Healthy Sleep

A distinctive feature of bamboo material is its moisture-regulating and comfortable properties. This ensures that little ones have a good night's sleep with a soft duvet, without too cold or too warm nights. For cold nights, consider this duvet, and for warm nights, consider this one. Additionally, this also ensures that unpleasant odors are expelled. This means you wake up fresh after a long night. This is, of course, very nice and convenient because the bedding doesn't need to be washed every week and lasts longer. Furthermore, sleeping with a Boomba Bamboo duvet is very healthy. It is free of harmful substances and dust mites, making it environmentally friendly and perfect for people with allergies. But how can you refresh the duvet? Simply shaking the duvet weekly and hanging it out in the fresh outdoor air is usually sufficient.

A Sustainable Wash is Enough

But what if the duvet does need a wash? How do you go about it? To prevent unwanted results, we recommend either hand washing the duvet or taking it to the dry cleaner. Want to tackle the job yourself? Then do it as follows: a short and sustainable wash is more than enough. Bamboo is naturally an antibacterial fabric, meaning not many bacteria nest in the bedding. It is, therefore, unnecessary to wash the duvet hotter than 30 degrees. We recommend air-drying it. If you choose to put the duvet in the dryer, use dryer balls. This ensures a nice fluffy duvet.

Washing: Small Loads, Large Loads

A duvet in the washing machine takes up a lot of space. An 8 kg washing machine can only accommodate a duvet for a double bed. However, a winter duvet is thicker than a summer duvet. Therefore, it is advisable to buy a larger washing machine. Is your duvet too big for your washing machine? You can also wash it in a bathtub, which is also better for the Bamboo duvet. After washing, we recommend using a duvet cover or storage bag. These have breathable material. This keeps the duvet fresher for longer than if you store it loosely in the closet or in another bag.

Detergent: Powder or Liquid?

When you choose to wash the duvet, certain detergents also come into play. Which ones are suitable, and which ones should you avoid? And should it be liquid or in powder form? Bamboo bedding needs a liquid and mild detergent. No detergent in powder form. It is also essential that the detergent does not contain optical brighteners, enzymes, oxygen bleach, or bleach. Washing the duvet inside out ensures that the ultimate Boomba Bamboo duvet still absorbs 60% moisture. It is also unnecessary to use fabric softener. This can ultimately disrupt moisture and heat regulation. And in the end, when the mishap is almost solved, it's important to let the duvet air dry. And ta-da... a washed duvet that doesn't need to be washed for a while.

When to Switch Duvets?

When you switch your duvet is and remains your choice. Most people choose to switch the duvet in October. We enter the winter period in that month, making it nice to go into the nights warmly. Around April, most people choose to swap their winter duvet for a summer duvet. Want to know more about changing duvets? Read our article about Time for the Big Duvet Swap.
