1412876 2015-12-15 21:46:00 Well, I just think of it as revenge for all those hours spent trying to get rid of so-called "non-suckering" bamboo on the section we lived on in Auckland... John H (8)
1412877 2015-12-15 22:52:00 Whats wrong with 90-100% cotton. Try that instead .From the bamboo pillow website:



Luxuriously silky...softer than silk, cotton and cashmere
Anti-static, anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic...terrific for skin allergies
Excellent wicking properties for super absorption...great for people with night sweats!
Thermal regulating - warm in winter and cool in summer
Made from organic bamboo - a pesticide free, sustainable and renewable resource
100% biodegradable



It is also supposed to be more socially responsible than cotton, which uses vast amounts of water in its production.

1412879 2015-12-16 00:35:00 Available on the "1 Day Site" today for $20 for 2. Had to happen given the price they have traid to flog them off for.:waughh: Intimations always cost less. Those are the ones the mother inlaw got. Tried them as loan for a week, and while OK the real ones were better.
The ones advertised on 1 day are also smaller they state Size: 60 x 40x 12cm The originals are 76 x 48 - as for thickness-mines around 20cm (almost double)

1412880 2015-12-16 01:03:00 Wainui, are the ones you have shredded memory foam or solid? Tony (4941)
1412881 2015-12-16 02:44:00 Wainui, are the ones you have shredded memory foam or solid? Haven't pulled them apart, but they feel Shredded. Theres a link I posted #9 on the site of Bambillo, there's a Video, and they say Shredded and you can definitely mold them to any shape to suit whats comfortable . The limiting factor is if the Pillow case is to small.

The ones the mother inlaw got (same as 1 day sale, did feel more harder) almost errrrrrr over packed I guess you can say (best way to describe it).

1412882 2015-12-16 03:05:00 WT shouldn't have time on his hands between fixing PC's and afternoon cuppa time :lol:

Been dying to try the drop test they show in TV, raw egg in a bag with the pillow on top, and a bowling ball dropped onto it. Well I dont have a bowling ball, but a full 3.3KG Fire Extinguisher dropped from 1.5 Mtrs should be close enough. :devil

Grrrrrrrr it worked, egg came out without a scratch :annoyed:

It was $79 for 2

feelmybamboopillow.nz just looked at ordering one online but they don't use https so they're out of luck there.

God I hate ads.
You could do that with any pillow....
Bowling bowls and heads are not actually the same weight.

Why don't they just say how it's a natural fibre, the memory foam returns to shape and stuff that actually means something.
And wtf does being 5 months pregnant have to do with anything......

Sheesh.

Sheesh. Blimey someone got out of the wrong side of bed this morning.

Typical response about a product that they have only heard about from others. How can you honestly say you like or dislike a product if you have never tried it ?

in Bold --I'm call BS on that. Some pillows are so thin and unsupported that they wouldn't protect anything including a persons head.

Rather funny that everyone who says they have actually had / got one say they are good. Or maybe we are all just not telling the truth ?
