Bed Linen and the Benefits of Bamboo Sheets

Your bed sheets really are an important part of the overall bedding items used on a bed, because that is what is against your skin when you sleep.  The higher the quality bed sheets used, the happier you will be when you’re tucked in for the night. So many of us focus on what is on the outside of the bed, like the comforter or the bed skirt.  The softness of the sheets is going to determine how well you sleep. Buying sheets is not quite as easy as it used to be because there are so many different kinds of fabric. You may go to a store thinking you want plain white cotton sheets or a polyester/cotton blend only to realize that there are so many more selections than that.   Have you ever wondered what bamboo sheets are and did you ever think about buying them, but hesitated because you didn’t know what you were buying?  I am going to explain what bamboo sheets are and their benefits. 

100% bamboo sheets are 60% more absorbent than cotton.  Less pesticides are used when growing bamboo vs. cotton and bamboo is naturally irrigated making them environmentally friendly and perfect for people with allergies or chemical sensitivities. Bamboo is also very resistant to dust mites.  Bamboo sheets are comfortable in all temperatures.  Bamboo is much softer than cotton and is actually one of the softest fabrics in the world.  Bamboo cotton sheets hug the body just like silk sheets do.  Bamboo sheets are also easy to care for.  They are machine washable in cold water.  Delicate cycle with mild detergent, no bleach and tumble dry on low heat.

Remember, bed sheets are a critical factor in feeling the quality of your bed, and as we spend on average one third of our life there, we may as well make it as comfortable as possible, so buy good quality bed linen so you can get the good night rest that you deserve!
