3 Reasons why Bamboo Sheets are Todays Luxury Bedding - By: Thomas Staszewski

For quite some time now 100% Egyptian cotton sheets have been considered the king when it comes to comfort and softness in luxury bedding for the home. Those times may be coming to an end. Today you will find that bamboo sheets and bamboo bedding are giving competition to "king cotton". How and why has this come about?

Well bamboo sheets are as soft as silk because bamboo fibers are naturally soft, smooth and round. This quality makes it hypoallergenic to skin and does not cause rashes as other abrasive fabrics can. Bamboo is a natural material that is a derivative from the eco-friendly bamboo plant. The bamboo plant is naturally hypoallergenic, since its fibers do not cause allergic reactions. So if you are an allergy sufferer, anyone who has ever developed a rash or itch from your bedding, a bamboo sheet set may be perfect for you.

Luxury bamboo sheets have insulating qualities and bamboo is an extremely breathable fabric. The result is that these sheets are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Bamboo bed sheets are extremely luxurious with the smooth feel of silk and soft feel of cashmere. You will also find some blends made from cotton and bamboo mix but 100% bamboo feels different to touch.

Bamboo sheets have a high amount of natural antibacterial qualities as well as anti fungal properties. This is somewhat amazing. Bamboo fiber is naturally mold and mildew resistant and that quality is carried over when the bamboo is created into luxury sheets! Studies have shown that linens made of 100% bamboo yarn kill over 90% of bacteria within an hour. One such test was done by the China Industrial Testing Center. Their scientists tried to infect bamboo sheets with Staphylococcus aurous bacteria for 24 hours. Their study shows that after 24 hours of incubation 100% bamboo sheets have either repelled or eliminated 99.8% of bacteria. So all you germophobes out there need not to worry, as the antibacterial property of bamboo bedding is unmatched. Even after 50 washes, bamboo sheets still had the capacity to kill over 80% of bacteria. Quite amazing.

Another thing that is fascinating about bamboo sheets from bamboo fabric is that it is 100% biodegradable. That makes it the most eco friendly fabric in the world.
When sleeping on your bamboo sheets you can be rest assured you are using an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cotton, rayon and nylon sheets. Along with the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial qualities already mentioned. Bamboo plants do not need pesticides and herbicides or any other nasty chemicals during the growth or cultivation. This makes bamboo a safe naturally organic product.

With all these qualities it is not hard to see why bamboo sheets are rapidly become today’s luxury bedding choice
