by Yoga Bedding in London, England, United Kingdom
On the 30th November 2020 we'd raised £5,109 with 13 supporters in 104 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We would like to make our bedding available in a wide range of sizes and colors.
How is our bedding different to all other bedding available in the market?
Yoga Bedding's "secret sauce" is the fabric. It is 95% bamboo 5% elastane jersey that can take your sleeping experience to new heights :)
What is so Special about the Knitted Bamboo Fabric used by Yoga Bedding?
Yoga bedding uses a special type of bamboo viscose. Because the fabric is knitted rather than woven it is ultra soft, supple and elastic. This fabric is traditionally used for baby clothes and high-end yoga apparel.
What Makes Bamboo Fabric so Special?
It is good for your body
Bamboo is Softer than Cotton
Viscose from bamboo has been compared to some of the most luxurious fabrics like silk and Egyptian cotton. Another plus to this amazing soft material is that it is also hypo-allergenic and can be worn by anyone without causing any allergic reactions or skin irritation whereas that is not always the case for cotton.
Bamboo is More Absorbent and Breathable than Cotton
Bamboo is 40% more absorbent than even the finest organic cotton, wicking moisture away from the skin much faster and keeping you dry and comfortable easier. Bamboo can take in three times more water than its weight which once made into a fabric, means that it also is able to get rid of moisture faster.
Bamboo Smells Better and Stays Cleaner
One of the most amazing properties of bamboo itself is that it has antimicrobial properties referred to as “Bamboo Kun”. These natural antimicrobial bio-agents make help reduce bacteria that thrive on clothing and other materials as well as on the human skin.
It is good for your soul
Growing bamboo is good for the environment as opposed to growing cotton.
Bamboo is grown without use of fertilizers or pesticides
Bamboo is naturally resistant to insects or infecting pathogens and has always been grown without pesticides where cotton requires 1/3 pounds of fertilizer per pound and - in the USA for example - is determined to use 25% of all chemical pesticides used on crops.
Bamboo needs no irrigation
Bamboo is a self sufficient crop that only needs rain to grow and uses water much more efficiently that cotton and other trees. It requires only 1/3 the amount of water to grow than is necessary for cotton.
Bamboo is a self replenishing resource
Bamboo doesn't need replanting. The miracle of bamboo is that it will sprout on its own and yields 10 times more per hectare than cotton. Cotton needs harvesting and re-planting each year. Some species of bamboo can grow up to 4 feet a day and can be fully harvestable within 3-4 years all while replenishing the crop on its own.
It is good for your mind
During these uneasy times it becomes increasingly important to remind ourselves of the need to have quality sleep, rest and relax in order to preserve our mental health and stay strong and resilient. More and more people are suffering burn-out, stress and depression. Hug 2.0 will give you a much better chance of waking up rested, refreshed and happy every day.
Hug 2.0 is super practical
We designed our duvet covers in a way that addresses the causes for three most common nuisances people told us they had from their duvet covers:
Nuisance 1 - Buttons. They are a pain to close/open. They break in a washing machine. Duvets keep protruding through the gaps between the
Our Solution - concealed zip closure that works like a dream.
Nuisance 2 - Wrinkling. After washing duvet covers - especially those made of woven bamboo fabric - look awful without ironing.
Our Solution - knitted bamboo fabric looks good after washing without being ironed.
Nuisance 3 - Duvet bunching up. Duvets keep moving around inside the cover.
Our Solution - corner ties.
