Bamboo charcoal infused memory foam - cutting-edge cooling and odour control
Naturally hypoallergenic - ideal for allergy sufferers
Regulates temperature and moisture - helps absorb odours overnight
Dust mite resistant - natural bamboo properties
5-year guarantee - against defects in workmanship or materials
Choice of two depths - 8cm low depth or 12cm high depth
The REM-Fit Bamboo Charcoal Pillow uses cutting-edge bamboo charcoal infused memory foam, a fabric that's naturally hypoallergenic and helps regulate temperature, moisture and odours through the night. The bamboo properties also make it naturally resistant to dust mites, which makes it a sensible choice for allergy sufferers.
Who is it for?
Suited to allergy sufferers and anyone who wants a natural, hypoallergenic alternative to standard memory foam. The choice of depths also means it suits a wider range of sleeping positions and neck heights than a single fixed loft pillow.
What makes it different?
The charcoal infusion gives this pillow active odour and moisture control on top of the usual benefits of memory foam, while the bamboo properties add natural dust mite resistance. Offering two depths also lets you choose the loft that best matches your sleeping position, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Pairs well with any REM-Fit hybrid mattress for a complete, allergy-conscious sleep setup.
Frequently asked questions
Are bamboo charcoal pillows good for allergies?+
Yes. Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic and the charcoal-infused foam resists dust mites, which matters because pillows are one of the main places dust mites live and around 12 million UK adults have a dust mite allergy. The dust mite-resistant cover and natural bamboo properties make it a sensible choice for allergy sufferers and anyone with sensitive skin.
What does the bamboo charcoal actually do?+
The bamboo charcoal is infused into the memory foam, where it helps regulate temperature and moisture and absorb odours through the night, on top of the contouring support memory foam is known for. The natural bamboo properties also give it resistance to dust mites.
Should I choose the 8cm or 12cm depth?+
Choose the depth to match how you sleep. The 12cm high depth suits side sleepers, who need more loft to keep the neck aligned with the spine, while the 8cm low depth suits back and front sleepers who need less height. If you move between positions through the night, the higher depth is usually the safer choice.
What is the difference between the Bamboo Charcoal Pillow and the 500 Cool Gel Pillow?+
Both are memory foam pillows with different priorities. The Bamboo Charcoal Pillow is built around natural, hypoallergenic materials with odour and moisture control, ideal for allergy sufferers. Our Good Housekeeping Winner 2026 500 Cool Gel Pillow focuses on active cooling through gel-infused foam. Choose the Bamboo Charcoal for hypoallergenic, odour-resistant comfort, or the Cool Gel if cooling is your priority.
Does the Bamboo Charcoal Pillow keep you cool?+
It helps. The bamboo charcoal infused foam is designed to regulate temperature and wick moisture rather than trapping heat the way standard memory foam can, and 84% of our shoppers say temperature regulation matters to them. For dedicated cooling our Snow and Cool Gel pillows go further, but the Bamboo Charcoal balances cooling with its hypoallergenic and odour-control benefits.
