Have you recently purchased a bamboo pillow with a chemical smell when you first opened the packaging?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bamboo pillows smell because they are typically filled with shredded memory foam<\/a> that is manufactured using polyurethane<\/a> and other chemicals. The chemical smell some pillows release is known as “off-gassing” and is created by the pillow being encased in packaging and not being able to breathe. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intensity of the smell can be affected by the types of chemicals used and the density of the foam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some bamboo pillows contain bamboo fiber filling which is more breathable than memory foam and may emit fewer off-gassing odors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
