Why bamboo sheets...you ask?

• To begin, let's take a look at advertised thread counts (T.C.). Many manufacturers cheat the system, so to speak, so a bedding set that purports to be 800 T.C., could in fact be a 400 T.C. The point being that your so called 800 T.C. sheet set, might have been packaged as a 400 T.C. sheet set, had another company manufactured the same sheets.

• To illustrate how and/or why this happens, let's delve in a little further. Some manufacturers will take a strand of fabric that contains two separate fibers, and call it two threads. Hence, they can double the advertised thread count for that product. The more ethical manufacturer would call this strand of fabric as it is - one thread.

• Bamboo fabric is so inherently soft, there is no reason to artificially increase the thread count. In case studies, bamboo sheets have been shown to be softer than even very high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets.

• While bamboo fabric is touted as the softest fabric around, its absorption abilities are 2nd to none. It has been tested and is two to three times more absorbent than cotton.

• In addition to its absorption attributes, organic bamboo wicks moisture at a rate that no other bedding fabric can match. In fact, the absorption and wicking abilities of bamboo outperforms many man-made athletic fabrics that have been developed for athletes.

• Bamboo sheets, as well as other bath, bedding, clothing and bamboo baby clothes and accessories, have antimicrobial properties that can do wonders for their users. For those that suffer from night sweats, bamboo bedding could be just the ticket, as it is incredibly absorbent, and will wick the moisture from your body like no other fabric.

• Lest you think that these are the only reasons that one should take a look at bamboo fabric products, the real icing on the cake is that bamboo is one of the most abundant plant resources on the planet. If a consumer is looking for 100% organic fabric for the home or clothing needs, it can be found in bamboo fabric. This is just the tip of iceberg...there is a wealth of case study information and other facts that you need to know in order to make an informed buying decision about your home goods.
