Bamboo Bed Covers: Making a Sustainable Change

Thinking about making better eco-friendly choices for your home? A renewable crop that can be harvested more sustainably than timber and with fewer pesticides than cotton, more families are making the switch to bamboo sheets Australia-wide.

Why? Read on to learn more about the benefits of choosing greener fabrics and why each piece is an investment-worthy choice for your home.

Bamboo Doonas, Duvets, and Quilt Covers

If you’re new to the market, chances are you’ve heard about cotton, linen, and silk —and the idea of a fabric derived from grass shoots may seem off the cuff. We get it! To keep things simple, here is a quick overview of the different fibres used in most bedding materials:

• Linen: Most often derived from flax, linen is a hard-wearing, long-lasting textile that is great for temperature control and breathability
• Cotton: An affordable household solution, most sheets on the market are made from cotton.
• Bamboo: A more recent development, bamboo sheet sets are coming to the mainstream market as a highly renewable, strong fibre that is soft, supple, and good for the earth.
• Silk: made from silkworm protein fibres, silk is a high-end, soft fabric that is smooth and sleek for a luxurious look.

Among the many differentiating factors, budget, feel, and look will likely influence your final choice. We also argue that environmental concerns should also be considered.

If you have been looking for earth-friendly alternatives for your home, bamboo bed linen, duvets, and quilt covers are:

• Harvested from highly renewable crops that can regenerate every 3-5 years.
• Can follow organic farming practices that eliminate the use of harsh pesticides, chemicals, and insecticides.
• Long-lasting. These grass fibres are strong and this durability is passed into the threads woven into our sheets.
