Advantages of bamboo material
First, let's highlight the main advantages of bamboo fiber. Should I buy this product? Do you need problems when caring for him?
But what advantages are inherent not only in pillows, but in all products made of bamboo.
- hypoallergenic;
- durability;
- elasticity;
- naturalness;
- nice smell;
- breathable (porous) structure;
- safety for the body;
- universality of use;
- hygroscopicity (moisture is absorbed).
It is pleasant to relax under a bamboo blanket on both hot summer nights and cold winter evenings. The body does not sweat, breathes, warms. Due to the unique properties of the plant, bamboo, bedbugs and other bed pests will not start. This means that the plant is a good antiseptic (an additional plus in the piggy bank).
The results of surveys conducted by volunteers in the capital of our country show that housewives prefer proven fillers for pillows. Pooh, feather, holofiber and its derivatives are the three leaders. But the use of bamboo fiber is gaining momentum. Although such pillows are not the leaders of the polls, young families began to switch more to natural fillers.
Save or not: which is more profitable?
Bamboo fiber is more expensive than analogs. But the question is very conditional. Health savings are unlikely to succeed. Therefore, it is worth considering the purchase of a good pillow filled with bamboo textiles.
It is interesting! The bamboo industry is a very profitable business. The growth rate of the stems of each plant is almost 20 meters per month. This fact plays into the hands of both the production and the buyer. No need to use chemical additives manufacturer, spending additional funds. For the buyer, this is a guarantee of health and environmental friendliness.
Speaking of production. The filler for bedding is made from the core of the plant. The soft substance is subjected to a special treatment (of which the manufacturer, of course, is silent). The output is a raw material, which later takes the form of a known filler, for the care of which special requirements are made, in particular, the cleaning process in the washing machine, as well as how to choose detergent.
Bamboo care: wash correctly
Wash pillows in two ways:
- in the washing machine;
- hand wash in the pelvis.
There is a third option - it is a wash in a hand washing machine. But these wonderful technical devices have long been sunk into oblivion. Such hardly anyone uses.
Not every filler, after machine wash, will feel "wonderful." For example, fluff / feather absolutely can not be subjected to "wet" cleaning. But such synthetic materials as comfort, sintepon and holofiber feel great in a wet environment.
Contrary to popular belief, bamboo pillows can (and should) be subjected to "wet cleaning." But here it is important to know all the nuances of caring for the product, to correctly select the detergent, not to confuse the mode on the washing machine.
