Bamboo bed linen: towels, bathrobes, sheets

Bamboo bed linenBamboo –an environmentally friendly, natural material that has long been known both in the East and in the West. And it would be a sin not to take advantage of such a fast-growing plant - after all, a bamboo stem grows by 1 cm per day and does not need any fertilizers for this. Terry towels, robes and bed linen made of bamboo have long been popular in Europe and the USA. And there are reasons for this. According to manufacturers, bamboo fiber is superior in quality to 100% cotton. Bamboo towels are softer to the touch, absorb 3 times more moisture and have a silky sheen (while natural cotton is matte). A towel measuring 50 x 100 cm, for example, can absorb up to 1.5 liters of water. Bamboo products are very wear-resistant - they can withstand up to 500 washing cycles without losing their original color or changing in size. Expert opinionIrina Danilina, owner of home salonstextiles Today, bamboo fiber is quite often used in the textile industry. It is believed that it meets most of the requirements of modern consumers: good absorption capacity, softness and shine, wear resistance and ease of care. Bamboo fiber also has special natural properties - antibacterial and deodorizing. It protects well from ultraviolet rays. Despite the positive characteristics of bamboo, I believe that it is wrong to compare it with cotton. These materials are similar, but the main properties of the products depend more on the quality of the raw materials and their subsequent processing.Bamboo bed linen New York, LoveBedding, 4,398 rubles. The main property of bamboo products, valued in the West - is their environmental friendliness (by the way, a property that causes a lot of controversy). Unlike other antibacterial fabrics that have undergone preliminary chemical treatment, this fabric has natural antimicrobial properties (bamboo itself in nature is practically not susceptible to pest attacks). As a result, products based on bamboo fiber are suitable for people suffering from allergies and asthma. Bamboo fiber also has a good porous structure, due to which moisture is instantly absorbed by the fabric and evaporates. Due to this property, bed linen creates comfort during sleep, regulating your body temperature. By the way, it is made not only from 100% bamboo, but also from blended fabrics - 50% bamboo, 50% cotton. And finally, bamboo towels are in no way inferior in appearance to regular cotton ones: they can be of various colors, they are decorated with embroidery, applique and embossing. If desired, you can order a whole batch of such "exotics" for branded gifts. Test results show:

more than 70% of bacteria trapped on bamboo fiber are destroyed naturally;
After processing, bamboo fiber has a rounded and smooth surface, which is why the products do not cause irritation on human skin.
