Cooling Bamboo Bedding for Night Sweats

Excessive sweating at night can be a nightmare for sufferers. Caused by many different factors, including the menopause, stress, anxiety and environment, night sweats impact the quality of sleep in the following ways:

Sleepers wake up soaked, meaning they change bedding in the middle of the night.
Interferes with the natural REM cycle and deep sleep stages.
The body’s reaction to this condition is to try to cool down its temperature, so there’s the added physiological reaction of shivering and feeling cold.
Sweat on sensitive skin can cause irritation, a rash or even an infection.
Worsen or lead to anxiety around bedtime, making it harder to drift off, resulting in long-term effects of insomnia and depression.

Bamboo bedding can help to resolve the side effects of sweating at night. Natural and highly breathable, bamboo encourages airflow and can draw up to 40% more moisture away from the skin compared to cotton. At Panda, we are at the forefront of the industry for our innovative use of signature bamboo fibre in bedding and sleep products.

The Summer Bamboo Duvet (4.5 tog)

If you’re already feeling a little hot under the collar, a thick tog duvet won’t help, especially if it’s made from synthetic materials. At Panda, we’ve created an ultra-thin summer bamboo duvet. Like a breath of fresh air, it's ideal if you like the weight of a duvet at nighttime; you can remain cosy without overheating in its soft and fluffy texture. Our 4.5 tog Summer Bamboo Duvet is filled with an innovation of 50% Bamboo Microfibre and 50% Nano-Microfibre™, making it super lightweight, and also providing the benefits of bamboo below:

Regulating your temperature if you’re too warm, its fibres cool you down and make sure you’re at the optimum temperature for sleep.
Highly breathable, the Summer Duvet 4.5 tog is naturally hypoallergenic, so it’s suitable if you suffer from allergies.
Night sweaters have the added benefit of the duvet being moisture-wicking, keeping them dry throughout the night.
For hot sleepers, this is an ideal duvet for all-year-round comfort, not just in the summer months.

Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow

High time for a new pillow? As well as cooling bamboo sheets and duvet, a bamboo pillow for night sweats is a good investment. Encased in a removable pillow which can be washed in the machine, the main benefits for those who sweat during the night are:

Our Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow wicks away moisture while you sleep, so if you overheat and sweat, it’ll keep your pillow dry and fresh.
With an antibacterial component, the pillow is resistant to dust mites and allergens, optimising sleep hygiene.

Designed with ergonomic support, the 3rd generation memory foam inside the Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow intelligently contours to your sleeping position and aligns the neck and spine. That’ll keep your mind at rest.

Hybrid Bamboo Pillow

If you need extra cooling benefits from a pillow, our Hybrid Bamboo Pillow has Active O₂ Micro-pods™ inside the foam to enhance breathability and airflow, giving you a fresh side of the pillow feeling every night. Ideal for those who sleep on their side or back, another unique aspect of our Hybrid Pillow is the bamboo memory foam infused with charcoal, as well as providing cooling benefits, the pillow supports you by aligning the spine. Our Hybrid Pillow alleviates the symptoms of nighttime sweating by:

Regulating fluctuations in temperatures.
Wicking away moisture and neutralising odour.
Providing a cool fabric against the skin.
Quick moisture evaporation, thus reducing sweat on the face and neck.

Ideal for those who sleep on their side or back, the Hybrid Bamboo Pillow has a removable cover which can be washed in the machine. It’s a good idea to dress your bed in breathable bamboo bedding for the freshest of bedtimes. Add an extra layer of protection by covering it in a 100% Bamboo Pillow Case from our collection. This makes our Hybrid Bamboo Pillow head and shoulders above the rest.

Bamboo Mattress Topper

Providing a supportive and refreshing bamboo bedding for hot sleepers is our Bamboo Mattress Topper. An extra 5cm HydroFoam™ layer could make the difference between breaking out into a sweat or remaining cool, calm and collected. With a soft antibacterial and moisture-wicking bamboo cover adding another layer of breathability, the Bamboo mattress topper's cooling benefits are:

A gel-infused topper quickly dissipates body heat.
A cooler sleep surface on any mattress.
Reduces humidity against the skin.

To make the most out of a bamboo mattress topper and its cooling features, you should attach it to an existing mattress (it secures with elasticated straps); this doesn’t necessarily have to be a bamboo mattress, it could be an old mattress that traps heat and needs rejuvenation from a topper. We recommend you rotate your topper every month to maintain its durability.

Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Pro

Complete the ultimate set-up for your sleep with our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Pro. Designed with six layers of sleep technology, it has seven zones of full-sized premium pocket springs to minimise movement disturbances from a partner. Offering a layer of BioCell Foam™, fresh bamboo-infused open-cell memory foam, it transforms your rest; highly breathable and odour-resistant, it also provides advanced support. Topped with a removable thermoregulating bamboo cover, you’ll be all set for many comfortable nights. Our Hybrid offers cooling benefits below:

Zoned springs create natural ventilation from the mattress base to the top.
BioCell™ gel foam actively draws heat away from the body.
Bamboo cover enhances moisture-wicking at the surface.
Deep airflow pathways reduce trapped body heat.
Supports even temperature distribution, cutting down on hot spots.

Rest assured, with our Hybrid Mattress, you’re getting a Pro, as it has all the same refreshing advantages of our Bamboo Mattress Topper, but you will get double the benefits of hygiene and breathability if you do decide to opt for both.

Conclusion

To put this post to bed, we’ll recap the cooling solutions bamboo bedding can bring to those who struggle with night sweats. All of our bamboo products provide thermoregulation to help you maintain a comfortable temperature for sound sleep.
