Is Bamboo really better in bed?

Linen Bedding may be our bread and butter, but we took the time to ensure that when we expanded our family to include Bamboo, it would be a collection you could love and enjoy just as much.

In celebration of World Bamboo Day, we're highlighting all the reasons why Bamboo is better in bed.

Discover Bamboo

Not just silky soft, Bamboo Bedding is an incredibly sustainable plant resource. The fastest growing plant on the planet, Bamboo is entirely regenerative. Meaning it can be continuously re-harvested without causing damage to the plant system or the surrounding environment. The crops require very little water and are grown without nasty pesticides. Even better, Bamboo plants are natural air filters, producing more oxygen and absorbing more carbon dioxide than other plants.

Whilst they may look the same, not all Bamboo Bedding is created equally. We recommend doing your research, reading the label and understanding if your Bamboo Bedding is made from 100% Pure Bamboo or a mix of materials.

Bamboo & Cotton Blends

The most commonly found blend. Durable, but not as soft as Pure Bamboo Bedding.

Bamboo & Viscose

Known for their silky feel, this blend is incredibly soft. Highly processed, this Bamboo blend uses toxic chemicals to achieve its softness.

Bamboo Modal

Stronger than Viscose or Rayon blends, this is an incredibly durable and lightweight alternative. Still using the same toxic chemicals in production, this blend is often considered to be too light for year-round use.

Bamboo Lyocell

If opting for a Bamboo blend, Lyocell is an ethical and sustainable alternative.

Raw Bamboo Linen

Another sustainable blend option, this type of Bamboo can have a slightly coarser feeling than its synthetic blend counterparts.

Twill

The twill weave has diagonal parallel ribs. This is the weave used in Denim, so it may look familiar. Because the ribbing adds texture, a twill weave isn't necessarily the softest weave but it is durable.

Percale

This weave uses a one thread over, one thread under pattern, which creates a crisp, lightweight fabric with a matte finish. Their breathability makes percale sheets popular with hot sleepers, but they're also prone to wrinkling.

Sateen

The sateen weave is one thread under and three to four threads over. Sateen typically has a silky feel and a lustrous sheen. It naturally resists wrinkles, lending to a smooth look that drapes nicely over the bed. Sateen sheets are more prone to retaining heat and pilling and/or snagging.
