We've spent years obsessing over what happens when you sleep hot. But here's something our customers have been telling us for just as long: not every night is a 3 a.m. sweat session. Sometimes you just want to feel wrapped in something impossibly soft, on a slow morning, a lazy evening, a warm afternoon when the most strenuous thing on your agenda is deciding whether to make tea. That's what BambooSoft is for.
Say hello to BambooSoft, our new collection made from viscose from bamboo: a soft, breathable, eco-conscious fabric for everyday comfort. It joins our family alongside NightCool, our moisture-wicking performance line for hot sleepers and night sweats, and DayBasics, our easy everyday basics. Think of BambooSoft as the gentlest, most luxurious-feeling member of the lineup, the one you reach for when comfort and a lighter footprint are what you're after.
What Is BambooSoft, Exactly?
BambooSoft is made from viscose from bamboo, sometimes labeled rayon from bamboo. We want to be upfront about that name, because honesty is kind of our thing. Bamboo starts as a fast-growing, renewable plant, and through a manufacturing process its cellulose is transformed into a beautifully soft, silky, breathable fiber. The result drapes like a dream, feels buttery against the skin, and has a natural, understated elegance.
You may see other brands label similar fabric as simply "bamboo." We don't, because the more accurate term is viscose from bamboo, and we'd rather tell you exactly what you're getting. That transparency matters to us, and we think it matters to you too.
Why You'll Love It
- Remarkably soft. This is the headline. BambooSoft has a silky, fluid hand-feel that many people describe as buttery. It's the kind of soft you notice the second you put it on.
- Breathable and light. The fabric is airy and breathable, which makes it lovely for lounging and warm-weather wear.
- Gentle on skin. Its smooth fibers feel soft and non-irritating, a nice choice if your skin appreciates a little extra gentleness.
- Eco-conscious. Bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable resource, and BambooSoft is part of how we're thinking more thoughtfully about materials.
- Beautiful drape. It hangs and moves gorgeously, so it looks as relaxed and put-together as it feels.
When BambooSoft Is the Right Pick (and When NightCool Is)
Here's where we stay honest, because choosing the right fabric for the right moment is the whole point. BambooSoft is a comfort fabric, made for softness, breathability, lounging, slow mornings, warm afternoons, and everyday wear. It is not engineered as a night-sweats solution.
If your nights are defined by hot flashes, drenching sweats, or serious overheating, NightCool is still your best friend. NightCool is our performance line, engineered with proprietary moisture-wicking fabric that pulls sweat off your skin and dries quickly to help regulate your temperature through the night. BambooSoft is about everyday softness and comfort; NightCool is about managing the sweatiest nights. Many people happily own both, and we love that for you.
We'll always tell you which of our own fabrics fits your needs, even when that means pointing you to a different collection than the one you landed on. That's a promise.
How to Keep BambooSoft Beautiful
Viscose from bamboo is luxuriously soft, and like most soft, fine fabrics it rewards a little gentle care. Wash cold on a gentle cycle, use a mild detergent, skip the bleach and fabric softener, and either hang to dry or tumble on low. A little care keeps the fabric soft, smooth, and lasting longer. We have a full care guide coming that walks through everything step by step.
