled, compressed, or even vacuum sealed prior to shipping, leaving you with a product that seems less than full and comfortable looking.

The pillows will fluff up on their own, but others may need a little help.If you have ever wondered how to fluff a bamboo pillow, read on for a step-by-step guideline and why you should do it.Your bamboo pillow will benefit from this attention as well.

A bamboo pillow is called such because of the bamboo fibers used to create a uniquely plush, soft, naturally-cooling sleep surface.Most of these types of pillows use shredded memory foam blend in order to provide a softer feel that can be adjusted to fit a wide variety of sleep positions and comfort needs.

It can be compressed or worn out over time, like any other filling.When not allowed to decompress, the quality of memory foam can become slightly flattened.Luckily, the number of air pockets created by the memory foam shreds and soft filling makes fluffing these types of pillows easy and hassle-free.

It's a good idea to fluff your pillows by hand every now and then to allow for any compression that may occur due to sleeping.Every evening before you go to bed or wake up, it's a good idea to toss it.

The pillows will start to flatten due to the moist nature of your body.This may increase how quickly it flattens if you live in a humid environment.If you let it sit in the sun or use a dryer every so often, it will be dried out.

You should fluff your pillow every now and then in the dryer to refresh it.It will help get rid of dust mites if you plump it up.

Before a good night's rest, most people plump their pillows.Due to the heavier material within, you will want to take a few extra seconds to aerate and separate the memory foam shreds.

Give your pillow a good shake and flip it over a few times to break up any memory foam shreds that may be pushed up against one another.This allows room for the shreds to spread out.If you have a polyfill or other similar type soft fiber blended with your shredded foam, this will allow it to distribute more evenly within the pillow.

If your pillow is shaking up, turn it on its long side and give it a karate chop like punch.This helps break the filling up even more and allows the shreds to lay differently.

Grab hold of each short end with both hands and push the ends together.If you do all three of these movements, you will be able to affect each shred, allow full expansion of the foam and fiberfill, and help air out the pillow.

You may experience an off-gassing odor after unpacking your new Bamboo Pillow.The smell is normal for products that have been tightly compressed and wrapped for a long time.

The smell usually goes away after a few hours.You can speed up the process by placing the item in the sun for a few hours to give it a fresh, sunny, outdoor smell.

You can put the pillow in the dryer to help rid it of odors.A dryer helps to plump your pillow along while refreshing it, and it is a suggestion to follow every few weeks or so to help keep it lasting longer.The dryer is a great way to make sure the pillow doesn't get drawn into the body and start to flatten out over time.

The bamboo pillowcases have an insert that holds the pillow filling.Even if the rest of the pillow isn't dryable, this can be washed completely.To wash and dry, be sure to remove this.

If you have dryer balls, put the pillow in the dryer.I highly recommend you get some since they are inexpensive and can be used with anything you need to toss in the dryer to keep items separate.They help cut down on static and are a great alternative to dryer sheets.If you use the wool versions for a pleasant laundry scent, you should use a few drops of essential oils on them.If you don't know if essential oil is right for you, you should speak with a physician.

If you want to refresh your pillow, tumble it alone with dryer sheets for 10 to 40 minutes.If your dryer has that control, be sure to use a low heat or no heat cycle.The movement will help separate the air pockets.The dryer balls will help plump the pillow up even more.

You can put the pillow back in the case after removing it from the dryer.After removing it, I like to shake it and use Step 3 under Hand Plumping to get it nice and fluffy.

bamboo pillows allow you to adjust your pillow in a number of ways.Many people take out a little bit of filling in order to provide a less lofty fill.If you keep this filling, you can use it to refresh your pillow in the future.

Since you can remove the filling to mix it up and help with the plumping up process, pillows that have this feature have an advantage over others.All you have to do is remove the majority of it and place it in a larger bag.Place it back inside after shaking it up.Adding lavender essential oil or any other oil scent that supports sleep can be done during this time.

Keeping your pillow clean and healthy is part of the entire process of a long, plump, pillow life.Some bamboo pillow directions state they are not washed.There is a conflict of information surrounding fill materials.The general rule of thumb when it comes to memory foam is that it doesn't last very long.It will cause the material to compress when it breaks down.Unless absolutely necessary, it is best to avoid saying that a pillow is washable.

If you have to wash it, be sure to follow the directions on the pillow and run it through a dry cycle multiple times until you are sure it is completely dry.If you live in a humid environment or are concerned about washing your pillow, we recommend that you use a pillow protector.

You can expect a longer life of your pillow if you follow the above instructions.Finding a pillow that works well for you can be a challenge and having to replace it is never a good scenario to look forward to.
