Assuming meteors can have any initial size, speed, and entry angle, there must be some sets of those initial values such that a remaining meteorite of the size seen in these photos could go through a roof and land on a bed. It doesn't seem possible that there would be any step function where if it doesn't burn up completely and can make it through a roof it must be going fast enough to also go through a pillow.
