Bamboo Sheets Guide: Thread Count, Weave and Care
Bamboo bedding can vary considerably in feel and quality. Understanding the fibre, weave and care instructions makes it easier to compare products.
What Does “Bamboo Sheets” Mean?
Most soft bamboo bedding is made from regenerated cellulose fibre derived from bamboo, commonly labelled viscose from bamboo. This process creates a smooth fibre that can be woven into lightweight bedding.
What Does Thread Count Tell You?
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. It can help describe the fabric, but it should not be treated as a quality score on its own. Fibre quality and weave are equally important.
Why Choose Sateen?
Sateen uses a weave structure that creates a smooth face and soft drape. Bamboo sateen is popular for people who want softness without the crisp texture of percale.
How to Wash Bamboo Sheets
- Wash in cold water with similar fabrics.
- Use a mild detergent.
- Avoid bleach.
- Tumble dry on low or air dry.
- Avoid excessive heat, which can stress fibres over time.
