Mother Nature really goes all out at this time of year, drenching the great outdoors in glowing hues. Cooler weather has us planning cozy nights by the fire and lazy Saturday morning sleep-ins under toasty warm covers.

Does fall have you hunting for pre-hibernation fabrics? You might want to consider green…not the color, mind you… but the earth-smart way of dressing your bed in eco-friendly linens and blankets. Why not celebrate the autumn season by buying new bamboo sheets in gorgeous earthy colors, like sky, grass, sable, hemp and lotus. Natural fiber bamboo sheets feel luxurious and quilted bamboo coverlets and shams top them off nicely, while adding a fresh dressed sparkle to your bedroom décor.

If you love the idea of eco-friendly bedding, here’s a look at why bamboo ranks as one of the best natural fibers for feathering your nest:

  • Bamboo doesn’t need a lot of help to grow; it flourishes without the need for fertilizers and pesticides.

  • It can be harvested in the same way as mowing your lawn; the plant itself isn’t harmed by cutting and growth continues between harvesting.
  • You’ll find bamboo listed in the Guinness Book of World Records; a certain species of this grass is the fastest growing plant on the planet.
  • Bamboo has remarkable strength; its nicknames are miracle grass or vegetable steel.

Bamboo Bedding

Natural bamboo sheets are considered better than cotton because of their ability to adjust to body temperature. Millions of tiny micro gaps in the fiber make it more breathable than cotton. That means you’ll warm up faster on those cool fall nights without overheating and in the summer months, you’ll stay cooler longer.

Bamboo throws, sheets and blankets are also naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, which means they keep their fresh feel and smell between washes. Considering that bamboo wicks water 3-4 times better than cotton, it’s no wonder it is fast becoming a fabric favorite for yoga and other sportswear.

People enjoy the soft feel of bamboo and appreciate its durability along with the fact that using bamboo products won’t harm the environment. So, go ahead and take the plunge. Fall into autumn on irresistibly soft-as-silk bamboo solid color sheets and assorted bamboo solid color bedding.
