How Bamboo Sheets Regulate Your Body Temperature:
When your sheets allow air to pass through; you stay cooler. The threads or yarns of bamboo textiles have micro-gaps and holes in them. This allows heat to pass through and not be trapped. If you’ve ever slept on super high thread count cotton sheets, you may have noticed that you were overly hot and uncomfortable.
When a fabric description says 800 or 1000 thread count, it means how many threads there are, per square inch. The higher the number, the denser the weave, which means they won’t be very breathable. BedVoyage linens are 300 thread count, which we feel is the sweet-spot between being silky soft yet super breathable. The other benefit is that bamboo sheets are super absorbent, so they’ll wick moisture away from your skin faster than most other fabrics.
How to Keep Cool in Summer with Bamboo:
What we like to call the ‘summer bed’ is the stripped-down version of your spring or fall bedding. You can remove any blankets, down comforters or duvet covers, and simply use a Flat Sheet as your cover. If you need a little bit of weight for comfort, you can add a lightweight blanket or just use the duvet cover with noting inside it. BedVoyage offers a cooling bamboo quilt as well, called the Coverlet. Its pretty lightweight, and can easily be folded down, or pulled up as needed.
You can also consider switching out your big fluffy pillow for a smaller, lightweight pillow. Having a pillow that engulfs half your head while sleeping may feel great in the winter, but its overly hot in the summer. You can toss your bamboo pillowcase (and pillow if it will fit!) into your freezer for 10-15 minutes before bed and enjoy a nice cool place to lie your head as you nod off.
