Bamboo Pillows
I just took out my pillow and it is flat, how do I fluff it up?
Because its suppressed inside its casing, it will need 24 hours to sit before using. This will let the pillow expand and fluff up. You can also toss it in the dryer on low heat for 5 minutes to expedite the process.
How often should I replace my pillow?
We recommend replacing your bamboo pillow every 5 years.
Are the bed pillows machine washable?
Yes, we recommend washing your pillow every 6 months to 1 year.
Is my bamboo pillow adjustable?
Yes, we stuff our pillows with extra stuffing to make it firm. But you can always remove some memory foam to adjust how you like it (the more you take out, the softer it gets).
I like my pillow extra firm, do you have firm pillows?
Our pillows come firm already, but if you like it EXTRA firm, let us know and we’ll provide extra filling with your order.
Do I need a hypoallergenic cover for my pillows?
No, our bamboo casing is already hypoallergenic so you don’t need to purchase a second casing.
How do I wash my bamboo pillow?
Remove the outside casing from the pillow and make sure to wash separately. We recommend using a safety pin on the zipper so it won’t open while in the washer and dryer. Wash on delicate with cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Make sure the pillow is completely dry before using.
Bamboo Sheets
How do I wash my bamboo sheets?
We recommend washing our bamboo sheets on delicate with cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softener or bleach
How deep are the fitted sheets?
It depends on the collection — our Signature fitted sheets have a 15-inch pocket and Premium a 16-inch pocket. Every fitted sheet also has four corner straps, so it stays snug on mattresses up to 18 inches deep, including most pillow-tops. See our Size Guide for exact dimensions by size.
What is the thread count?
Bamboo thread count is very different from other fabric thread counts. Our 100% viscose-from-bamboo sheets, pillowcases & duvet covers are 300 thread count, but the feel is softer and more durable than even 1,000-thread-count Egyptian cotton.
I have a deep mattress, will the fitted sheet pop off on the corners?
Our fitted sheets fit deep mattresses up to 18 inches — the elastic garter wraps all the way around, and our 100% Bamboo Sheet Sets have 4 extra corner straps, so they're ensured to stay on your bed.
Can you bleach the white sheets?
No, bamboo fabric will weaken and turn yellow if you bleach it.
Will your bed sheets pill?
All fabrics will pill eventually. Luckily bamboo is more durable than other fabric and will last longer than even 1000 thread count cotton. If properly cared for, your bamboo sheets will last for years and years to come.
I am a cold sleeper while my husband is a hot sleeper, will these sheets work for us?
Absolutely! Our bamboo sheets are temperature regulating and will keep you both comfortable throughout the night.
I have an adjustable bed that is 2 twin XLs combined, do you have those?
Yes, we have our Split King size where you receive 2 fitted sheets, 1 flat, and 4 pillowcases. As long as your mattress is split all the way from top to bottom, our split king set will work for you.
Bamboo Pillowcases
How many pillowcases does each order come with?
Queen & Kings come with 2 pillowcases, Body & Lumbar comes with 1.
Do you offer individual pillowcases for your Blend Sets?
At this moment we do not offer individual pillowcases.
Are you pillowcases an envelope closure?
The only pillowcases that are envelope closure are the ones that come with the duvet cover set. Pillowcases with our sheet set and individual pillowcases do not have an envelope closure.
Weighted Blanket
How do weighted blankets work?
The science behind weighted blankets goes a bit like this: the added weight activates the effects of Deep Touch Pressure or DTP. This activation increases serotonin (the happy hormone) and melatonin (the sleepy hormone) and decreases cortisol (the stress hormone). All of this, combined with the sensation of a warm hug, and breathable cooling fabric is the magic of the perfect sleep!
What are the health benefits of using the Bamboo Weighted Blanket?
There are so many benefits of using a weighted blanket. It can improve sleep, reduce feelings of anxiety and stress, and help relieve pain. In particular, people with autism, fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, or sensory processing disorder have found that weighted blankets greatly benefits their health.
How long does it take to get used to sleeping with a weighted blanket?
It's important to allow your body to adjust to the additional weight with ease, especially if this is the first time you'e using a weighted blanket.
For night time, we recommend using the blanket over half of your body only for about a week. Once the week is up, you can slowly move the blanket to cover your body to adjust to the weighted added. This may take up to 21 days for your body to fully adjust.
Should I sleep with a weighted blanket if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
While sleeping under weighted blankets can help with common sleep disorders like restless leg syndrome, we do not recommend it for those with medical conditions like sleep apnea. If you want to give it a try, we highly recommend consulting with your doctor first.
Can I use a regular duvet cover with my weighted blanket?
No. Our Weighted Blankets are designed to be smaller than traditional comforters and duvets so it will not fit regular duvet covers. The bamboo weighted blanket comes with 1 bamboo cover, so no need to purchase a cover separately.
