Product Review | Pure Fiber Bamboo Sheets

***Update 11/28/11: So it’s been a few months now of constant use. The bamboo sheets have started pilling 🙁 So due to the pilling as well as the tendency to tear I have to say I’m not that happy with the sheets. I would not choose them again. I still love my bamboo towels though!***

As you all know I’m all about a good deal 😉 But what most of you might not know about me is that I’m all about being green as well. Ever since Arden was born, I’ve been slowly making our home as green as possible. We eat mostly organic, we use eco-friendly household cleaners, we use glassware instead of plasticware. Even Arden’s nursery is filled with organic and all-natural fabrics and materials. I’ve tried my share of organic cotton sheets and towels and even clothing, but I have to admit my number one favorite earth-friendly fabric is bamboo. I’ve finally converted all of our towels to bamboo (once our old ones have worn out). And I can’t tell you how super soft and fluffy, yet lightweight (and fast drying) bamboo towels are.

So when Pure Fiber offered to send me a set of their 100% Bamboo sheets
to try I was very excited. I have to admit I wasn’t disappointed! Pure Fiber‘s bamboo sheets are the softest sheets I have ever owned. Cotton doesn’t even come close, no matter what the threat-count. And not only is bamboo silky-soft, it’s also very breathable and helps to regulate your temperature whether it’s hot or cold, resulting in an even better nights sleep. The Mr. and I have been using these sheets for about two months now and I swear they get even softer with each wash. 

Pure Fiber Viscose Derived from Bamboo Sheet Set, Cal King, Pure White

The only negative thing I can say is that one of the pillowcases in my set ripped a tiny bit along one of the seams. Is it a deal breaker in my eyes? Nope, not at all. I still think these sheets are a super value – Amazon sells a Cal King sized set for under $100. In that price range (or any price-range for that matter) you’re not going to find cotton sheets as soft as this. Seriously.

And the funny thing? I looked at all my bamboo towels and it turns out they’re Pure Fiber as well! I have these for my and Mr. and a bunch of these for Arden and we all love them. The hooded baby towels especially; they are super-soft which is perfect for delicate baby skin.

You guys have to give bamboo a try. It’s so much more affordable than dropping down all of those dollars on super-high thread count sheets or extra thick Egyptian cotton towels, believe me.
