Bamboo Bedroom Products: Bamboo Duvet

A good quality duvet can really transform the way you sleep at night, and a bamboo duvet is one of the best you can get. Lovely on the skin as well as being environmentally friendly, there are so many reasons to choose bamboo if you’re looking to purchase a new duvet for your home.

What is a bamboo duvet made of?

All the luxury of a down duvet without the need for those itchy feathers, our bamboo duvet is created with a blend of 50% bamboo microfibre and 50% Nano-Microfibre™ (which in itself is made of recycled water bottles!) then covered with 100% bamboo fabric. Softer than silk, fluffy, warm, and totally hypoallergenic – the feeling of a bamboo duvet is like nothing else.

What are the benefits of bamboo duvets?

With moisture-wicking properties and the ability to regulate your temperature as you sleep, you’ll wake up feeling fresher and so much more comfortable when you sleep under a bamboo duvet. Its insulating properties will keep you warm during the winter, but the breathability of bamboo means you’ll stay cool during those sticky summer months. Bamboo fabric is naturally antibacterial, giving you peace of mind as you drift off. A bamboo duvet won’t trap odour, and it disperses air evenly too.

How does bamboo impact the environment?

Growing and cultivating bamboo isn’t harmful to the environment, which is what makes it such an amazing choice for eco-friendly bedroom products. Requiring just one third of the amount of water that cotton does to grow, bamboo also doesn’t need any chemicals or pesticides – this ultimately protects the immediate environment. This wonder plant regenerates rapidly after being cut down for cultivation, and it grows far and wide. Renewable resources like this are so important for the planet, and with how long-lasting a bamboo duvet is there is much less waste created. Sustainability isn’t just about the environment itself, but about protecting communities; the bamboo industry provides jobs in rural areas where there may not be many other options.

How do you choose a bamboo duvet?

When making green living purchases like a bamboo duvet, it is important to choose a brand who are transparent in their environmental policy – we only have one planet, and looking after it is vital. Look for companies who are sustainable through and through, such as those who offer delivery in fully recyclable packaging like we do here at Panda. Certifications are important too: your bamboo duvet should be certified to Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® and free from any harmful substances. Make sure you measure your bed before making a purchase, to ensure you buy the right size!

What goes into maintaining and caring for a bamboo duvet?

Your bamboo duvet should last a long time, and ensure you get the most comfortable sleep night after night. This organic duvet will take care of you as long as you take care of it: wash it at a low temperature with eco-friendly products, and hang it out to air dry. It will dry in half the time of a standard duvet and stay super soft without the use of fabric conditioner.

Are there any other bamboo bedroom products available?

A bamboo duvet will ensure you get a good night’s sleep, but there are plenty of other sustainable bedroom products to complement your bedtime. From memory foam bamboo pillows to a hypoallergenic mattress, as well as breathable bedding that’s smoother than silk, there is a range of options available to ensure a non-toxic bedroom!
