Is a bamboo mattress protector worth it?

Bamboo mattress protectors offer long-lasting protection against dust mites that can result in skin irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. Bamboo mattress pads are lightly cushioned to make your mattress more comfortable and breathable. Ultra-soft and comfortable for everyone, bamboo mattress covers are eco-friendly and easy to take care of (you don’t even need to have them dry cleaned!) We also offer bamboo pillow protectors, crib mattress protectors and duvet covers to help protect all of your favorite bedding while keeping you comfortable at night.

Is a bamboo mattress protector cooling?

Yes! Bamboo mattress protectors are deliciously cooling. Bamboo is an incredibly breathable fabric similar to cotton to prevent you from getting hot while you sleep. Bamboo is a temperature-regulating fabric that can help keep you cool at night when it’s hot and warm in the winter when it’s cold. Bamboo is typically more cooling than cotton, letting your body heat escape through the breathable fabric weave. Bamboo also wicks away moisture, so hot sleepers won’t wake up in the middle of the night sweating. Bamboo pajamas, loungewear and bedding can help you stay cool no matter the temperature to provide you with sustainable comfort all night long.

How do you clean a bamboo mattress protector?

Your bamboo mattress protector doesn’t have to be washed as often as your sheets because it doesn’t directly touch your body. It’s best to wash your mattress pad around every two months to prevent dust, oil and bacteria build-up. Washing every two months will allow your mattress protector to do its job and protect your mattress. Don’t worry about dry cleaning—ettitude’s bamboo mattress covers are machine-washable with cold water on the gentle cycle.

Can you put a bamboo mattress protector in the dryer?

Our bamboo mattress protectors can be put in the dryer on low heat. However, you can also dry your mattress pad on a line in the sun (it’s more eco-friendly that way too). When drying your bamboo mattress pad in the dryer, never use dryer balls as they can cause pilling. While ettitude bamboo fabrics are machine-washable and can be put in the dryer, not all bamboo fabrics have such easy-breezy care. If you’re unsure how to care for your mattress cover, check the care instructions on the label for more information.
