Bamboo Dreams Queen Comforter Cover - Chocolate Color January 24, 2008

Filed under: Bedding — @ 8:48 pm

Chocolate Lovers Unite. Cover your Queen bed with 100 percent bamboo dyed to a dark brown color. Bamboo delivers what may be your most comfortable night’s sleep yet and is the newest innovation in textiles. The bamboo natural fiber is silky soft and smooth, highly absorbent and has excellent ventilation qualities to keep you cool when you’re warm, and warm when you’re cold. It’s exceptionally strong for long wear as well and it is naturally easy care when you remove it from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Bamboo is also naturally anti-bacterial, stays fresher between each wash, environmentally requiring less labor and chemicals. (The rare type of bamboo that pandas’ eat is not used in textile production.)

  • DreamSacks bamboo bedding items are packaged in environmentally friendly bamboo fiber bags.
  • Bamboo Comforter Cover is designed with a hidden zipper and inner ties
  • Machine wash, cool water, gentle cycle, mild soap. Air or machine dry on low, cool setting. Remove promptly from dryer.
  • Note: Bamboo cannot be bleached with chlorine and Bamboo cannot be washed with fabric softener (including detergents with fabric softener) nor can it be dried with fabric softener dryer sheets. (The chemicals in chlorine bleach and all types of fabric softeners will destroy the fabric even faster than it does cotton fabrics.)

100 percent Bamboo Queen Comforter Covers - a perfect complement to your Bamboo Fiber Sheet Sets. Featuring Hidden Zipper and Interior Ties, the Bamboo Comforter Cover comes in 6 attractive colors - Almond, White, Green Tea, Chocolate, Rain and Natural White. Dream in the cozy softness of bamboo! In addition to having a luscious feel, bamboo is hypoallergenic and allows your skin to breath, making you comfortable all night long. Bamboo is sustainable, enviromentally friendly, and easy to care for. We think bamboo is the miracle plant!

Eco Chic: Organic Living

Living an eco-friendly lifestyle has become chic. Not so long ago, environmental awareness was left almost exclusively to the experts or the eccentrics. However, now a more environmental friendly approach to life is something more and more people aspire to. As the harmful effects of consumerism and mass-production become increasingly apparent, many of us are becoming aware of the bonuses of living in tune with nature rather than against it. No longer the domain of the ‘brown rice and sandals’ brigade, eco-consciousness means knowing that you don’t have to sacrifice taste or style to look after your body and the environment. Eco Chic is an essential and stylish guide to following this new eco-consciousness, looking at the organic movement in four key areas: food and drink, interiors and design, health and beauty and fashion.
