Why are bamboo pillowcases so beneficial for hair?

The bamboo pillowcases made of bamboo fabric are as beneficial to the haircare as silk or more, thanks to a number of natural properties:  

Because the bamboo fabric is so smooth and is not a conductor for static electricity, your hair slides much better against the sheets and without friction during sleep.  Compared to other fabrics like cotton, bamboo does not absorb all the moisture of your hair so you don't wake up with tangle, dehydrated or frizzy hair. The bamboo pillowcases are recommended especially for curly or damaged hair. 

What are the sizes of our duvet covers and fitted sheets?

The duvet covers and fitted sheets sizes are manufactured based on the size of the mattress or bed. At the moment we are manufacturing bedding suited for 3 bed sizes: 150 x 200cm, 160 x 200cm and 180 x 200cm.

For the duvet covers we wanted to provide a longer and elegant bedside drape. Based on the size of the mattress for the duvet covers we have considered 25cm extra on the head of the bed and 40cm extra on each side of the bed.

  • 230cm width and 250cm length for bed size 150 x 200cm,
  • 240cm width and 250cm length for bed size 160 x 200cm, and 
  • 260cm width and 250cm length for bed size 180 x 200cm.

The fitted sheets are available in the 3 bed sizes mentioned above and we considered the height of the mattress of up to 25cm. The elastic bands of the fitted sheet provide a good hold to the mattress.   

       

Are the bamboo bedsheets long lasting?

You should not worry about the wear and tear of our bamboo fabric with every wash. Research shows that the bamboo fibres have strong durability, tenacity and stability. These make our bedsheets strong, enduring up to four times more than cotton.
This unique characteristic is due to the carbohydrates present in the bamboo plant composition which allows for it to grow up to 30m tall without breaking, even with strong winds or earthquakes. Hence why the bamboo wood is often used on construction sites and skyscraper buildings. 
 
 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

How to wash and care for bamboo fabric

Our bamboo fabric can be machine washed at 30º with a delicate/gentle cycle. Ideally use mild, liquid and bleach-free detergent. You do not need conditioner or softener; as they're already soft and with natural anti-odor properties. 

You can tumble dry low or delicate/gentle cycle at at 30º but we recommend to hang dry in a well ventilated space to minimize wrinkles. They dry fast due to the breathability property of the bamboo fabric. 

Iron at low temperature or steam. Easy iron fabric. For stuborn wrinkles, better to spray a bit of water or steam. Do not press the iron too strong. 

How to remove persistent stains off bamboo fabric

We explain how to remove stains from bamboo bedding using natural products without any harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric. This way your bedhseets will look brand new and will last longer.  
 Is important you wash the bedding right after it stains. Surprinsingly the white bamboo fabric has higher resistance to stains because the dye in the coloured bedsheets absorbs more the stains.  
Bamboo fibers are natural and we have plenty of natural options to remove the persistent stains.   
1. For majority of general stains like coffee or pet stains, use white vinegar. Mix one part vinegar for every 4 parts of water. Leave the stain to soak between 30 minutes and 2 hours. 
2. Lemon juice on the stain directly can also help. Leave it for about 30 minutes before washing. 
3. For oily or make-up stains your liquid dishwasher is a great ally because is a degreaser. Put a bit of the detergent on the stain and leave it for at least 30 minutes.   
4.  For grass or red wine stains the best is baking soda. Mix it with a bit of water to create a paste, pour it on the stain and leave it for maximum 20 minutes.    
You can then machine wash as usual at 30o, delicate cycle. Do not wash with hot water since will not get better results and can cause your bedding to shrink or lose its properties.
