Asian countries have long made use of bamboo trees for many purposes, including the production of bamboo sheets, as the Western world slowly catches up on the idea. The latest bedding accessory that’s rising in popularity today, inspite its very pricey tag, come from bamboo and you may wonder why people are raving about it.

• Bamboo sheets are soft and silk-like, without the slippy surface.
• Bamboo sheets are anti-bacterial and carry hypoallergenic qualities, unlike cotton sheets which are produced with pesticides.
• Bamboo sheets are durable and adaptable to weather changes, thereby saving you from buying different kinds of beddings.

It smells unpleasantly. Memory foams are said to emit an odor that last for weeks, making new owners feel uncomfortable. Open your room’s windows once in a while, to let the memory foam breath and it will help the odor go away quickly.

Not as firm as one imagines. Some owners feel that the memory foam mattress they have tried in the stores are much more softer. Why is that so? Those mattress on display are actually already broken in. Several others have tried it. As for your new memory foam, in time, it will feel less firm.

The Kymdan mattress is made of 100% latex materials and is designed with big square holes on its surface. Its purpose is to provide proper ventilation and support particularly for bed ridden individuals who might be susceptible to skin ulceration. While it may look uncomfortable and uneven because of the holes in it, the mattress has very good back support and can stand weight and pressure. Covering the mattress with cotton sheets makes it ultra-comfortable and best to sleep on.

Royal Caribbean, the world renowned cruise ship, has recently embarked on a bedding project that involved a complete bed make-over. Bed frames and mattresses were replaced, to prevent sagging and continue to keep guests relaxed and comfortable.The cruise ship now offers nine-inch thick mattress with 220 thread count cotton sheets and micro fiber pillow tops. Twin bed frames may either remain separated or pushed together to form one queen size frame, and custom designed mattress toppers create a gap-free bedding solution.

This bedding project took effect May 2007, while a few more ships are under construction.
