The Mattress Nerd’s Take: The original Miracle Bamboo Pillow is a memory foam pillow that bills itself as the world’s most comfortable pillow. It’s an “As Seen On TV” type of brand, similar to MyPillow. The company advertises that one pillow will work for all sleeping positions and with either a soft, medium or firm feel.

Only then can you decide if it is a long-term solution or a waste of money. Ultimately, we feel that the loft level of the Miracle Bamboo pillow is too high for stomach sleepers to Derila Sleep Aid comfortably, but it’s good for side and back sleepers.
