Shopping: Bamboo Sheets and Bedding for your Home

Bamboo sheets and bedding are a beautiful option to cotton or synthetic bedding. They feel like silk to the touch and will keep you warmer in the winter (between 3-5 degrees) and cooler in the summer( again, between 3-5 degrees). They whisk the moisture away from your body and are naturally resistant to odors. Bamboo is hypoallergenic, and you can rest assured that bamboo sheets were not soaked in any dangerous chemicals that could come in contact with your skin while you rest at night.

Bamboo is the quickest growing plant in the world and offers a completely environmentally sound fabric. It's biodegradable as well, but you won't want to part with your soft, comfortable bamboo sheets any time soon.

If you are looking to turn your bedroom into an eco-friendly haven for you or your children, bamboo sheets and bedding is the way to go! Due to it's growing popularity, bamboo products are now readily available at many national retailers at a price that is completely comparable to cotton.

When shopping for bamboo sheets and bedding, there are a few things to look out for before making the purchase. Be sure to check the labels. Some sheet sets may be a blend of bamboo fibers with Egyptian cotton. If the cotton is not organic, the sheets are not completely "eco-friendly." Additionally, sheets with a blend of fibers may not give you the full advantages of 100% bamboo sheets.
