{"title":"Bamboo split sheets","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBamboo split sheets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA split sheet is sewn for an adjustable bed. That is the type of bed where the head or foot end lifts on a motor, and where an ordinary sheet pulls tight, bunches at the corner or comes loose entirely every time the bed moves. The split in the sheet solves exactly that: the fabric is divided where the bed folds, so the sheet follows the movement instead of working against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur split sheets are 180x200 cm with a 20 cm skirt, and they come in two versions that are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eH60 or U80\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference is which end the split sits at. H60 has the split at the head end and is used when it is the headboard that lifts. That is the most common adjustable bed, where you raise the upper body to read or to sleep with your head high. U80 has the split at the opposite end and is used when the foot end lifts, usually for the sake of legs and circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a bed that can raise both ends, it is worth checking which end you actually use day to day. That is where the split needs to be. If you are unsure, the type is usually printed on the bed frame or given in the manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy bamboo viscose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn adjustable bed is often used by someone who lies in it for longer stretches, and then the material matters more. Bamboo viscose has thin, round fibres, so the surface is smooth and does not pull at the skin when you move. That reduces friction against the back and the heels, which is where pressure builds when you lie down a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time the fabric moves moisture. The fibres take it up faster than cotton and release it back into the air, so the bed does not turn clammy and the temperature stays even all night. The fabric feels cool as you lie down and does not heat up the way a dense cotton sheet does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to put it on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRun the bed all the way flat before you make it. Put the sheet on like an ordinary envelope sheet, with the closed ends folded over the head and foot, and make sure the split sits where the bed folds. Tuck the sides under the mattress last. When you raise the bed again, the sheet should follow without pulling anywhere. If it does not, the split is the wrong way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good sign that the sheet is on correctly: you can raise and lower the bed a couple of times without having to straighten anything afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWashing and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash at 40 degrees without fabric softener. Softener settles as a film around the fibres and takes both the smoothness and the moisture transport. Take the sheet out of the machine straight away and shake it out, and you skip the ironing. Tumble drying on low heat is fine, but the sheet dries quickly on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho makes them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe split sheets are from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nordic-weaving\"\u003eNordic Weaving\u003c\/a\u003e, which traces its history back to Nordisk Tekstil Væveri in 1874. The fabric is certified to OEKO TEX Standard 100 in product class I. That is the strictest class in the standard, the one that applies to textiles for infants, and it says something about what is not left in the fabric after production and dyeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the bed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need a different type of sheet for an ordinary bed, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bamboo-fitted-sheets\"\u003efitted sheets\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bamboo-envelope-sheets\"\u003eenvelope sheets\u003c\/a\u003e sit alongside the split sheets under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bamboo-sheets\"\u003ebamboo sheets\u003c\/a\u003e.
