Pillow and Mattress Reviews

The various types of microbead pillows show how microbeads have moved beyond the therapeutic uses they were originally used for in hospitals. While they are still used in therapeutic pillows, these tiny, perfectly spherical shaped, polymer or “cushie foam” beads are used in all kinds of pillows. Squish microbead pillows were some of the most popular of these kinds of pillows, but now there are all kinds and shapes.

You can find microbead pillows like the neck pillow, for the bed, or even for your head to rest on during a bath or a microbead bed pillow for your child to cuddle with during a nap. The benefits of using microbead pillows are still partly therapeutic, with their ability to mold to the shape of your body, eliminating pressure points. Their spherical shape massages as you move and the pillows mold to the proper shape.

Microbead Pillow Models

Models of microbead pillows for neck comfort and travel include:

Westminster Cushie Foam Roll Pillow, in Yellow- this is a yellow velvet covered cylinder shaped neck pillow that features the Cushie foam microbeads. Some people have confused this pillow with the popular Squish microbead pillows, but have discovered they are two very different pillows once they have used them. That’s not to say they don’t like the difference, in fact some people come back and buy a second one of these. The Cushie Roll pillow in green is another popular choice.

Along the same lines, the Relaxzen Microbead Massage Neck Pillow and the Travel Pillow Doctor Neck & Shoulder Pillow Relaxer from eGeneral Medical Inc RED are popular at home, in the car, on an airplane and anywhere you need a massage and support for your neck.

For children, the Disney character pillows (e.g. Winnie the Pooh) seem to be some of the most popular.
