Miracle Bamboo Pillow Review
The Mattress Nerd’s Take: The original Miracle Bamboo Pillow is a memory foam pillow that bills itself as the world’s most comfortable pillow. It’s an “As Seen On TV” type of brand, similar to MyPillow. The company advertises that one pillow will work for all sleeping positions and with either a soft, medium or firm feel.
Still, that’s a lot to ask for a bargain $29.95 pillow. It’s not a lot to pay for a decent pillow, so you have to wonder if the bed pillow can hold up to these promises. Only then can you decide if it is a long-term solution or a waste of money. Ultimately, we feel that the loft level of the Miracle Bamboo pillow is too high for stomach sleepers to sleep comfortably, but it’s good for side and back sleepers. Check out the best pillows for stomach sleepers for better options.
What Makes the Miracle Bamboo Pillow Stand Out
Pros
- The Miracle Bamboo pillow is easy to mold and shape, making it great for mid-sleep readjustments
- The allergy-resistant bamboo fabric cover is also great for the environment and all-natural
- Loftier feel makes it a good pillow for side sleepers who need a bit more elevation for the head and neck
Cons
- The cover of the Miracle Bamboo pillow might not sleep as cool as hot sleepers need
- The Miracle Bamboo pillow doesn’t come with a warranty to protect the purchase, meaning you’re on the hook for a replacement after the 30-day money back guarantee
- The pillow should only be spot-cleaned, making it more difficult to get cleaned

What is the Miracle Bamboo Pillow Made Of?
Bamboo Viscose Cover
The pillowcase of the Miracle Bamboo pillow is woven from the viscose pulled from the natural cellulose fibers from bamboo plants. Because the cover is made from bamboo fibers, the bamboo pillow is breathable, resists bacteria, dust mites and mold, and is hypoallergenic. If you have allergies like me, you’ll be breathing a deep breath of gratitude.
The viscose also feels cool next to your skin and wicks away moisture so the surface also stays dry. The bamboo cover should stay cool and comfortable throughout the night. If you are a hot sleeper, see the best cooling mattresses.
Shredded Memory Foam
The “guts” of the pillow are shredded memory foam fill with some microfiber. To make the pillow softer or firmer – even extra firm, you can unzip the interior and add or subtract the filling to your heart’s content. This should be helpful if you sleep on your side and need to rearrange the filling to cradle your head and shoulders while supporting your neck.
What does the Miracle Bamboo Pillow Feel Like?
The Miracle Bamboo Pillow was designed so that you can decide how firm the pillow should be. There’s also an element of adjustable support: you can remove filling from the inside of the pillow to make the pillow flatter and softer. It’s available in a King size and Queen size, depending on your preferences.
Propped up horizontally, the Miracle Pillow feels most plush. Used flat as a regular pillow, it is considered a medium-firm. Doubled up (folded in half), it is firm and can be used as a bolster for sitting up in bed to read or watch TV. For all-night sleep comfort, we recommend this pillow most for side and back sleepers. Stomach sleepers need a thinner pillow so that the head isn’t bent back in an uncomfortable position, causing neck pain. Check out our recommendations for best pillows for neck pain.
Since the zippered pillow cover is made from a soft-to-the-touch natural fiber, the cellulose of a bamboo plant, it stays relatively cool against your skin and encourages airflow. It has a deluxe, luxurious feel and was designed with cooling and moisture-wicking properties.
But still, memory foam has a reputation for sleeping hot. Even though the cover is built with cooling in mind, the shredded memory foam can’t promise a heat-free night. And whereas another pillow of this price range might come with a washable cover, the Miracle Bamboo pillow is only able to be spot-cleaned.

The Nerd’s Final Take
At face value, the Miracle Bamboo Pillow does deliver on most of its claims. It is moldable. It is washable. It does have a pillow cover derived from natural materials, i.e. viscose from bamboo. It does serve several sleep positions fairly well.
What it doesn’t do, according to some customers, is stay moldable once the special blend of shredded memory foam starts flattening. It’s not the best pillow for hygiene, as it’s difficult to wash. The fabric cover is breathable, ultra-soft and wicks moisture to stay dry, but may not be cool enough for hot sleepers. It’s great for side and back sleepers but may feel too thick for stomach sleepers.
The upside? They are cheap enough to just give a try. You have 30 days to send them back but, even if you don’t like them and forget to do that, you didn’t break the bank.
