The Benefits of Bamboo

Our Luxury Pyjamas are hand made using 95% Bamboo and 5% Spandex. There are a whole host of reasons, that we would love to share with you, as to why we selected Bamboo as the main material for our premium pyjamas.

Benefits for the environment

Sustainable Growth: Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth and can be harvested in 3-5 years. It requires minimal water and no pesticides, making it highly sustainable.

Carbon Sequestration: Bamboo plants absorb more carbon dioxide and release more oxygen into the atmosphere compared to many other trees. This makes bamboo cultivation an effective method for reducing carbon emissions.

Water Efficiency: Bamboo requires significantly less water compared to cotton and other traditional crops used in clothing production.

No Chemicals: Bamboo can be grown organically without the need for harmful chemicals and pesticides, which can be damaging to the environment.

Minimal Waste: The entire bamboo plant can be used, with very little waste, as various parts of the plant can be utilised for different purposes, such as construction, textiles, and food.

Bamboo Fabrics: The process of turning bamboo into fabric is typically more eco-friendly than traditional textile manufacturing methods. While the process may involve chemicals, many producers are adopting closed-loop systems to minimise environmental impact.

Biodegradability: When bamboo clothing reaches the end of its life, it naturally decomposes, reducing the burden on landfills.

Benefits for your body

Soft and Comfortable: Bamboo fabric is incredibly soft, making it comfortable to wear. It feels similar to silk or cashmere, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

Breathable: Bamboo fabric has natural moisture-wicking properties, keeping you dry and cool in warm weather.

Thermoregulation: Bamboo fabric adapts to your body temperature, keeping you warm in cool weather and cool in hot weather.

Hypoallergenic: Bamboo clothing is hypoallergenic and is less likely to cause skin irritation, making it suitable for people with skin sensitivities and allergies.

Biodegradable: Bamboo clothing is biodegradable, reducing the environmental impact when it eventually reaches the end of its life cycle.

In summary, Bamboo clothing offers a load of benefits to the environment and to your body. Choosing bamboo clothing can be a positive step towards both personal comfort and eco-conscious living. And thats exactly why we chose to use Bamboo at PLUSH.
