Bamboo Sheets: The Amazing Benefits of This Dreamy Fabric
One of life’s greatest pleasures is being able to slide into a comfy bed covered in soft, silky smooth sheets at the end of a long, hard day. And when you spend nearly a third of your lifetime in bed, being able to rest your body on only the best sheets available is not just a perk but an absolute necessity. For centuries, the best (and perhaps only) available sheets on the Australian market were made of regular cotton. Luckily, today the story is quite different. Us sleepyheads can now choose from a wide range of luscious fabrics among which one seems to stand out the most – bamboo! But why is that so?
Incredibly Soft
Want to know what it feels like to be sleeping on cloud 9? Organic bamboo sheets are heavenly soft and comfortable. This is because of bamboo’s fabric structure which consists of long, strong fibres. Bamboo sheets, pillow cases, duvets and other beddings tend to be much softer compared to synthetic materials and most natural fabrics like cotton.
Temperature-Regulating
One of the most common complaints you’ll hear from groggy people in the morning is that they spend the whole night tossing and turning, not being able to adjust their temperature. What if I told you that the solution for restless nights is quite simple – bamboo sheets. Few materials can boast to be temperature-regulating, and bamboo is one of them. Bamboo sheets are light and feel cool which makes them the best choice for warm, summer days and nights. But they also have a thick fibre structure which provides just the right amount of insulation to keep you warm when the cold winter arrives. A bedding choice for all year round!
Antibacterial and Hypoallergenic
When you spend so much time in one place like the bed, it will get dirty without a doubt. And although you might regularly change your sheets, because they are being used so often they can house some nasty creatures which you’re just not able to see. But bamboo is not your regular fabric, it has its own natural protective agent called “bamboo kun” which keeps bacteria away. Because of this anti-bacterial agent, bamboo doesn’t require to be treated with pesticides or other harsh chemicals. Because of this, it is the recommended bedding choice for people suffering from allergies, asthma, or any skin conditions.
Highly Absorbent
Bamboo sheets have an excellent moisture-wicking ability. Compared to cotton and cotton blends, bamboo fabric is seven times more absorbent which is why it has the power to keep us dry all night long. So if you tend to sweat a lot during the night, opting for bamboo bedding can be the right solution. Besides being moisture absorbent, bamboo also tends to absorb bad odours. With bamboo bedding, not only will your bed stay clean, but it also smell delightfully fresh.
