Recently we have discovered a new type of bed sheets that have quickly become
our absolute new favorite...Bamboo Sheets!
WOW! These sheets are these the ultimate in luxury bedding!
I usually have several questions asked of me when I talk about Bamboo bedding with people. Here are a few:
Question: Are the sheets scratchy?
Answer: No. Bamboo sheets are incredibly soft and are surprisingly heavier that cotton sheets. The 250 thread count sheets have the feel of an 800 tread count cotton sheet...only much softer!
Question: Why are these a better "green" and renewable product than cotton?
Answer: Bamboo can grow up to 1 foot per day making it a highly renewable source.
Question: Are the bamboo sheets I find in other stores just as good as the ones you sell?
Answer: Well, that depends. Not all bamboo sheets are created equal. Only the sheets that are 100% bamboo provide all of the incredible benefits of bamboo that are not found in a blended product. Once bamboo has been mixed with cotton (or another fiber) it does not perform the same way. Of course a 100% bamboo product will cost more than a blended product.
Here are some of the features & benefits of bamboo bedding:
- Bamboo has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties.
- There are no pesticides used with bamboo. It has its own natural resistance to bacteria and is hypoallergenic.
- Bamboo has strong insulating properties, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
- Bamboo is naturally absorbent. It wicks away moisture, breathes better then cotton and keeps you cooler.
- Bamboo sheets are a long term investment. They will maintain their soft feel for many years to come.
Sheet Sets come in so many colors: White, Ivory, Silver Birch, Sky, Grass, Lotus, Hemp, Copper, Sable, Sea Grass
Quilted shams and coverlets are also available in 100% Bamboo in all the same colors as the sheet sets. You may choose from a box quilting or a brick quilting (shown at the top of this blog post).

Here is some additional information on Bamboo directly from the manufacturer:
Bamboo fiber is 100% made from bamboo through a high-tech process.
The raw material bamboo is selected from non-polluted areas in Asia.
The whole distilling and production process produces natural and ecofriendly
fiber without any chemical additives. Bamboo fiber is also a unique
biodegradable textile material. As a natural cellulose fiber it can be
100% biodegraded in soil by microorganisms and sunshine.
It is a common fact that bamboo can thrive naturally without using
pesticide. Scientists have found that bamboo owns a unique anti-bacteria
and bacteriostatic bio-agent. This substance is combined with bamboo
cellulose during the process of being manufactured into bamboo fiber
resulting in a naturally antibacterial fabric. This antibacterial property
means fabrics stay fresh and keeps away odor causing bacteria. It is
proven that wash after wash, bamboo fiber fabric still possesses excellent
function of antibacteria. Bamboo fiber’s natural anti-bacteria does not
cause skin allergy as can sometimes happen with chemical antimicrobial .
Another benefit of bamboo fiber is its unusual ability to breathe and
ventilate. A cross-section of the bamboo fiber will show that it is filled with
various micro-gaps and micro-holes, giving excellent moisture absorption
and ventilation. With this unparalleled micro-structure, bamboo fiber
fabrics can absorb and evaporate moisture in a split second, making
people feel extremely cool and comfortable in the hot summer.
Bamboo fabrics are made from pure bamboo fiber yarns which have
excellent wet permeability, moisture vapor transmission property, superior
strength and durability over time, soft and comfortable hand, better
drape, easy dying, and splendid colors. It is a newly founded, great
prospective green fabric. Bamboo fiber is praised as " the natural, green
and eco-friendly new-type textile material of 21st century" .
