Let’s play a lil game: What is six feet tall (well, not exactly, but stay with me here), always keeps its cool, and knows how to make your body feel good? Although this might sound like that one Bumble match who got away, allow me to instead introduce you to your newest sleeping partner: the bamboo pillow.

The ultra-durable fibers naturally found in bamboo are used to create these plush bbs (usually the outer layer or pillow cover, to be exact), and to be completely honest, they're a *major* upgrade from your current sleeping sitch. This naturally thermoregulating and breathable fabric (aka bamboo-derived viscose) means you can finally avoid the nightmare that is flopping over like a fish in order to find the cool side of the pillow.

In addition to their cooling benefits, bamboo pillows are hypoallergenic, silky smooth against the skin, moisture-wicking, static-free, odor-resistant, *and* eco-friendly. Damn, what else do you need?

Now that you're filled in on just how ah-mazing bamboo pillows are, let’s get to the good stuff. From an on-the-go travel pillow to a full-body total relaxation bolster, we've rounded up some of the best bamboo pillows to help you stay cool as a cucumber and snug as a bug.

Wanna feel like you're sleeping at a fancy five-star hotel every night—ya know, the kind with embroidered robes, all-white bedding, and pillows seemingly made from the fluffiest clouds? Well, this pillow will give you all the luxe vibes, minus the outrageous minibar charge. The breathable bamboo-blend cover and adjustable memory foam filling is what's gonna leave you feeling freshly pampered night after night.

Over 1,000 five-star reviewers attribute the cooling comfort of this bamboo body pillow to sleeping like an absolute baby. The full body shape, which, btw, is made from a fluffy shredded foam filling, gives you much-needed support, no matter your preferred sleeping style. Meanwhile, the cooling-effect of the bamboo cover works to keep you from waking up drenched in sweat. A total win-win!

Glowing Review: “The pillow is SO comfortable! it stays cool even in the heat of southern California! It's just weighty enough to feel like a hug. Would 100% buy again.”

If you wake up in the morning unable to turn your neck without reaching for a bottle of Advil, then this is *the* pillow for you. Its tube-shaped design is covered in cooling bamboo fabric, so it perfectly fits in the nape of your neck without leaving you all gross and clammy. Plus, at under $15, this one is a steal.  

Glowing Review: “It’s legit 3:05 a.m. and I woke to go use the BR and I’m like this pillow is THE ABSOLUTE BEST THING EVER, and I must review it NOW. I have never ever been able to sleep on a regular pillow, but I continued to try. As of late I started noticing recurring neck pain when I would wake as a result of tossing/turning all night TRYING my damndest to find my sweet spot. I remember waking and immediately holding my neck as it would hurt and feel all springy…FINALLY THIS one arrived and immediately when I tested it, I was amazed at how natural it felt.”

Goldilocks got a bad rap when it came to her sleep preferences, but she 100% had it right. You should *never* settle for anything less than just right, and this adjustable shredded memory foam-filled pillow means you won’t have to ever worry about your pillow being too hard or too soft. A true storybook ending, if you ask me.

Glowing Review: “First off, I want to say the family that runs this company is so sweet. The customer service this company provides is so amazing. They truly know how to run a company. Now these pillows were gifted to us, and let me tell you they are the best pillows I have ever tried. For so long I tried to find the perfect pillows, but now these are my go to. I will gift these to friends, they are so versatile for any sleeper since you can take out the filling to your liking.”

This wedge pillow is basically a miracle for back dozers. It helps prevent you (or your partner) from snoring like crazy, plus it can bring some acid reflux relief, and it props you up while you binge the latest season of Love Island from bed. The wedge design with breathable bamboo cover has over 4,000 five-star ratings, so don’t just take our word for it, trust the internet on this one.

Glowing Review: “I mainly got this pillow to help me sit up a little while sleeping to try to bring my snoring down. Not only did it help that, I also haven't woken up with heartburn since using this pillow.”

Hour-long Zoom meetings that could have been an email, road tripping cross country with your BFFs, and sitting through eight-hour flights are just a few reasons why you should add this bamboo seat cushion to your Amazon cart ASAP. The added cush for your tush can relieve pressure while improving your posture too. Glowing Review: “I started having really bad muscle spasms and back pains after giving birth to my daughter. This cushion has helped so much not just with my pain but also with my posture. I have a desk job and I sit on the computer for 10 hours a day. No more pain when I get up!!! This is a must buy. It's firm but comfy. I'm getting one for my car next :).”

Some of life’s best things come in pairs: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, fuzzy socks, and this ultra-plush set of bamboo pillows. Perfect for you and your S.O., this pillow offers firm support at an absolute steal. Now you and your partner can get back to arguing over which one of you really hogs the duvet at night. 

Glowing Review: “LOVE LOVE LOVE! My husband and I used to toss and turn at night, always flipping out pillows trying to rest on the fluffy part when the pillow would flatten over time. But all that changes with these pillows… Great neck support and best of all the pillow doesn’t get hot from your body.”

Finally booked that life-changing trip to Europe in order to ~find yourself~? Or maybe you're just taking the train to visit your parents for a long weekend and some free home cooking? Whatever your travel plans are, you NEED to clip this bamboo neck pillow onto your carry-on bag. Not having a stiff neck upon arrival is actually better than flying first class.   

Glowing Review: “I have often neck and headaches after several hours of flight or bus travels. I decided to try this product and see what happens. So I tried it, after long hours of travels I had no headaches at all, plus a smooth and refreshing sleep helped me a lot during the rest of my day.”

Most bamboo pillows have a memory foam fill, which you might find a bit too supportive for your liking. If this sounds like you, definitely check out one of the adjustable filling options on our list, so you can add or remove as much foam as your heart (and head) desire.

Since the benefits of the bamboo are on the outer layer, you don’t have to add a case to your new pillow. But if you wanna go for the whole ~aesthetic~ there are plenty of bamboo bedding options to choose from.

Bamboo viscose is known to shrink a little, so just double check the care tag before you end up fighting for your life to get that cover back on.
