Why bamboo bedding? Believe us when we tell you that bamboo is softer than the softest cotton, Bamboo fabric has a wonderful sheen to the surface of the material and feels comparable to cashmere. Yes, cashmere. When you think of bedding that is important. Bamboo bedding has so many wonderfully natural attributes. For those of you who have night sweats or get hot, it absorbs water 3 to 4 times better than your typical cotton bedding, keeping skin comfy, rather than clammy. It is amazing for keeping your skin cool and cozy year around. Bamboo bedding is thermal regulating, odor defiant, naturally static free and will keep you cooler and drier in the heat of summer and warmer in cold temperatures.
Bamboo is eco-friendly and is a renewable resource used for more fabrications and uses than we can possibly list here. It is grown pesticide free using zero chemicals or fertilizers. It just grows so clean and germ free. Because of all of these amazing things, most of the companies we advocate in this bedding directory sell bamboo that was materialized and used more natural dyes (if not organic).
Bamboo is one of the world's most fruitful and fastest-growing plants on earth. It is harvestable after only 4 years of growth from planting. Most people are generally familiar with decorative bamboo plants and associate them with luck, but it so much more than a lucky plant these days. The average person is usually flabbergasted when learning that there are more than a thousand uses of bamboo documented today. Being an eco-friendly directory – we are so happy about this.
Bamboo is one of our planet’s most sustainable resources and is naturally regenerative. Bamboo bedding is made from this grass/plant and sold at the stores we recommend above.
Historically in Asia, the bamboo plant has been used in the time-honored hand-made fabrication of paper for hundreds of years. Currently, with modern manufacturing advances, bamboo pulp (which is what bamboo bedding and most bamboo fabrics is made from) is capable of producing some of the most amazingly soft materials. Because most bamboo is strong, it makes durable fabrics.
Most of the companies we recommend are so eco-friendly, they purchase bamboo materials that come from family-owned farms and other artisans that have been in agricultural business for generations. When you consider that none of the fiber used when creating bamboo bedding comes from tropical forests, it is an easy decision to buy bamboo bedding and other bamboo products. Take a look above and see how amazing these products are.
