Snuggling with a soft and cozy blanket is essential to staying warm and falling asleep faster and easier once the temperatures drop. Organic blankets made of materials like bamboo are environmental-friendly, feel exceptionally soft and provide the comfort you’re looking for. They are hypoallergenic, thermoregulation and are definitely a worthwhile investment.

Natural fabrics are more breathable and more comfortable to wear as they don't make you sweat that easy. Buying bamboo blankets is a smart idea due to various reasons. This material is raw and strong. Its fibres are spun into the fabric making the blanket durable, eco-friendly and oh-so-cozy. Plus, you won’t have to worry about it losing its softness and colours even after you have washed it a hundred times. It is an especially great choice for babies and kids.

Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet (it grows almost one meter per day). Compared to cotton, which needs up to 2400 litres to produce about 500 grams of fabric, bamboo needs only 45 litres. Keep in mind that bamboo doesn’t need replanting once it's harvested; its root keeps growing new stems. Besides less water, this plant also doesn’t require a lot of fertilizers or pesticides, which makes it the ideal eco-friendly choice for your clothes and blankets.

For thousands of years, people from East Asia have used bamboo to make fabric. India and China have been also producing bamboo fabric for centuries now. In fact, India has bamboo festivals every year. Today, bamboo is grown pretty much everywhere around the world as it can easily grow in different climates. But, to this day, China remains the biggest producer of this fabric.

Comfortable – Incredibly soft to the touch, organic bamboo blankets will steal your heart immediately. No matter what type you choose (whether a light blanket to keep you cozy in the warmer nights, or a heavy blanket to keep you toasty) the great comfort it provides is undoubtedly one of its biggest perks.

Thermal control - Keeping you warm without making you sweaty is undoubtedly a pretty great feature. Bamboo blankets are thermoregulating, which means they will keep you cozy regardless of the weather outside.

Hypoallergenic – Did you know that bacteria have almost no chance of surviving in bamboo fabrics? This is excellent news for anyone who suffers from allergies and needs an antibacterial and hypoallergenic fabric.

Odourless – Due to the fact that these organic blankets allow air to circulate, they don't absorb odours and will remain smelling fresh and nice for longer.

Machine washable – Strong, durable and easily washed in the machine, organic bamboo blankets don't require any special maintenance. Just read the label and wash it accordingly.

There are three main types of bamboo fabrics, so before you purchase your blanket, make sure you know what material you’re getting.

Mechanically-produced bamboo fibre – This is perhaps the only true bamboo fabric. It can be pricy, but you'll be definitely getting a lot of value for your money. It takes longer to be produced and is super durable, soft to the touch and has all the bamboo properties I've mentioned above.

Bamboo viscose – Almost identical to other viscose types, in this case, viscose is used to lower manufacturing costs, thus slightly reducing the quality of the material.

Lyocell - Similar to viscose, this fabric is made with a closed-loop production method. The fabric gets a lot of the fine qualities of the mechanically-produced bamboo fabric. It works well and it is often more affordable.

Buying a bamboo blanket is a smart investment for many different reasons. It might be challenging to find the ideal one for your needs, considering the fact that the online market offers a lot of choices. However, make sure you always shop from reputable stores and check reviews to make the most out of your purchase.
