Bamboo sheets are as soft as cashmere and as smooth as silk.Why bamboo? Well, did you know that bamboo sheets are actually temperature regulating? No, really. What this means is that the bamboo fabric naturally stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, making bamboo sheets the perfect choice year round. Not only that, but it is naturally antibacterial and allergen free. Great for anybody & everybody.

Something else that makes bamboo sheets preferable over cotton sheets is that bamboo is a quickly and easily renewable resource. Bamboo plants can grow up to a foot per day. So there is no worry about using them up. Because bamboo can grow so densely, a bamboo forest can provide more product than a regular hardwood forest in the same area. Bamboo doesn’t need herbicides and pesticides to help it grow, making it a naturally organic product. (It gets better & better).

Speaking for Cotton, despite the fact that it is a natural fiber, cotton production is a very un-natural process using more chemicals per pound of cotton than any other money crop. And you know where all those chemicals end up don’t you? Some of it ends up in the clothing and other products made from cotton. But the majority of it ends up in the rivers and your water supply. You may think that you are doing the environment a favor by raising and eating organic foods, but the truth is your clothes, sheets, towels and other textiles will have more of an impact on the environment. So, not only are these bamboo sheets good for you, they are good for the environment too.
