These useful properties give the blanket a bamboo fiber.
Bamboo fiber is obtained when processing young stems of bamboo. Such tinyuskie (thinner than a human hair) bamboo strings, which are attached to each other with resin, remaining on the fiber after processing.

You can not think of a better one. Direct magic properties. Let's see if all bamboo fillers are the same, or there are some varieties of them. Yes. Fillers are different:
- mixture of bamboo and cotton;
- mixture of bamboo and viscose;
- mixture of bamboo and silk;
- mixture of bamboo and polyester fiber.
You can choose any. Each of these fillers retains its properties. Cotton makes the product more gentle and cooling, silk - more hygroscopic, viscose - warmer. Polyester fiber adds lightness and reduces the cost of the product. So, you decided to buy a blanket of bamboo, how to choose exactly what you need?
- determine the size of the blanket;
- Determine the thickness of the blanket.
It is best to determine the size of the blanket based on the size of your bed. The blanket should be "large" in your bed about 25 cm from each side. Then you will completely be able to hide, wrap yourself in it. The blanket will not slip through the night. And if you sleep together, then you will not pull the blanket each to yourself.
If you expect to use a blanket in the warm season, or if you always have warmth in the apartment, then it is best for you to purchase a lightweight bamboo blanket, or as it is also called a summer bamboo blanket. Choose the composition of the filler and the top cover of the blanket without admixture of artificial fiber. Such a blanket will help you feel much more comfortable than under the sheet. A bamboo summer blanket is great for children who sweat often in a dream, and are prone to colds.
A lightweight bamboo blanket will create a cooling effect for you if the fabric also consists of 100% cotton, or cotton with a bamboo mixture.
The bamboo blanket of the summer is usually washed much more often than the winter one. So notice how the quilt is quilted. If it is quilted by rhombuses, it will more reliably hold the filler, and will not allow it to shift during washing. Less preferred blankets, quilted patterned lines.
We care properly
Care for a bamboo blanket is very simple. Do not store the blanket in an airtight package and in dampness. There are several rules on how to wash a bamboo blanket. Wash in warm water (not above 40 degrees), preferably with liquid detergents. Very carefully rinse the blanket so that the bamboo fibers do not stick together when dried in lumps.
If you want not to get sick, to see only good dreams - a bamboo blanket will be your assistant on the way to the goal. A fairly large selection of bamboo blankets will allow you to make a quality purchase at a minimum cost.
