Overview

The Macoda Pillow is an innovative and versatile memory foam pillow that offers two different sleeping surfaces to choose from. The pillow has a luxurious, eco-friendly bamboo cover that is smooth and soft to the touch, and can be easily removed and hand washed. The ‘cool’ side of the pillow is noticeably cool and well-ventilated, offering a balance of comfort and support. The ‘comfy’ side has a spongy memory foam feel and moulds to your head and neck more closely. Overall, it’s a flexible pillow that most sleepers will enjoy sleeping on.

What Does it Feel Like to Sleep On?

The Macoda Pillow boasts a revolutionary design with two different sleeping surfaces, making it an excellent choice for a versatile sleep experience. The pillow’s eco-friendly bamboo cover adds to its luxurious feel, which can be removed and washed by hand for easy maintenance.

One side of the pillow is designed to be noticeably cool and well-ventilated, while the other side has a more spongy, memory foam feel that moulds to your head and neck for added comfort and support. This feature allows you to choose the surface that best suits your sleeping preferences. The Macoda Pillow is suitable for side, back, and front sleepers.

Construction & Materials

The Macoda pillow has been designed with the perfect balance of comfort and support in mind, and it features groundbreaking technology. The pillow has two sides, and the cool side allows for direct airflow and minimal heat build-up, thanks to its open structure and cooling gel glaze.

Additionally, the pillow’s cushioning memory foam is infused with bamboo charcoal, which absorbs moisture, dissipates heat, and neutralises odours. The Macoda Pillow also comes with a luxurious, soft, and eco-friendly bamboo cover. This pillow promises a unique and comfortable sleeping experience that stays fresh and cool throughout the night.

Firmness

As a memory foam pillow, the Macoda pillow is medium in firmness which is pretty standard for this kind of pillow material. It provides gentle cradling and support, and you don’t feel like you’re sinking into the pillow or bed. Thanks to its firmness, it offers almost instant pressure relief, which is great news for people who typically have back or neck pain when sleeping.

Support

Both sides of the Macoda pillow offer great support, but I’d suggest if you’re after the most support and comfort choose the “comfy side” of the pillow – not the cool side. Overall, support is subjective and it’s worthwhile trying both sides of the pillow to find the right side for you and your sleeping needs.

Loft/Height

The loft (height) of the Macoda pillow is 12cm, which is standard for a medium-loft pillow.

Trial Period, Shipping & Warranty

Macoda offers a 60 night trial period where you can test to see if the pillow is right for you. If not, you can return it for a full refund. SHipping across Australia is free, and Macod also offers a slightly longer than average warranty of 3 years.

Macoda Pillow Vs Emma Pillow

Both the Macoda Pillow and the Emma Pillow are highly regarded pillows with innovative designs.

The Macoda Pillow offers the unique feature of having two different sleeping surfaces to choose from, with a ‘cool’ side that is noticeably cool and well-ventilated and a ‘comfy’ side that has a memory foam feel and moulds to your head and neck. It also has a bamboo cover that is soft, silky, and eco-friendly. The Macoda Pillow is suitable for side, back, and front sleepers.

On the other hand, the Emma Pillow has a unique adjustable design that allows you to add or remove the fill to adjust the height and firmness to your liking. It is made with a breathable and moisture-wicking cover that keeps you cool and comfortable. The Emma Pillow is suitable for all sleeping positions and also comes with a removable and machine-washable cover.

Overall, I found the Emma pillow to be slightly softer and more comfortable than the Macoda, but it really does come down to personal preference!
