Why Bamboo Fiber? Well…bamboo fiber  sheets are actually temperature-regulating, naturally staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And let’s not forget that bamboo fabric is naturally hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial and ordor resistant, which is ideal for a hygenic environment.
But bamboo sheets aren’t just heavenly to sleep on — they’re also environmentally conscious! An ever-important factor in making any decision, bamboo sheets are made from one of the world’s fastest growing, greenest, most renewable resource — bamboo! Bamboo plants can grow up to a foot per day so there’s really no worry about deforestation. Another wonderful factor: because bamboo can grow so densely, a bamboo forest has around 40% more biomass than a regular hardwood forest, that’s 40% more carbon-reducing power!

As for herbicides and pesticides and other nasty chemicals, bamboo simply doesn’t need them. This makes bamboo a naturally organic product — unlike cotton. Despite the fact that it is a natural fiber, cotton production is a very unnatural process using more pounds of chemicals per pound of cotton than any other crop. Of course, some of this ends up in clothing and other products made from cotton, but the vast majority ends up in the rivers, and ultimately in the Gulf of Mexico’s “Dead Zone.” Think you’re doing the environment a favor by eating organic foods? Your clothes, sheets, towels and other textiles are more likely to have more of an impact.

Bamboo sheets are also the vegan/animal friendly choice for luxury… unlike silk or cashmere. This means you can sleep peacefully knowing no animals were harmed for you to sleep on your comfy bamboo sheets.
