Panda was first formed in 2015 when they found a gap in the market aimed at achieving a premium quality product that is created in an eco-friendly way. The bamboo vision was created as a result of this and they have not looked back since, striving from success to success as they expand their vision and product line further. Owners of the Memory Foam Bamboo Pillow who mention its removable cover, a 70% bamboo fibre outer layer on 30% polyester, call it soft: 'The cover is lovely and soft', one wrote.
Due to the materials used within the products offered by Panda, the production and creation of its bedding and pillows cannot occur in the UK (we do not have that much bamboo!). As a result, Panda says many of its products are made in China, with some made in India, while its mattresses are made in the UK. That said, if you’re trying to buy as locally as possible, that overseas manufacturing and shipping footprint might be a bit of a downside.
The bamboo material that is used within Panda products is actually fairly genius, through different manufacturing processes, the bamboo-blend fabric is soft and breathable. It’s also hypoallergenic meaning that the products on offer won’t flare up any existing allergies either. The pillow itself is 12cm deep and medium-firm, so on paper it has that slow, moulding feel you’d expect from memory foam, and owners describe just that: 'firm but you still sink a little into it', one wrote. That’s great for some, but if you prefer a bouncier, more traditional pillow it can feel a bit 'stuck in'. Some owners found theirs too firm or too high for their neck.
Reviews for Panda protectors, pillows and duvets are generally very good. Just be aware that bamboo and foam based bedding can sleep a touch warmer than a basic hollowfibre option, especially if you’re already a hot sleeper.
