How Bamboo Bed Sheets Are Made

Sleep deeper with bamboo sheets, tread lighter on the planet.

If you’ve shopped with Bambusa before, you already know how much we love bamboo due the many benefits it offers! And it’s what we have become known for. But have you ever wondered how those tall stalks of bamboo are turned into bamboo sheets? Let’s take a look at how bamboo bed sheets, towels and cloths are made.

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world. In only two months, it can reach a height of up to 75 feet! Once the bamboo is harvested, it begins to grow back right away, regenerating itself very quickly. So no environmental upset results from the harvesting of bamboo.

Our supplier only uses bamboo that is organic, means naturally grown and free of pesticides. After the bamboo plants have been harvested, the bamboo stalks need to be broken down into fibers. After pulverizing, steaming and boiling, the plant has become pulp. At that point, the fibers can be extracted and spun into yarn. From the yarn, the bamboo is ready to be woven together to become fabric for bamboo products.

Along the way, the bamboo is dyed to create a range of fashion colours, each chosen for its likeness to colours in nature. All of our bamboo fabric is dyed using azo-free dyes materials, so you won’t ever have to worry about dangerous carcinogens touching your skin. All the yarn used in the production is OEKO-TEX 100 approved and has been approved every year for the last 5 years.
