Shredded Pillows

As its name implies, “shredded” filling is either memory foam or latex simply torn into tiny pieces. The individual pieces move independently, allowing the pillow to be moldable. You can sculpt it much like a down pillow, and it will shift and change into whatever shape you desire.

Memory foam should not be put in the washing machine unless specified otherwise on the tag. Memory foam is like a sponge. If put in a washing machine, it will become waterlogged and damaged. If you have to wash your memory foam pillow, spot-clean it. This applies to shredded memory foam as well.

You will not need to fluff a shredded memory foam mattress because the materials means it naturally bounces back once the weight of your head is removed. If your pillow is no longer doing this, it is possibly because it has reached the end of its useful life and you need to replace it.

Many shredded memory foam pillows allow users to customize the firmness level somewhat by adding or removing the filling.

A shredded pillow offers a cooler, softer memory foam that is both comfortable and breathable. The shredded memory foam pieces each compress independently. This makes the pillow much softer and more moldable than your traditional memory foam mattress or pillow made from one slab of memory foam.

Anyone! If you love a memory foam mattress it is quite possible you will love a shredded memory foam pillow as well. It's all about your personal preference.

As long as your pillow offers head, shoulder, and neck support, it is is good for neck pain. Neck pain is the result of not having the spinal alignment you need while you sleep. Shredded memory foam provides this!

Shredding of these materials creates an entirely different feel when compared to a solid construction. The individual pieces of foam or latex are broken up, allowing them to move freely within the pillow. For both memory foam and latex, this is going to offer more shape-ability and breathability, but the overall feel and support of each material is still markedly different!
