Mattresses

How firm are Panda mattresses?

Both our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress and Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Pro are medium-firm, with our original Hybrid rated as 6.5 on the mattress firmness scale, and our Pro rated as a 7. This offers a balance of comfort and support to keep you sleeping soundly.

Which bed bases can Panda mattresses be used with?

Panda mattresses are compatible with all bed bases including divans, slatted bases, bunk beds and more.

What mattress sizes are available?

Panda mattresses are available in all UK sizes from single through to super king, with the addition of EU sizes from single through to emperor.

How are Panda mattresses delivered?

Panda mattresses are delivered using a white glove, two man delivery service with room of choice delivery for additional convenience.

How long does it take for the new mattress smell to disappear?

The new mattress smell fades after 24-72 hours. A well-ventilated room helps it to dissipate quicker – kept in a closed or cold room, it may linger for a week. This process is also known as ‘off-gassing’, and it’s completely harmless.

Can you take my old mattress away?

Yes, we collect your old mattress free of charge as part of our service. Simply select the option at checkout and, once collected, we’ll responsibly recycle or repurpose your end of life mattress.

How soon can I sleep on my new mattress?

You can sleep on it immediately, but we would advise for you to wait six hours to allow for it to fully expand.

What are the care instructions for Panda mattresses?

Our bamboo mattress covers are removable, and our Pro mattress comes with a zip on the side to easily remove its top cover. Hand wash, or machine wash at 30 degrees. Do not tumble dry. The mattress foam should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use a household steamer, or sprinkle with baking soda before vacuuming off to deodorise your mattress.

Do I need to flip my mattress?

No, you don’t need to flip a Panda mattress; you can, however, rotate your mattress every six months for additional comfort and durability.

Toppers

What is a mattress topper and why do I need one?

A mattress topper is an additional layer which can transform a tired, uncomfortable mattress – making it a more affordable alternative to buying a new mattress.

What is the difference between the two Panda mattress toppers?

One major difference is in the depth; our Bamboo Mattress Topper is 5cm, while our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Topper is 7.5cm deep. The original Topper contains HydroFoam™, while our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Topper includes BioCell Foam™ and a micro-spring layer as well as a 3D mesh frame.

Is the Panda mattress topper compatible with all mattresses?

Our Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress Topper and Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Topper are both compatible with most standard mattress depths. We offer a 30-Night Trial – so if you’re not happy with the fit, you can return your topper for free within this time.

How do I set up my new mattress topper?

Simply remove the packaging, unroll and place on top of your mattress before securing with the corner straps.

Will the mattress topper slide off my mattress?

No, thanks to an anti-slip layer and four corner straps on each of our toppers, they will stay in place throughout the night.

Are the toppers suitable for use in caravans, campervans and tents?

Yes, both Panda mattress toppers are perfect for use on their own in tents, or as part of a bed set-up in caravans and campervans.

What are the care instructions for the Panda Memory Foam Mattress Topper?

What is a hybrid pillow?

A hybrid pillow refers to there being a combination of fillings. Most hybrids feature memory foam to relieve pressure points, mixed with a soft cushion-like microfibre or down-like fill for additional comfort.

Do Panda pillows require a pillow case?

Panda pillows come with removable bamboo covers, making them soft and comfortable to sleep on without a pillow case, but we would recommend pairing with a bamboo pillow to maintain the durability of your pillow.

Which sleeping positions are Panda pillows suitable for?

Panda pillows are orthopaedically approved and suitable for front, back and side sleepers.

Are these pillows suitable for children?

We offer specific child-friendly pillows in our Panda Kids™ range, with three sizes available for babies, toddlers and children.

What are the care instructions for Panda pillows?

The bamboo covers are removable and washable; never soak memory foam, instead wipe with a damp cloth and leave to dry thoroughly before putting the cover back on.

Duvets

What TOG duvet do I need?

Depending on the season of the year, you’ll need a different duvet TOG. As a guide, 4.5 TOG is light enough for the summer months, a 7-10.5 TOG is suitable for spring and autumn, and 13.5-15 TOG is best for winter.

What duvets do you offer?

Our Cloud Bamboo Duvet comes in three different options: the Cloud Bamboo Summer Duvet 4.5 TOG, the Cloud Bamboo Duvet 10.5 TOG, and the Bamboo Cloud 3-in-1 All Seasons Duvet, which includes our 4.5 and 10.5 to combine together to make a 15 TOG option.

What is a 3-in-1 all-season duvet?

A 3-in-1 all-season duvet is two separate duvets that fasten together, giving you three warmth options.

How do the two duvets in the 3-in-1 fasten together?

A pack of our SnuggleSnaps™ comes with the Bamboo Cloud 3-in-1 All Seasons Duvet, you use them to connect the duvets together through loops.

Can I use a bamboo duvet all year round?

Yes. A bamboo duvet is suitable all year round because it regulates your temperature to help keep you cool in the summer and warm in winter. Make sure you have the correct TOG for the season, if you want a TOG for all seasons the 10.5 TOG provides the perfect warmth. 

What are Panda duvets filled with?

The Cloud Bamboo Duvet is feather free and made with a unique 50:50 combination of bamboo and our ultra-thin Nano-Microfibre™, creating a lightweight and fluffy feeling.

What are the care instructions for Panda duvets?

Wash low in the machine at 30 degrees, or by hand. We recommend using eco-friendly detergents, and avoiding bleach. For best results, line dry, or you can dry your duvet in the tumble dryer on a low setting.

Linens & Bedding

The finish is also slightly different, with our 100% Bamboo and Signature+™ ranges having a beautiful sheen to them, while our Bamboo and French Linen range has a chic matte finish.

How many pillow cases come in a pack?

All of our pillow cases come as a pair.

What comes in a bedding set?

Our bedding sets all contain a duvet cover, fitted sheet and up to two pillow cases.

Why is my duvet cover larger than my duvet?

Our duvet covers come slightly larger than the size of your duvet because typically, bamboo fabric is prone to shrinkage within the first few washes; by giving you a little extra, this means that in the long term your duvet cover will be the perfect fit. You should also be sure to check that you have ordered the correct size for your duvet.

What are the inner ties inside the duvet cover for?

All of our duvet covers have inner corner ties, designed to attach to our Cloud Bamboo Duvet to prevent ‘duvet drift’ – so the duvet spreads evenly throughout the cover and doesn’t bunch up during the night causing cold spots.

What temperature can I wash my bedding at?

We advise you to wash your bamboo bedding at 30 degrees with eco-friendly detergent, without using bleach. Dry outside if you can for even fresher bedding!

Panda Kids™

Why is bamboo a good choice for kids’ skin?

Bath

Are bamboo towels absorbent?

Yes! Bamboo towels are ultra-absorbent. Our towels are combined with cotton, made using a zero-twist process which makes them fluffy and durable.

What does zero-twist mean?
