7 Health Benefits of Bamboo Mattresses and Toppers

This is a Guest Post:  We appreciate guest authors.  However, the viewpoints expressed in this blog post may, or may not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of Living Natural Today.

There has been a lot of talk about bamboo as a material for mattresses and mattress toppers, and they’ve become a popular ingredient in many sleep-related products. Made from finely processed bamboo fibers, these mattresses and toppers are known for the benefits they can provide to one’s wellbeing. Here are 7 health benefits of bamboo mattresses and toppers.

Bamboo Mattresses Are Hypoallergenic

Bamboo fiber products are known for being hypoallergenic. This is because they have antibacterial and anti-microbial properties that prevents bad bacteria and fungus from taking root on them. They are also made to be free from any potential allergens, irritants, or particles that can cause harm when exposed to skin for too long or when ingested accidentally during sleep.

In addition, bamboo mattresses and toppers are typically resistant to dust mites and other problematic infestations that could cause an unpleasant sleeping experience. All in all, this makes these products a good choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin.

Temperature Regulation

There are few things more annoyingly disruptive during sleep than sleeping hot and sweating. A bamboo mattress is a combination of memory foam and bamboo fibers, and as we know, memory foam mattresses are notorious for sleeping too warm without proper cooling technologies and features.

Bamboo is a very porous material to use in its fabric form, and it allows for proper air circulation, flow, and breathability that can help keep you cool while you sleep, so you can enjoy the memory foam feeling without the heat that tends to come with it.

Moisture Absorption

Linking back to temperature regulation, bamboo also has properties that allow it to wick away moisture and prevent sweat from pooling. If any moisture gets to the mattress that could disturb your sleep, bamboo mattresses and toppers simply absorb the moisture and then allow it to evaporate properly through its pores, keeping you dry even if it’s a hot summer’s night.

Another added bonus with a characteristic like this is that bamboo products won’t awkwardly stick to the skin due to sweat or other liquids, so you won’t be disturbed by that uncomfortable feeling when trying to rest.

Free from Harmful Chemicals

Most mattresses and toppers contain harmful chemicals that may have been used during the manufacturing process. These toxins can range from things like fire retardants to adhesives and from dyes to formaldehyde, and all of them have a chance of causing severe health problems.

While the risk isn’t exceptionally high, the peace of mind that comes with using a product made without any harmful materials or chemicals can be more than worth it. Besides, a risk on your life and health is not a risk worth taking by any account.

Spinal Support

Bamboo mattresses are made with a combination of bamboo fibers and memory foam, and this alliance works wonders for spinal support. Lying on a bamboo mattress ensures that your spine is well aligned, offering the proper support needed for you to be free from aches and pains in pressure point areas like the shoulders, back, and neck. This ensures a pain-free sleep and a more energized feeling when you wake up the next day, and it also means that this type of mattress is great for those who experience pressure point pain, especially in the aforementioned areas.

A Natural Smell

Some fussier sleepers may have difficulty falling asleep if their mattress or mattress topper has a strong scent. Unpleasant smells can also cause irritation and are usually a result of harmful off gassing emissions. Even if your mattress doesn’t smell bad, you may feel inclined to use a deodorizer for an extra fresh scent, but these deodorizers are made with harmful chemicals that can have adverse effects on your health.

Bamboo mattresses and toppers have a natural scent and bamboo is arguably one of the most pleasant-smelling materials that can be used in a mattress, eliminating the need for other scented products.

Comfort

We hear you ask, how exactly is comfort a health benefit? A comfortable mattress and topper means a sound and deep sleep, which allows you to wake up feeling more refreshed in the morning. Without enough sleep, you’ll be running low on energy, focus, and strength, and you may even fall sick more easily.

Bamboo fiber mattresses and toppers are lightweight yet soft and comfortable and can provide you with the relaxation you need for a good night’s sleep. They are flexible, supportive, and light on the body for maximum comfort.

In Conclusion…

The health benefits of bamboo mattresses and toppers make purchasing one a great option for many shoppers. If you’re in the market for a new mattress or even new mattress toppers, check out Sleepedia and their reviews for a little extra help with making a choice!
