Advantages of Bamboo Sheets

Comfort  – When you’re looking for new bedding, your #1 concern is likely how comfortable it is. Viscose from bamboo bedding has a phenomenal advantage over other types of bedding when it comes to comfort. Bedding made of viscose from bamboo is extremely soft and silky, much more so than traditional cotton. It is also more breathable, which means it won't trap excess heat under the covers with you; you’ll stay cool and comfortable no matter the season.


Healthy  – Bamboo viscose fabric can reduce allergies because it reduces the amount of moisture in your bed, which discourages one of the primary triggers of allergies, dust mites, from breeding in your bed. These advantages are fantastic if you have children since they can be more sensitive to allergies and bacteria than adults. Cozy Earth now carries crib sheets and twin-size sheets for kids!


Durable – Bamboo viscose as a fabric is more durable than traditional cotton. Cozy Earth’s bamboo bed sheets are made of viscose from bamboo that is stretched across the entire length of the sheet rather than short fibers being interwoven together, making viscose from bamboo bed sheets less likely to tear and pill than traditional cotton sheets.


Bamboo viscose is also unabsorbent, which means it won’t absorb the oils from your skin. This also means they won’t discolor over time like traditional bed sheets, and they will look brand new for years to come.

Bamboo Viscose Bed Sheet Cons 

 Expensive  – The one complaint about viscose from bamboo bedding is that it is expensive. While it’s true that the initial cost is higher, the value that you get from your bamboo viscose bed sheets will last for years, which means they won’t have to be replaced as often as traditional cotton sheets. When you don’t have to constantly replace your sheets, you save more money over time.
