Katie: Hey guys, it's Katie from Mattress Clarity.
Today, I've got the Snuggle-Pedic Bamboo shredded memory foam adjustable fit pillow.
Yes, it's a long name, but there's a lot going on with this pillow.
I'm going to reach right in, show you the filling, give you all the details on it.
The one thing I want to mention real quick is that my friend and co-worker Marten is
going to come in and give you his take as well.
We do that because Marten's a bigger guy than me, sleeps on the pillow a little bit differently.
I want to make sure you're seeing all sides of this review.
Let's get started.

Katie: One quick thing, if any questions come up or you want a personal pillow recommendation,
don't hesitate, comment below I'll do my best to get back to you.
The other thing is that I've reviewed a lot of different pillows and I got a lot of thoughts
on them.
Check out my best picks by googling, Mattress Clarity best pillows.
Now let's get started with this Snuggle-Pedic.
This is the Bamboo shredded memory foam adjustable fit pillow.
We're going to go over what all that means, but I'm going to start with the cover.
The cover is this cool flow material.
It's a mix of viscose from Bamboo, a little bit of rayon and a little bit of lycra happening
in here.
It's got to stretch.
It's very, very soft.
You can remove the cover, machine wash and dry just the cover which is great, but the
inside is really where the magic happens.
Will unzip and show you, there's a second lining here.
That's for good reason because there's a huge mix of proprietary foam chunks in here, all
different sizes, all different colors.
It's really interesting looking.
I'm going to pull it out and show it to you.
This is where they stay adjustable.
You can take out as much of this filling as you want and make the pillow basically customized
for you, which is really nice.
In that sense, it's really versatile and works for all different...The sleep positions because
you can make it whatever is the best fit for you.
It's hypoallergenic.
It comes with 120-night trial.
It does come in three different sizes, standard, queen and king.
Price wise, it seems to vary depending on what the retailer is.
Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $100 for the pillow.
They're really big on their customer service.
This is one of the few places where if you want to customize your pillow, maybe you want
more filling, you can send it back to them and do that.
Here's what I really like about the Snuggle-Pedic.
First of all, is that you can easily remove the soft breathable cover, machine wash and
dry it.
It's really, really nice.
I honestly don't even think you really need a pillowcase unless you just don't like the
texture on it.
Again, really soft, machine washable and dryable.
The whole pillow you can machine wash and dry.
We'll just caution you that it will take a while for it to dry, would probably throw
a tennis ball in there to help keep things moving.
It's nice that you have the option.
The other thing that's really nice about it, and I mentioned this earlier, is that it really
works for all sleep types because you control how much filling is in here.
Yes, you're going to get that firmness that you get from a foam, but because the pieces
are so small, you really can make it pretty flat.
I think it will even work for stomach sleepers in addition obviously to side and back sleepers.
I had success in all different positions with this.
It's got a great trial period and their customer service is hard to beat.
Here is some things I think you need to think about with this pillow.
First of all, is that the pieces are tiny and they can become really crumbly, which
makes quite a mess when you're trying to take stuff out.
If you're a stomach sleeper and you know you want this pretty flat already or not that
much loft, I would almost work with them to send you a customized pillow so you're not
taking chunks of this out and getting it everywhere.
Believe me it is a big mess.
Secondly, is that it will take a long time to dry.
If you're getting this pillow specifically because you want a machine wash and dry the
whole thing, just be prepared to spend a long time with it in the dryer.
Throw a bunch of tennis balls in there.
Keep things moving.
The smaller pieces don't necessarily lend themselves to an easier dry.
The other things that I want to mention is that I do think that it will go a little bit
flat over time if you just sleep on it night after night without fluffing it.
If you get it and it's compressed like mine was, throw in the dryer let the foam expand.
If it starts to go flat on you a little bit, throw in the dryer let it expand.
It will get back to its original loft.
Marten: Hey guys, Marten here to offer a different perspective.
I'm a larger person and a side sleeper.
I want to give my experience with the Snuggle-Pedic here.
On my side, my head sinks in not quite enough.
I feel like I'm being pushed up.
One thing to note is, you can actually send this back to the company to have it be more
customized to your body type.
For me, it's actually a little bit twofold right now.
Same on my back, my head's not going to sink in quite enough.
I feel like I'm being pushed up.
It has this shredded memory foam inside here.
It has a fluffy feel to it.
I like a little bit more bounce to my pillow so for me it's not my preference.
If you like more that fluffy feel, this might work for you.
Katie: It's hard to say who this pillow is the best fit for in terms of sleeping position
because the beautiful part about it is that you can add or remove all the filling you
want, and really make it perfect for you no matter what position you're sleeping.
I will say though it will make quite a bit a mess if you're pulling out huge chunks of
this.
It's something to keep in mind.
I love that you can machine wash and dry the cover.
It is really soft.
120-night trial is hard to beat.
It also, is on the more affordable side.
Check out different retailers because I've seen it at different prices.
