Bambillo The Original 8-in-1
Verified446 reviews
Where is the bamboo? – Don't get Baboozaled read the label there is no bamboo in this pillow I found it was too high for me so we undid the stitching and removed some of the stuffing which was just little bits of polyester foam then we read the label the pillow is all polyester Show details
Rubbish – It falsely claims on the box that it can be shaped into 8 different types of contour pillow. It's complete nonsense, it's just a standard pillow, it doesn't do anything special and certainly doesn't act like a contoured pillow as pictured on the box. I tried leaving a review on the bambillo website but they refused to post a negative review which is why I'm now leaving reviews on objective review sites. Show details

Great pillows – Used to suffer with a lot of neck pain until I started using Bambillo pillows to sleep Was a bit apprehensive at first because they seemed bulkier than my usual pillows but now wouldn’t be without one!
Wow, what a pillow. Super supportive, super comfortable. Will get another – Wow, what a pillow. Super supportive, super comfortable. I was lucky to get it as at a good price. I ran it throught the cloths drier on airing cycle, no heat, to fluff up. I Will get another. Show details
Great pillows – We purchased Bambillo pillows approx 2 years ago. Very comfortable and supportive. Best pillows we have had. Have recommended them to family and friends. Jpust a shame standard size pillow cases dont fit. Show details

Stiff neck from these pillows – My God I will never sleep on this pillow again,woke up this morning with a severe headache,and my neck was so stiff ,these pillows are crap never again been on antin -flammatories all day so my answer is don't purchase them, I have them on all my beds 4 exactly as they will be used as decorative pillows Show details
Would never buy again – The pillows look good, feel good, and promise to be 8 in 1. This claim is not supported by any evidence, and though I tried, it was just like any other pillow. Will take to the dump. Show details

My partner doesn't snore so loud! – Firstly I am in wait list for spinal fusion surgery for my neck. finding a pillow was impossible I've spent hundreds of $$$ on getting one that doesn't make my neck seize up over night... This pillow not only has got me more sleep it's stopped my muscles seizing. And a double bonus my partner doesn't snore nearly as loud!! I'm not affiliated with this business at all. Real feed back! 100% we bought some for travel! Show details
SCAM. AVOID THIS PRODUCT AND COMPANY – What prompted me to buy this was the "8-in-1" adjustability advertised on the box. I am a stomach sleeper so I was particuarly interested in the "low profile" mode. I got it home and unwrapped it, and discovered a conspicuous lack of instructions on how to adjust the pillow into different forms. Some pillows allow you to remove shreds of the… Read more
stuffing to make it lower profile, but the Bambillo does not. I wrote to the company and asked how to adjust it. Their reply, incredibly, was "just lie on it and it will adjust itself to you". This makes it no different to any other foam pillow on the market, and my continued requests for assistance went un-answered. I wrote to Harris Scarfe, the store where I purchased the pillow, and explained the borderline false advertising on the Bambillo packaging. I mentioned that I understood the hygiene rules for pillow returns but this was an exceptional case due to the company's blatant lying about their product. They agreed and allowed me to return the pillow. I now have the Eva pillow which is exactly what I was looking for. Just FYI, in its normal state the Bambillo is an extremely high pillow that would suit only the largest-framed sleepers. My husband has extremely broad shoulders and even he found it unusable. TL:DR--Not adjustable as it claims, company does not back up product, do not buy.
Returning and refunding – This company do not help with or enable returns of products. Buyers beware. I will not be purchasing again and will be informing others. Very poor service. And I cannot recommend. Show details
If this was on a pillow menu it would be listed as a pancake – To start with this pillow was comfortable, it was nice and supportive. Now I wake up with terrible neck pain. To say it’s 8 different pillows in one is a scam, after a couple of months my pillow represents a pancake more than a pillow. I bought it from Harris scarfs on sale I can’t even return the dam thing because of their return policy. Show details

