BedVoyage Luxury 100% viscose from Bamboo Pillowcase Set - Sky - Final Sale/No Returns

Viscose from Bamboo is best cared for by washing in warm water with an eco-friendly liquid detergent, and drying on medium heat. Proper washing will extend their life; you can expect to get 5-6 years from your linens with proper laundering.  Using hot water and high heat can cause any linens to pill, which are the uncomfortable bumps you’ll see on some sweaters. Also, bamboo has natural bacteria-resistance so if you’re used to using bleach to kill any bacteria, there is no need to do so with bamboo. A great benefit for your health and the environment!

We recommend a mild liquid detergent like Ecos, Mrs. Myers, Woolite, Seventh Generation, ECover, or Kirkland Ultra Clean. We do not recommend bleach, fabric softeners, washer balls or dryer sheets/balls. We’ve noticed that harsher detergents can break down the fibers faster, shortening the lifespan of the linens and creating tears at the seams. 

BedVoyage linens are manufactured responsibly at some of the largest home textile factories in India. Our factories have passed a stringent 25 point review process by many US retailers, as well as yearly passing the Social Responsibility Audit. This ensures that there is no child labor, the workers are not over-worked or under paid, and work in an environment where there are safeguards in place to ensure their health and safety.  We work with Fair Trade and LEED certified factories, that have the Oeko-Tex Standard in Textiles certification. We are proud to be processing our bamboo in such a responsible factories!

No, our linens get softer and cozier when you wash them, not like the old 70’s satin where your pillow slipped off onto the floor!! They will simply feel luxuriously soft against your skin, and gentle to your hair.

We use an envelope enclosure on our pillowcases, so that your pillow does not escape while sleeping!

They will get a soft wrinkle where your head lies, but won't get a hard crease like cotton pillowcases do. We've chosen not to coat our linens with formaldehyde, which is what the cotton industry does to make them wrinkle-resistant, as we want to offer the most eco-conscious product we can so that you sleep healthier.

Viscose from Bamboo will shrink the first time you wash them, but we’ve oversized the linens to allow for that shrinkage. Bamboo does 'grow' between washes, but once laundered it shrinks back to its normal shape.

BedVoyage bamboo linens have a thread count of 300. People often think high thread count equates to softest feel, and you can spend $300-$800 on very high thread count cottons and not achieve the same feel as you can get with bamboo. Additionally, in the bamboo world, a thread count of 300 is quite high. We’ve chosen 300 thread count as the sweet-spot for keeping the breathability of the linens, but also the silky feel.

Oil or lotion stains can be removed by trying any of the following:

• Prewash the linens with ¼ cup Dawn dish washing liquid and then launder as usual, Dawn is a natural degreaser.

•Spray Oxy Clean or a chlorine-free stain remover directly onto the stain and then launder as usual.

•A mixture of 1-part white vinegar to 4-parts water, sprayed or poured onto the stain; this should remove the stains during laundering.

Both terms are virtually interchangeable and mean ‘the process’ of breaking down the bamboo stalk into a fiber. Because the end fiber is indistinguishable from other wood pulps (ie; eucalyptus, beech wood, pine, etc)  the Federal Trade Commission requires that it be called either viscose or rayon from bamboo. We have chosen to use both words in describing our fabric so that customers can recognize either term.

Yes, you can iron them and even use high heat and steam, it will not hurt them. But another trick is that if you dry them on high for the last 10 minutes of the cycle (if you forgot to take them out immediately) they will come out smoother. 

One of the remarkable qualities of viscose from Bamboo is that it’s thermal regulating. What that means is that if you sleep hot the bamboo fibers ‘sense’ the heat and will release it through the micro-gaps and holes in the fibers. Similarly, if you sleep cold it will sense that, and keep your warmth in around you. We call it a ‘smart fabric’ as it knows what you need!

If you use only one set, when cared for properly, our linens typically last for 5-6 years. If you rotate between several sets of linens, they will last about 7 years or more. 

No, we have used reactive dye to keep the colors deep and true. We don’t recommend bleach, and we do recommend laundering lights with lights, and dark with darks to keep colors from bleeding.

Yes, a set comes with 2 pillowcases, but if you need additional sets please visit our Pillowcase page.

BedVoyage offers some of the best-priced high quality 100% Bamboo linens in the country, it was important to us to offer the best price possible so that many people can experience the luxury of bamboo. We also have a fabulous collection of sizes and colors. 

Yes, you can. Once they are dry, if you’d like to keep the silky softness just toss them in the drier on medium heat for 5-10 minutes.

Yes, when you launder the fur will come off, or you can use a lint roller between laundry days. Remember bamboo has some antibacterial properties so your linens won’t accumulate the same amount of smell that cotton might, and rayon is anti-static so it won’t cling to pet fur and other lint like cotton will. As well, our twill weave means they are less likely to snag with pet claws than plain, satin weave sheets or knit sheets.
