Wait! What? Activated Bamboo Charcoal Bedding?

It may conjure up fantastical visions of Mary Poppins singing on the rooftops with her chimney-sweeping friends, but “activated bamboo charcoal” is a real thing! For those who love our Aruba Bamboo-Blend sheeting, we have made a new technical sheeting line with the extra added benefits of bamboo charcoal.

Our luxury sheeting lineup includes sheets sets and the Theo Collection by Home Republic – that are featured in this new fabric technology.

The fabric – bamboo rayon blended with charcoal – is made from sustainably grown bamboo, heated to 800°C to become bamboo charcoal, and processed into ultra-fine nano particles, which are embedded into yarn and woven into fabric. The result is a silky soft, extremely durable fabric with excellent anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and temperature regulating properties.
