Softer than Egyptian cotton

When describing the comfort factor and the softness of a bed sheet, the fineness of the bamboo Rayon matters.

Most often because it dictates the all-important thread count of the bedding. The higher a count, the softer and more comfortable the sheet is likely to be.

​Unlike Egyptian cotton, however, you won’t be breaking the bank for an 2100 thread count Egyptian comfort sheet.

What’s more, Bamboo Rayon is well known for having a smooth, almost silk-like softness to it, making it a much lighter fabric.

Stronger than cotton

Bamboo is well known for being significantly stronger than other kinds of cotton, durable, and even longer-lasting.

One of the major reasons is the actual thickness of the fibers in the Rayon from Bamboo

Bamboo is made of fibers no larger than 1 denier, whereas cotton usually has a thickness of about 1.5 denier.

This might seem like a small difference, but it results in much tighter weave for Bamboo. While still being breathable.

​Since individual fabrics aren’t very strong, the tighter that weave, the stronger the fabric.

So, Bamboo tends to be a lot more resilient fabric, meaning it’s a lot less likely to suffer pilling or tearing even after years of washing and use.

​This also means that Bamboo lasts a lot longer than cotton, so you won’t have to replace them as often.
