Did you know that bamboo sheets have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties? Bamboo contains a bio-agent called “bamboo kun” which aids the crop in growing with little or no help from pesticides.
Bamboo kun properties remain in the bamboo even after processing into linen materials. Having anti-bacterial and anti-fungal sheets makes them resistant to odors.
Bamboo also is excellent at wicking moisture away from the skin. When you have sheets with wicking properties moisture is kept away from the body when your skin is in contact with the fabric. Cotton has an absorption rate of 6% while bamboo absorbs approximately 20%.
The softness of texture, like cotton, is dependent on the thread count and quality of production, but there are certainly some very soft examples out there. As with all products, much is down to personal taste, and it’s always best to try for yourself and see if it’s for you or not.
Using bamboo for bedding is environmentally sound. Bamboo is an abundant, easy-to-grow crop—which means that even when it’s not grown organically, it can be cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. It also produces incredibly soft fabric that drapes on your sleepy self in a way you can’t imagine. More pluses: It’s weirdly stain-proof, with the exception of blood,* and after many washes, it feels as soft as the day you cracked open the package. It helps keep you cool when it’s warm, and warm when it’s cool, and it’s never heavy or scratchy.
So why don’t you try bedding that can add to your wellness rather than subtract from your ability to stay well???? Get some today.
