Price Points: Bamboo bedding sets

Bamboo bedding sets

There’s nothing quite like the simple luxury of freshly laundered, box-fresh bedding. It’s an instant mood booster and the perfect way to end the day. For years, we’ve appreciated the qualities of our favourite bedding materials: the renowned softness of Egyptian cotton, the natural breathability of linen and the cosy warmth of flannelette.

However, as we become more environmentally conscious, we’ve been looking at alternative fabrics that are kinder to the planet. This led us to discover bamboo, a material that has really impressed us. Compared to conventional cotton and synthetic fabrics, bamboo offers significant eco-advantages. Its rapid growth, reduced need for pesticides and water, and biodegradable nature make it a far more sustainable choice. For our bedroom, we’ve opted for a calming grey colour scheme, and we were delighted to find that bamboo bedding is available in this versatile shade.

To give you some inspiration, we’ve researched and found three excellent bamboo bedding sets in grey that we think offer both comfort and eco-credentials.

  1. Bamboo bedding set: £79.00, kudd.ly

    Why would anyone settle for ordinary bed sheets when they could have the extraordinary restorative benefits of bamboo? Our bed sheets can heal and maintain skin and respiratory health. They’re perfect for hot sleepers and anyone with allergies. If you want a durable, renewable alternative to traditional bedding, you’ve found it!
    Our sheet set is crafted with 300 thread count bamboo, one of the most renewable plant resources on the planet! Bamboo forests can grow faster than any other type of tree and they are one of the biggest consumers of atmospheric CO2.
    So you can rest easy in your cosy bed knowing you’re making a good choice for the planet!

Price Points: V-shaped pillowcases

V-shaped pillowcases

Last week we featured a trio of V-shaped pillows, it’s obvious that we should follow up with a range of V-shaped pillowcases.

I purchased a pillow, as I said I would, and I’m fairly happy with it; I eventually opted for one from Slumberdown. Unfortunately, it could have done with having more filling and being a bit firmer for my preference. I’ll give this one to Justin, and get myself another one.

Anyhow, back to the V-shaped pillowcases… The one that I bought included two bright white pillowcases, which is very useful – I can use them as ‘under-pillowcases’. However, they don’t match the bedding; I want something in cream or very pale yellow.

I just may treat myself to a 100% silk pillowcase when I buy a firmer pillow. The material is noted as being very kind to skin and hair and temperature controlling – all making for a quality night’s sleep!

  1. Autumn Nights V-shaped pillowcase: £4.95, Amazon
  2. Percale V-shaped pillowcase: £6.38, Wayfair
  3. 25 momme 100% silk V-shaped pillowcase: £30.05, Etsy

V-shaped pillows

We overnighted at Justin’s sister’s this week as he had a dentist appointment back in Yorkshire. Sleeping in a strange bed can make for a terrible night’s sleep, but that wasn’t the case. And it was all thanks to a V-shaped pillow.

When we’ve stayed-over previously, I’ve used the V-shaped pillow only to sit up in bed to read or work on the laptop. On this occasion, it was laziness and tiredness that led to this sleep revelation. I couldn’t be bothered to reach over and swap the V-shaped one for the regular, rectangular one. I reclined and realised how comfortable it was for sleeping. I’m a side-sleeper and like a very firm, supportive pillow. My arms, neck and head just fitted around it perfectly.

Since returning home, I’ve been scouring the internet looking for V-shaped pillows. All three that I’ve featured have had excellent reviews. The Fogarty example even had a write-up in the Sun newspaper last year, it’s considered that good.

I like the idea of the grey terry fabric of the M&S one; but as I’ll be using it to sleep every night, I’d want to put it in a pillowcase. The texture added to the awkward shape would make putting on and taking off a pillowcase a bit of a workout!

Have you ever slept or do you sleep on a V-shaped pillow? What do you think of it?

  1. Fogarty V-shaped orthopaedic firm-support pillow: £12.00, Dunelm
  2. Teddy fleece medium V-shaped pillow: £19.50, Marks & Spencer

Sadly, I missed the hugely successful Irregular Sleep Pattern Kickstarter campaign by a couple of days (it ended on the 15th of this month). Someone I follow posted a pic on Insta of a pair of their colourful graphic patterned pyjamas; I fell in love immediately!

Irregular Sleep Pattern was founded in Glasgow by creative couple, Mil and Jolene. The patterns were designed by Mil, solo and sometimes in collaboration with other artists. The 100% cotton fabric used is organic, ethical and produced in Portugal.

Their gender-neutral pyjamas and reversible duvet sets are modelled by Mil, Jolene, their 4 daughters, Truman (the wire-haired Dachshund) and other friends & family.
