Bedding made of bamboo - good and practical

Bedding made of bamboo is an innovation of textile production. To the touch it resembles a soft silk cloth, but it does not have the shine of an atlas. Most often bedding from bamboo is packed in branded beautiful packaging, in which it can be presented to friends and relatives, and it will be an excellent gift. Usually fabrics, from which this underwear is sewn, give a bright, with oriental motifs, color.

Studies have shown that bamboo underwear has many advantages:

- it is soft, as the bamboo fiber itself, from which it is made, is more delicate than cotton and close to silk in quality;

- has antimicrobial properties and does not cause irritation; it contains the "bamboo kun" component, due to which the propagation of harmful microorganisms is prevented;

- it creates comfortable conditions for sleeping, since bamboo fiber has a porous structure and absorbs moisture, and also evaporates it;

- Bamboo bedding is quite strong, as natural fiber has high strength for textiles;

- it is natural and environmentally friendly, because it is raw materials from which bed linen is made, bamboo grows in ecologically clean areas, in its biology.

This is the fastest growing plant, it does not require any fertilizers to accelerate its development.

Bamboo fiber is actually made from bamboo. For this purpose, the shavings and sawdust of the young raw plant's wood are treated with a strong alkali solution. Thus, the cellulose structure is softened and transformed into an adhesive mass. It is squeezed through minute holes with a diameter of no more than 30 microns, made in special plates made of stainless steel or precious metals, into an acid solution. In it, the cellulosic yarns solidify. Then they are washed with water and dried. These threads have a porous structure and villi. This explains the hygroscopicity of the bamboo canvas.

As a result of the research, it was found out that most microorganisms die on the surface of bamboo fiber material , and this effect does not weaken with time. Washing does not affect it either. Bamboo grows very quickly, at a speed of 15-20 m per month. Deforestation without damage to the topsoil to produce wood for raw materials does not cause damage to the environment, as they quickly renew. It is not necessary for such a fast-growing plant species and the use of various chemicals. Therefore, the production of bamboo cloth is quite inexpensive. As a result, there is an affordable, environmentally friendly, natural, bamboo cloth with hygroscopic and antibacterial properties on sale. Not only do they make a beautiful canvas, but also make fillers for pillows and blankets. There is a shortage of bamboo fiber, consisting of low tensile strength, especially in wet form. Therefore, the fabrics are made with a mixture of, for example, cotton plus bamboo fiber. The latter gives such tissues softness. Bamboo bedding is a product made from the most amazing plant on our planet. After all, bamboo, like a banana, is not a tree, but the largest cereal on Earth, the closest relative of wheat and barley.
