Bamboo bedding: Why this could be your sleep secret
Why bamboo? What are the advantages of bamboo textiles?
Bamboo fibers offer an impressive range of advantages that set them apart from conventional materials:
- Incredibly soft: Bamboo is naturally silky soft and feels luxurious against the skin, often compared to cashmere or silk.
- Breathable and temperature-regulating: The fibers have a hollow structure that allows for excellent ventilation. This keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Moisture-wicking: Bamboo is very good at absorbing moisture and wicking it away from the body, making it ideal for bedding. This ensures a comfortable sleeping environment, especially for people who sweat at night.
- Hypoallergenic: Bamboo is a good choice for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers as it is low in irritants.
- Durable and easy to care for: Although bamboo bedding usually feels luxurious, it is robust and durable. It often becomes softer with every wash.
- Sustainable cultivation: Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, requiring water and no pesticides.
What makes our bamboo bedding so special?
Not only is our bamboo bedding exceptionally soft, it is also practical for everyday use. The bamboo viscose fibre used wrinkles significantly less than conventional cotton, meaning less ironing is required for a consistently neat appearance.
Additionally, the natural moisture-regulating properties of bamboo fibre ensure a pleasantly dry and balanced sleeping environment.
We only use reactive dyes for the colour design. These dyes penetrate deep into the fibre, ensuring the colours remain vibrant even after many washes. They also noticeably improve the softness of the fabric. The result is durable, skin-friendly bedding that will remain functional and visually appealing for years to come.

Are bamboo textiles sustainable?
The cultivation of bamboo is environmentally friendly. It grows quickly, requires little water and no pesticides. It also improves soil quality and produces a significant amount of oxygen. However, the sustainability of bamboo textiles also depends on how the fibres are manufactured.
Bamboo viscose: This is the most common method. Here, the bamboo cellulose is chemically treated to extract the fibres.
How should bamboo textiles be cared for?
Bamboo textiles are easy to care for, but the following tips will help maintain their softness and durability:
• Washing: Our bamboo bedding can be washed at 60°C.
• Drying: Suitable for tumble drying.