Totally over-rated – The pillow is fine for the first few months then it starts to go flat. Sometimes I'd get a headache. The 8 positions they claim is total rubbish at the end of the day it's just another pillow. Show details
Love it! Very comfortable – Im ordering my 2nd bambillow, i love it! Very comfortable great night sleep! Best pillow ever! No more sleepless nights since i started using the bambillow that was 3 years ago! Show details
Bam Bull ow ! – Got as Christmas gift, followed instructions despite finding them ridiculous. One night was enough but I thought I'd "sleep on it " and gave it a second chance which lasted a true 10 to 15 minutes. Very uncomfortable and made me feel overheated and stiff necked. Absolutely the classic TV advertised junk. Don't be fooled by the B.S. advertising, … Read more
it's an overpriced over marketed rip off. However I do think it would be an excellent pillow for undertakers to use in coffins. Bam Bam Barney Rubble and Fred Flintstone have better pillows. Think I'll make a Chia Pet out of it and grow bamboo shoots. Don't be Bamboozled...buy an ordinary pillow. Goodnight Irene.
I like it – I bought it to try for my neck because I had stiff neck. This is the only pillow I am using since. My pain is gone. I got one for my partner and bought 2 for my parents. Loved it. Show details
Good for a few months – Pillow has gone hard and uncomfortable and now giving neck pains. Pillows were a gift . The pillow is not supportive and is uncomfortable as in making my head hot and uncomfortable I don’t recommend. Show details
Bambillow no bamboo in this pillow – TV Shop sells a pillow called Bambillow. Don't be fooled like I was. There is no Bamboo in this pillow. They say I misinterpreted the name. They claim to be the original. 8 pillows in 1. Adjustable, cool, comfortable. Anyone who lives in a warm climate knows that polyester is not cool. To send them back is just throwing good money after bad. Show details
Neck pain caused by Bambillo Pillows – I got the pillows as an extra addition to the Mattress Paid $100 for 4 pillows They look nice But they are hard and awful and giving me a teribble nights sleep! Waking up several times a night trying to adjust it Then just end up throwing the pillows off and sleeping with nothing My poor neck has never been so sore all thanks to the Bambillo Pillows My partner also hates them DO NOT BUY THE PILLOWS THEY ARE AWFUL!!!! Show details
Don't buy garbage – Never woke with a sore neck until I used a bambillo pillow, worst purchase I have made by a long shot, pulled seam apart to check inside because it was way to hard just chunks of foam only pillow case is bamboo supposedly, total waste of money. Buy from a reputable store not from these rip off merchants Show details
Thisis all I use now – I suffer from some neck and spinal problems and thought I'd give this pillow a try . At first I thought it was terrible , then after persisting a few times further I found I was sleeping longer and waking up more refreshed than I have in some time . It's the only one I use now.

Like many other reviewers, I woke up with stiff neck and shoulders – Wish I had read the reviews! Mine was a random purchase, I didn't have neck or back issues, I do now! Seriously! This pillow is a subtle torture device. Who would have thought a comfy looking pillow and smug looking people hugging their head into the Bambillo on the infomercials, could be so devious! It's a trap people! Probably made in China,… Read more
to give every user world wide a stiff neck, so they can't look over their shoulders and see China taking over the world one shoddy product at a time ..mwah..ha ha
Absolute rubbish – Very disappointed in the bambillow. It only holds its shape for half hour max then returns to flat pillow. Has done nothing but make my neck worse so disappointed I wasted money on this. Do not buy if you have neck issues Show details
Worst purchase I ever made – I purchased 2 Bamboo pillows hoping to get the comfort and support that was advertised however after using one of the pillows I developed severe neck and spine pain. I couldn't even turn my head from one side to the other without feeling pain. False advertising. Show details
LOVE MY BAMBILLO – I love my bambillo, it's the best night sleep ever and when i wake up I don't have headaches and feel refreshed. I left my bambillo at a frie ds place have not had a good night sleep since even got upset because i could not get comfortable with my other pillows. Can't wait to get another one so i can have a good night sleep again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BAMBILLO Show details
Warning to Asthmatics – I have had asthma since a child. A friend gave me a Bambillow pillow about 6 months ago. The pillow was very comfortable but then I noticed an increase in my asthma symptoms. I was constantly coughing and SOB. I started going to the Dr and have had 4 courses of antibiotics and steroids over a number of months. I realisied that I didn't cough if… Read more
stayed at friends or family when sleeping. Finally realized that the only thing that had changed since last winter was the pillow. I took the pillow off the bed and stopped coughing immediately!! I am still getting over the wheeze but would suggest any asthmatics who have a Bambillo and notice an increase in their symptoms consider their pillow!
The best pillow I've ever owned – I've tried other pillows, from kmart to high end $200 - $300 pillows.... nothing matches up to the bambillo. I like a firm high pillow and that's exactly what I got. I cant sleep without it now. Like everything in life what someone's loves others may not but this has been a fantastic pillow to me. Show details
Bambillo pillows – I would not recommend these pillows they go flat quick and you can not wash them they shrink and start to smell after 2 months. We paid 175 dollars plus postage another 49.99 over priced And they do not go 8 different ways also Very uncomfortable. Show details
Terrible pillow – Not comfortable, very hard and woke up with a headache in the morning. Please do not waste your money. I paid $59.95 for buy 1 get 1 free. I asked to be refunded but was offered 50% discount. I thought since I would have to pay $29 worth of postage, it was easier to get 50% refund. I pulled the pillows apart and make it into a pet bed! Even my dog… Read more
refuse to sleep on it! The sale of these pillows is a scam. Do not buy, you're better off using a brick to sleep on.
Very disappointed with my purchase.
