Our ten inch Wilshire mattress is made using eco friendly green memory foam technology. Eco-friendly bamboo yarn has many benefits for health, besides being beautifully soft to the touch. Highly absorbent, it keeps you cool and dry, and has a natural deodorant action too to keep the cover fresh. It generates negative ions which have a positive effect on blood circulation. Best of all, it’s resistant to pests, bacteria and fungi – the causes of most allergies.
Bamboo fabric is a natural textile made from the pulp of the bamboo grass. Bamboo fabric has been growing in popularity because it has many unique properties and is more sustainable than most textile fibers. Bamboo fabric is light and strong, has excellent wicking properties, and is to some extent antibacterial.
Bamboo fiber is naturally smooth and round without chemical treatment, meaning that there are no sharp spurs to irritate the skin. In textile form, bamboo retains many of the properties it has as a plant. Bamboo is highly water absorbent, able to take up three times its weight in water. In bamboo fabric, this translates to an excellent wicking ability that will pull moisture away from the skin so that it can evaporate. For this reason, clothing made of bamboo fiber is often worn next to the skin.
Bamboo also has many antibacterial qualities, which bamboo fabric is apparently able to retain, even through multiple washings. This helps to reduce bacteria that thrive on clothing and cause unpleasant odors. It can also kill odor causing bacteria that live on human skin, making the wearer and his or her clothing smell sweeter. In addition, bamboo fabric has insulating properties and will keep the wearer cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
