Highly Absorbent & quick to dry
Bamboo is made mainly from plant cellulose fibres; these fibres naturally suck up moisture. However, it is also three to four times more absorbent than cotton. Due to its hydrophilic & hydrophobic properties. When cotton and the majority of other fabrics are wet, they remain wet for a long time, unlike bamboo, which releases the moisture onto the fabric's surface to evaporate. As a result, our towels are super quick to dry with no musty odour smells. Bamboo is, therefore, the perfect towelling material, and we have not even discussed its superior softness.
Why is bamboo so soft
Bamboo fibre is naturally soft. Bamboo is characterised by long rounded fibres, in contrast to cotton and many other fabrics, which have jagged edges, making the material feel rough against the skin, which could cause irritation. Therefore, bamboo is an excellent option for people who suffer from eczema, skin conditions and sensitive skin.
Un-dyed natural fabric
Our un-dyed bamboo fabric used on all our products ensures no harmful chemicals have been used in the manufacturing process. This makes bamboo products the perfect option for babies who suffer from eczema, asthma, skin conditions and allergies.
Eco-friendly & sustainability
The bamboo fabric used in all our products and the filling of our duvets and mattress protectors are fully biodegradable and can be composted at the end of its life.
Our products are made from 100% bamboo, organically grown and fed by natural rainfall. During the growth of this bamboo, no fertiliser, pesticides or herbicides are used.
OEKO-TEX Standard
All of the bamboo we use in our fabrics is naturally and organically grown without the need for pesticides and fertilisers and is produced to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. This is an independent testing and certification system for textile raw materials, intermediates, and finished products at all production stages.
Caring for your bamboo is very important to achieve the long life expectancy that these products can offer.
Duvet covers, sheets & pillowcases
Use a non-biological detergent that does not contain optical brighteners, bleaching agents or enzymes.
- Do not use fabric conditioner. There is no need and it can reduce the breathability and absorbency.
- Cold or cool wash on a gentle cycle.
- Close duvet cover zips before washing.
- If washed at high temperatures shrinkage will occur.
- With modern detergents there is no need to wash at high temperatures, and cool washing saves energy, and money.
- Do not soak.
- Do not use bleach – it is harmful to the environment too.
- Line dry.
- Can be tumble dried or ironed but only on a cool setting.
- If excessive heat during washing or tumble drying is used excessive ‘pilling’ may occur.
- Bamboo, being a 100% natural product, is extremely absorbent and wicks away up to 40% more moisture than cotton does from the skin, therefore it will absorb any face creams or hair products etc. which may result in temporary discolouration which should go when washed. Washing at a higher temperature, with the help of a stain remover is recommended in this case.
Care for duvets

- Spot clean if needed and leave to air dry before using
Care for mattress protectors
- Shake regularly
- Spot clean if needed and leave to air dry before using
Care for pillows
- Plump the pillow regularly
- Spot clean if needed and leave to air dry before using
Care for robes
- Cool or cold machine wash using a non-biological detergent.

- With modern detergents there is no need to wash at high temperatures, and cool washing saves energy, and money. If washed at high temperatures, shrinkage will occur.
- Line dry.
- Can be tumble dried on a cool setting.
Care for towels & throws
- Use a non-biological detergent that does not contain optical brighteners, bleaching agents or enzymes.
- Wash towels before first use for maximum absorbency
- Do not use fabric conditioner. There is no need and it can reduce the breathability and absorbency.
- Cold or cool wash on a gentle cycle.
- With modern detergents there is no need to wash at high temperatures, and cool washing saves energy, and money. If washed at high temperatures, shrinkage will occur.
- Do not soak.

What Is Fabric Pilling?
Fabric pilling is the term for loose strands or balls of fibre that form on a piece of fabric. You’ve probably noticed these little bits of fabric on pillows, rugs, and furniture in your home.
Pilling is a common occurrence in most households. It’s not a fabric defect or fault from the manufacturer.
What Causes Fabric Pilling?
When fabric fibres become loose, they move around when we sit or brush up against them. The friction from people rubbing up against the fabric causes loose fibres to twist together into small balls.
Your washing machine also causes friction. This is why you’ll see fabric pills on towels, t-shirts, and sweaters as well as your bedding.
Pilling is completely normal and will go away once the excess loose fibres are gone. It doesn’t affect the durability or functionality of the fabric.
