Macoda Pillow

Macoda Pillow Review

The Macoda Pillow is a comfortable and breathable memory foam pillow that combines charcoal-infused memory foam, cooling gel for temperature control, and a soft bamboo cover.

This pillow makes up part of the Macoda sleep and bedding range that also includes the award-winning Macoda Mattress.

Purchase and delivery

The Macoda Pillow can be purchased online through the Macoda website.

Macoda offers free shipping Australia-wide with no hidden delivery fees. Shipping usually takes 2-8 business days depending on your location. Rural areas may experience longer delivery times.

The pillow arrives in a sturdy, matte-finish cardboard box in Macoda’s signature colours and branding. Inside, the pillow is sealed in protective plastic for hygiene during transport.

Pillow construction

The Macoda Pillow’s core is made from plush memory foam infused with bamboo charcoal. This charcoal infusion helps absorb moisture, dissipate heat, and neutralise odours. Around the foam core is a protective mesh fabric for added durability.

The pillow has two distinct sides, allowing the user to flip it depending on preference:

• Cool side – features a special gel glaze to help disperse heat and keep the surface cool. This side is marked with a snowflake tag.

• Warmer side – without the gel glaze for a more neutral, cosy feel. This side is marked with a sun tag.

The removable bamboo fabric cover is soft, silky, and breathable, and can be hand washed (not machine washed) for hygiene.

Comfort and support

The Macoda Pillow has a soft, spongy sensation that absorbs head weight smoothly without feeling overly dense or firm. It moulds gently to the head and neck, offering light contouring rather than rigid support.

Breathability is a strong point – both the foam and bamboo cover allow for good airflow, and our testing didn’t reveal any noticeable heat retention. The cooling gel glaze on the cool side adds an extra layer of temperature control, while the warmer side is ideal for cooler nights or personal preference.

The finer details

The Macoda Pillow is 14cm high, 66cm long, and 40cm wide. This measures close to a standard Australian pillow size, fitting most pillowcases without excess space.

The outer bamboo cover is soft and well-made, with neat stitching and a subtle texture. The zip for removing the cover is smooth and easy to use, while the foam core’s mesh layer adds a premium touch. The pillow feels well-finished overall, with quality materials used throughout.

Each pillow includes a 60 night trial, giving you the chance to test it at home and return it for a full refund if it’s not the right fit. The pillow also comes with a 3 year warranty, covering any defects or issues — Macoda will replace it if something isn’t right.

Price

Here is the current retail price of the Macoda Pillow.

Final verdict

The Macoda Pillow is a well-made, versatile pillow with a soft and cushioned feel. With its flippable cool/warm sides, charcoal-infused foam, and breathable bamboo cover, it offers comfort, freshness, and year-round usability.
