Bamboo is a truly fascinating and luxuriously soft bedding material. To highlight that, we’ve put together some fun facts you might not know about bamboo.

1. Bamboo is a Type of Grass

   When looking at bamboo, it’s easy to assume that it’s a tree of some kind. It is, however, a member of the true grass family. This is why it grows so quickly and can mature fully within three to five years. 

2. Bamboo is Used in a Wide Array of Products 

   Bamboo has been used for a variety of purposes over thousands of years. This includes everything from bows and arrows to paper, kitchenware and medicine. In addition to bamboo sheets, pillows and other bedding, the team at Bamboo Haus also produces bamboo coffee cups, makeup pads and dryer balls from this incredibly versatile material. 

3. Bamboo Grows Organically and Naturally

   At Bamboo Haus, we proudly provide organic bamboo sheets. The awesome thing is, bamboo always grows organically at a fast and reliable pace without the need for pesticides, fertilisers or irrigation.

4. Bamboo Helps Reduce Greenhouse Gases

   Bamboo does wonders for the environment, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing 35% more oxygen back into the atmosphere compared to an equivalent number of hardwood trees.

5. Bamboo Fabric is Antibacterial and Hypoallergenic

   Bamboo naturally contains an antibacterial agent that reduces germs and irritation to the skin. These hygienic, allergen-friendly qualities make it a popular choice for bedding and clothing fabric. 

6. Bamboo Fabric is Moisture Absorbent

   Bamboo fabric also naturally wicks away moisture from the skin. This is one of the many reasons it’s such a popular choice for bedding. A bamboo fitted sheet is soft, breathable and keeps you dry and comfortable all year round.

7. Bamboo is a Great Soil Conservation Tool 

   Bamboo is also an excellent soil conservation tool. Unlike cotton, which degrades soil quality and creates run-off filled with pesticides and fertilisers, bamboo significantly reduces erosion while growing organically. Bamboo intercepts 25 per cent of rain, reducing run-off, preventing soil degradation and being an incredibly environmentally friendly crop to grow overall.
