Bamboo sheets are one of the most luxurious, durable, hypo-allergenic and eco-friendly bedding available today. Bamboo sheets are as soft as silk and cashmere, without the care and maintenance they need. Bamboo has been used for many products for many years, such as furniture, flooring, blinds, wings, kitchen utensils, musical instruments, etc. Recently, we saw the movement of bamboo in the textile industry, with the advent of bamboo clothing, towels and bed linen
Bamboo fibers are much softer and thinner than their rival cotton. These fine fibers are what produce a silky smooth fabric that requires only 200-300 threads to compete with an amount of 800-1000 cotton threads. The natural round shape of bamboo fibers, which contain a large surface area, as well as the chemically free way to process bamboo, also adds the natural softness of the fabric.
What makes bamboo so eco-friendly? Bamboo is very stable, so there is no concern about deforestation. Moso bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, growing up to 3 feet per day. Bamboo is a grass, so after cutting it can recover quickly without the need for a transplant. It grows very densely, and therefore the yield per acre is high compared to cotton. Bamboo fiber is very unique in that individual fibers have cross-sections filled with pin holes (or gaps). This gives the viscosity of bamboo fabric the ability to absorb moisture. Visco, why bamboo fabric is able to absorb 60% more than cotton. This capillary ability makes it an excellent choice for sheets, towels and bathrobes.
Allergic patients and people with sensitive skin will find bamboo sheets the perfect solution for a good night’s sleep. Bamboo contains a natural agent called “bamboo kun”, which gives it tremendous antibacterial abilities. Bamboo kun is an antibacterial, antifungal agent that allows bamboo to grow magnificently without the need for pesticides or herbicides. The point is simply that pests and pathogens do not like bamboo. This also applies to the processing of raw bamboo in the fabric, chemicals are not needed, fewer chemicals and less allergens. For any allergy sufferer who wakes up every morning with red and itchy eyes, a runny nose and a lot of congestion, natural bamboo sheets may be the best solution.
Finally, bamboo sheets are thermostatic. Bamboo fibers expand when they heat up so that the skin breathes and shrinks when it cools to trap heat near the body. They are also extremely breathable - the porous nature of the fibers makes it breathable and extremely comfortable for the skin.
