Bamboo-derived bedding — typically viscose from bamboo or bamboo lyocell — occupies a specific position in the bedding market: silky and smooth like sateen, but with a natural moisture-wicking quality that makes it significantly cooler to sleep in. At Lulu and Georgia, the bamboo bedding collection brings together bamboo viscose and bamboo lyocell sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases chosen for the combination of their soft, cool hand and the breathable quality that makes them a practical choice for warm sleepers.
What bamboo bedding does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes bamboo viscose and bamboo lyocell flat and fitted sheet sets, bamboo duvet covers in solid neutral and earthy colorways, bamboo pillowcases in standard, queen, and king sizes, and coordinating shams. Most bamboo bedding in the collection is made from 100% bamboo-derived fiber or a bamboo-cotton blend. Colorways span classic white and ivory through a palette of soft, muted tones.
What is the difference between bamboo viscose and bamboo lyocell?
Both are bamboo-derived fibers, but lyocell (sometimes marketed as TENCEL Lyocell from bamboo) uses a closed-loop manufacturing process that recycles the solvent used in production — it is more environmentally responsible than viscose processing, which uses an open-loop process. Both produce a soft, silky fabric; lyocell tends to be slightly more resistant to pilling. For bedding performance, both are excellent choices; for sustainability, lyocell is the better option.
Is bamboo bedding good for hot sleepers?
Bamboo-derived bedding is one of the best choices for hot sleepers — bamboo viscose and lyocell are highly moisture-wicking, breathable, and have a naturally cool hand that does not trap heat the way cotton sateen does. The fiber also has natural temperature-regulating properties that help maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature in warm climates or for people who run warm at night. If coolness is the primary priority, bamboo and linen are the two best mainstream bedding fiber choices.
