How Durable is Bamboo Fabric Compared to Others?
If you’ve never drifted off to sweet dreams on buttery bamboo sheets, you may be wondering if bamboo is really better than other bedding materials. After all, there’s so many to choose from, including bamboo, cotton, linen, and silk. Luckily for anyone with bamboo sheets from Bamboo Haus, bamboo fibre really does lead the way in terms of durability. Here’s how our bamboo sheet set stacks up to cotton, linen, and silk.
Bamboo vs. Cotton
Cotton is one of the most common fabrics out there, but bamboo is quickly catching up. Many sleepers prefer organic bamboo sheets for their sustainability and comfort. Not only is bamboo farmed without pesticides, but the longer fibres are stronger and hold up longer compared to tiny interwoven cotton threads. In addition to its durability, bamboo fabric is easier to clean than cotton.
Bamboo vs. Linen
Bamboo also beats linen as the more durable bedding, as big chunks of rough bamboo are carefully treated and stretched into deliciously soft sheets. It’s harder to damage bamboo sheets than it is with linen, which is more likely to fray and break over time. Bamboo is more elastic and adaptable, with that extra strength making a bamboo sheet set the better choice when you want sheets to last a lifetime rather than just a few years.
