Although headlined as a pillow for side sleepers, the Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow is a far more flexible solution. It is suitable for everyone. It could even be used to offer raised knee support or “bump support” during late pregnancy.
A key feature of this shredded memory foam pillow is that it is delivered “overstuffed” as a deliberate policy. You will likely want to remove some of the fillings before first use to bring its loft down to the level that suits you.
Features of Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow
Environmental friendly
Despite the over-filling at the point of delivery, in common with many of the pillows in this review, it arrives flat, and vacuum-packed to save on carriage charges. This also helps reduce the environmental impact of transporting your purchase – a smaller package means fewer materials required in packaging, smaller volume for logistics companies, and lighter weight for fuel use.
After you have carefully opened the package, you will need to leave the pillow for a few hours for it to return to its natural size and shape before you even think about removing any filling. You may want to leave it overnight without trying it for size to make sure it reaches its full bulk.
After that, you’ll be able to adjust to the level of filling you think is suitable. Only then can you settle down to a comfortable night’s sleep? Take a few days or weeks to adjust your pillow to give the perfect loft for you.
Perfect Materials
The filling is made from a combination of sizes of shredded memory foam to give a good mix of solidity and softness. The manufacturer takes the view that this mixture will give you plenty of height and support from the larger pieces while the smaller pieces flex and move to fill in the gaps. This means you get the best of both worlds – support, and comfort.
Advantages
The cover is made from washable bamboo rayon which is hygienic and long-lasting. This is becoming a very popular solution for pillow covers. The fabric has naturally odor-resistant and anti-bacterial properties which make it ideal for this purpose.
Not only does it produce a super smooth, dense weave, but it is also pretty enough to use as a regular pillowcase. It works very well to keep your skin cool and dry where it comes into contact.
The entire Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow can be machine washed should you need to that. Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take care to dry your pillow thoroughly before you put it back into use.
However, if you simply feel the need to freshen up the memory foam after a few years of regular use, this can be done by running it through a short cycle in a tumble dryer. Remove the outer cover before you do that.
Xtreme Comfort’s materials are all certified to appropriate safety standards and have been manufactured in a way that avoids a negative impact on the natural environment.
Disadvantages
The combination of foam sizes inside the pillow is seen as an inferior solution by some people who prefer their filling to be more “pure” with a single consistency. The counter-argument is that the combination gives you more options for achieving the level of comfort that you want rather than fewer.
There are also reports that on the first arrival, the pillow gives off chemical or stale aromas which are quite off-putting. If the pillow is removed from the outer cover and left to air naturally, these usually dissipate quickly. Often the smell has seeped into the fabric of the covers. It is a straightforward job to empty out the foam and wash either or both of the covers. Again, make sure everything is fully dried as naturally as possible for use.
