Turiform bamboo bedding and what you get

Short answer: Turiform makes the bamboo viscose bedding in our shop. The sets are meant for people who sleep warm, because the fabric moves moisture away from the skin instead of holding on to it.

What a set includes

A bedding set is a duvet cover and a pillowcase. The size of the duvet cover decides which set you choose, while the pillowcase is a standard size. Check your duvet measurements before ordering. See the range in bamboo bedding and read more about the bamboo duvet cover.

Why bamboo viscose in bed

Under the duvet, the temperature changes several times a night. A fabric that moves moisture away from the skin means many people do not wake up clammy. It is no guarantee, and if you have heavy night sweats, talk to your doctor. More in bamboo bedding for night sweats.

How the fabric feels

Bamboo viscose is smooth and feels cool when you lie down. It drapes softly over the duvet and creases less stiffly than cotton. Many find it lighter on the body, because it does not turn heavy after a full night of use.

The sizes

The most common Danish sizes are 140x200 and 140x220. Choose by the duvet, not the bed, because a 220 duvet in a 200 cover gets squeezed. A cover that is too big slides around. See bamboo bedding 140x200.

Together with the rest

If you want towels in the same material, see bamboo towels. Bamboo viscose absorbs well and dries quickly, which makes it practical in the bathroom too. With bedding and towels in the same fabric, you can wash both on the same programme.

Washing

Bedding is washed at 40 degrees without fabric softener. Softener leaves a film on the fibres that makes the fabric less absorbent. Turn the cover inside out and close the buttons so it does not collect other laundry. More in how to wash bamboo bedding.

Drying

Air drying is best for bamboo viscose. Hang the cover over a line or rack, and shake it well first so it smooths itself out. A tumble dryer wears the fibres faster and can make the fabric shrink slightly over time.

How many sets you need

Two sets let you change and wash without waiting. If you change every other week, two sets last all year. If you sleep warm and change more often, a third set can help, so there is always a clean one in the cupboard.

Switching from cotton

The first nights, bamboo viscose may feel different, because it is smoother and heavier in drape than cotton. Give it a week before you judge. Many notice the difference most in summer, when the fabric feels cooler as you lie down.

Storage

Keep clean bedding folded and dry in the cupboard. Store the duvet cover and pillowcase together, so the set is ready when you change. Avoid plastic bags for long periods, since the fabric does better when it can breathe while stored.
