Why our sleep experts loved it
Conscious bedding is an emerging trend that speaks to our collective desire for sustainable, earth-friendly solutions, particularly when it comes to mattresses and bed accessories. At the heart of this movement is the quest to marry eco-friendly materials with the craving for comfort and support. That's precisely what the Slumberland Recycled Support Pillow set out to achieve, and dare we say, it looks like they have pretty much hit the bull’s eye. This UK-made pillow, brimming with 100% recycled fibre filling and snugly housed in a 100% recycled quilted polyester cover, promises medium support to suit every type of sleeper—be it front, side, or back.
How We Tested
Our exploration into the Slumberland Recycled Support Pillow was carried out in-store, enabling us to physically experience its design and analyze its features but not extending to a home trial. Despite the limited scope, we had access to a set of genuine customer reviews that dished the scoop on the usage experience over an extended period. This coupled with the product's details offered a comprehensive understanding of the product.
Design and Features
Exclusively distributed by Bensons for Beds, the Slumberland Recycled Support Pillow takes a commendable stance on environmental responsibility without overlooking comfort. As part of our review, we delved into its distinguishing features—the 100% recycled fibre filling that gives a sense of medium firmness, the recycled quilted polyester cover for additional comfort, and of course, its all-encompassing user-friendliness for every type of sleeper. In an age where cleanliness is paramount, the fact that this pillow can be machine washed at 40 degrees gives it added appeal.
Construction
The pillow comprises two main recycled elements—fibre filling for support and a quilted polyester cover for an extra layer of comfort. This fitting combination was something that resonated with us. Admittedly, the terms "fibre fillings" and "polyester cover" might not excite those looking for sophisticated materials, but considering the reasonable price point, this is a compromise many consumers would not mind making.
Suitability
Whether you prefer to snooze on your back, favours the side or enjoy a face-down slumber, this pillow's medium firmness suits all. We felt that it strikes an effective balance between providing necessary support and the all-important comfort factor.
What Customers Thought
Real-world feedback often provides the most valuable insights, and the case was no different here. Users praised the well-constructed, comfortable pillow, noting its perfect size and calling them "the best pillows they'd ever laid on". Another happy customer even vowed to buy the product again, acting as a testament to the pillow's success.
The Verdict
The Slumberland Recycled Support Pillow does an admirable job of combining affordability with sustainable, recycled materials. With a construction design that doesn't skimp on comfort, impressive customer testimonials, and our own first-hand experience, our verdict leans favourably towards it. If you're in the market for a guilt-free, budget-friendly, comfortable pillow that can keep up with you no matter how you sleep, then this could be just the ticket to sweet dreams and refreshed mornings.
