Bamboo Basics: why this is the Wonder product of the future



Bamboo is being hailed as a new super material, with uses ranging from textiles to construction. It also has the potential to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, the biggest greenhouse gas, and provide some of the world's poorest people with cash.
Bamboo fibre fabric is made of 100% bamboo pulp fibre. It is characterized by its good hygroscopicity (ability to hold water), excellent permeability (breathable), soft feel, easiness to straighten and dye and splendid colour effect of pigmentation.

Features
• Softer than cotton, with a texture similar to a blend of cashmere and silk, making it the perfect choice for duvet covers and other bed linen.
• Because the cross-section of the fibre is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes, it has much better moisture absorption and ventilation. Moisture absorbency is twice than that of cotton with extraordinary soil release.
• Natural antibacterial elements (bio-agent “bamboo kun”) in bamboo fibre keep bacteria away from bamboo fabrics, making duvet covers, sheets and pillow cases less likely to harbour dust mite and other bacteria found in our homes.
• 100% bamboo yarns show a great elasticity i.e. nearly 20%. Even in 100% bamboo woven fabrics a remarkable elasticity can be obtained wherein the use of elastomeric fibres like elastanes may be eliminated.
• Bamboo fabrics need less dyestuff than cotton, modal or viscose. It seems that the absorption of dyestuffs is remarkably better. Bamboo absorbs the dyestuffs faster and shows the colours better.
• Products of bamboo fibre is eco-friendly and bio-degradable.

With such wonderful natural properties, this fabric is a natural choice for our bed linens. 100% Bamboo Ltd offers duvet covers, sheets, pillow cases, blankets and towels made from viscose from bamboo fibre and carries a 400 Thread Count, making it soft and silky to the touch, while retaining  the naturally occurring benefits of bamboo such as thermal regulating, anti-fungal,  quick drying, moisture wicking and durability
Duvet covers come in two different designs, Stripe or Floral and an option of Single, Double, King and Super King.
