Can a fabric that seems thin really be more practical than thick cotton or polyester fleece? Yes! Organic bedding made of bamboo fibers is one of the most absorbent options you can possibly choose, making the issue of thickness irrelevant.
What makes bamboo grass such a fast-grower is also what makes it such an absorbent organic bedding fiber - it has an extraordinary ability to soak up water in the wild and as a textile. In fact, bamboo has been shown to be three to four times more absorbent than cotton.
Not only that, but bamboo is able to wick away moisture from your skin - whether you're wearing bamboo clothing or sleeping in bamboo sheets - which helps to keep moisture away from your body so that you're more comfortable and dry.
How bamboo's absorbency benefits your organic mattress and bedding:
Bamboo bedding is more absorbent than cotton sheets regardless of the thickness of the textile. That means your soft bamboo sheets will provide many benefits for you even if they feel thinner than your conventional cotton sheets. Bamboo's absorbency has many positive benefits for your organic sleep system. Consider, for instance, all of these advantages to having bamboo sheets:
1. You and your family will be dry, even during periods of high humidity.
2. Bamboo clothing and sheets both absorb perspiration so that you can remain comfortable.
3. By wicking away moisture from your skin, you avoid rashes and mold and mildew growth, all of which is highly beneficial for people suffering from allergies.
Bamboo is far more absorbent than most of the other fabrics you could use for your organic bedding - it beats out organic cotton, synthetics like polyester and rayon, and even fleece.
Bamboo absorbency comes in handy in many organic fabric applications:
Bamboo can be used to make organic bedding, but it also is useful for many other purposes.
Diapers and children's bedding: It can be a real pain to have to change your child's diaper and the sheets in the middle of the night after an accident. Bamboo diapers are super absorbent, holding a huge amount of liquid all night so your child is more comfortable and your organic mattress is protected. If you don't have bamboo diapers but you do have bamboo sheets, you'll still be protecting your mattress and your child's skin for moisture until the morning.
Towels: Bamboo makes a great choice for towels and dish clothes as it soaks up moisture and makes drying and cleaning up quick and easy.
Socks and underwear: Using bamboo fabrics to make socks and underwear means you'll be more comfortable at every layer of your attire. And since these pieces of clothing will absorb perspiration more effectively, you'll have fewer odor issues as well.
Sleepwear: It's one thing to use bamboo sheets, but bamboo can also be used to make sleepwear so that you have double moisture protection while you slumber.
Feminine hygiene products: Like diapers, absorbency is highly beneficial in reusable cloth pads. Bamboo is a fantastic textile for this purpose, and its softness adds an extra layer of comfort.
So don't let the thickness of your bamboo bedding or clothing fool you. This highly absorbent material has more functionality than meets the eye.
