Bamboo, one of the earth's most sustainable resources and fastest growing plants, is native to Asia. It can grow up to 3 feet a day and reach heights of up to 90 feet. Bamboo plays a critical role in the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide as it releases 35% more oxygen than other plants, and is 100% biodegradable in soil by microorganisms and sunshine. The stalks are cut, not pulled by the root, making this plant a soil conservation tool. Furthermore, the growing and harvesting of bamboo requires no pesticides nor fertilizers, making bamboo an amazingly eco-friendly resource. Unlike the growing of cotton which requires huge quantities of pesticides to grow, some of which are the most harmful chemicals known to man.
Bamboo is praised as 'the natural, green and eco-friendly textile material of the 21st century' because of all of its amazing qualities. Bamboo fiber is made utilizing a high tech process from the raw material selected from non-polluted areas in Asia. BedVoyage linens are made in China from bamboo textiles.
Bamboo is naturally antifungal, anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic due to an inherent property known as 'bamboo zhukun' which prevents the growth of bacteria. 100% bamboo fiber exhibits a 99.8% kill-rate of SARS during a 24 hour incubation period, according to a study done by the China Industrial Testing Center (CTITC) in July of 2003. In a similar study results showed that bamboo fabric has
anti-bacterial efficacy greater than 70% even after 50 industrial washings. Bamboo fiber is mildew and odor resistant, which helps to maintain a healthy home.
As soft as silk and cashmere, yet highly breathable, bamboo fiber is three to four times more absorbent than cotten due to its unparalleled micro-structure. This allows the sleeper to stay drier and more comfortable than they would on other natural fabrics. BedVoyage bamboo sheets are thermal regulating, as their insulating properties keep you cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
There are so many fabulous benefits to sleeping on bamboo, you'll never want to go back to any other fabric!
