- Bamboo, a fast-growing grass, has been used for centuries for its versatile properties. It is known for its strength, durability, and ability to absorb moisture. In recent times, bamboo has been used to create a variety of products, including clothing, home decor, and now, bed linens. Bamboo sheets are made from the pulp of bamboo plants, which are harvested and processed to produce soft and durable fabric.

Bed Sheet: A bed sheet is the foundation of your bedding ensemble. This is the fabric layer that lies directly on your mattress, coming in close contact with your skin.
