Bamboo Bedding – A Guide to Buying and Sizes

Short answer: Bamboo bedding is soft, breathable and temperature-regulating, and it comes for both single and double duvets. Choose the size to match your duvet, check that the bedding is certified, and wash it gently so it lasts for many years.

Why so many people choose bamboo bedding

Bamboo viscose feels silky soft against the skin and wicks moisture away, so you sleep drier and more comfortably. The material breathes better than densely woven cotton and feels cool in summer and warm in winter. Read more about how bamboo bedding gives you a better night's sleep.

Find the right size

Bedding is chosen according to the measurements of your duvet, not your bed. For an ordinary single duvet, bamboo bedding in 140x200 is the right fit, while a long duvet needs 140x220. If you have a double duvet, you will find the size in the full collection of bamboo bedding. Remember a bamboo fitted sheet for the mattress too.

Quality and care

Go for OEKO-TEX certified bedding, so you know it has been tested for harmful chemicals. Wash at 40 degrees without fabric softener, and preferably avoid tumble drying. If you want to compare with classic cotton, you can read our article on bamboo bedding versus percale cotton.
