Bamboo bed linen combines a silky-soft feel with natural breathability – a gentle alternative to cotton for anyone who tends to get hot whilst sleeping or is sensitive to synthetic fibres. This guide explains what makes bamboo viscose special, how it is processed and what you should look out for when buying it.
What is bamboo bed linen?
Bamboo bed linen is usually woven from bamboo viscose – a fibre derived from bamboo pulp and spun into a fine, smooth yarn. Bamboo itself is a fast-growing grass. Unlike pure cotton, its surface feels cool against the skin and has an almost silky feel. Our Boomba bamboo bed linen is woven with a high thread count of 400, giving it a substantial, even texture.
Breathable and temperature-regulating
Bamboo viscose absorbs moisture well and releases it just as quickly – an effect that is particularly noticeable on warm nights. Anyone who tends to sweat easily or sleeps restlessly in summer will benefit more from this natural temperature regulation than they would with densely woven cotton.
Hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin
The smooth fibre structure of bamboo viscose offers less surface area for dust mites to colonise and is less likely to irritate sensitive skin than some synthetic fibres.
Care: How to keep bamboo bed linen looking its best for longer
Wash bamboo bed linen gently at a low temperature and avoid high heat when drying. This ensures that the fibre’s characteristic softness is retained through many washes, and the colours fade more slowly.
