Split Peach vs Polyester: What You’re Really Sleeping On

Not all waterproof blankets are created equal.

In fact, many of the so-called “best-sellers” on the market are made from cheap polyester fleece or flannel — the kind that feels soft at first, but quickly turns hot, sweaty, smelly, or even leaky.

At Split Peach, we made a different choice: bamboo. Here’s how our premium waterproof blanket stacks up against mass-produced polyester and why it matters for your body, your comfort, and the planet.

1. Breathability & Heat Regulation

 Polyester & Flannel:

• Traps heat

• Creates a sweaty, sticky feel

• Uncomfortable in warm weather or during hormonal shifts

• Can lead to rashes, overheating, or irritation

 Split Peach Bamboo:

• Naturally breathable — keeps you cool, even during sleep or intimacy

• Wicks away moisture instead of trapping it

• Soft, dry feel that stays comfortable all night

• Perfect for periods, postpartum, and sensual moments

Why it matters: Whether you’re using it for intimacy, sleep, or baby care — comfort = everything.

2. Waterproof Performance

 Polyester Fleece Blankets:

• Often labeled “water-resistant” but leak under pressure

• Edges may allow seepage

• Absorbency is surface-level

• Stains can set in quickly

 Split Peach Bamboo Blanket:

• Engineered with a hidden, breathable waterproof membrane

• Fully protects your sheets and mattress from edge to edge

• Absorbs fast — even full spills, body fluids, or pet accidents

• Washes clean without smell or residue

Why it matters: If it leaks once, it’s not worth the stress. Split Peach doesn’t leak.

3. Odour Control

 Fleece & Velvet Competitors:

• Trap smells easily (especially intimacy fluids, pet mess, and sweat)

• Can smell stale even after washing

• Create a breeding ground for bacteria

 Split Peach Bamboo:

• Naturally antibacterial and odour-resistant

• Feels fresh after every wash

• Long-term use without buildup of smell or bacteria

Why it matters: Your blanket should feel fresh and clean — not like a dog towel or an old gym sock.

4. Feel on Skin

 Fleece/Poly Blankets

• Thick and fuzzy = warm at first, hot and heavy later

• Some feel plastic or crunchy after multiple washes

• Can irritate sensitive or intimate skin

 Split Peach Bamboo:

• Smooth, silky texture that feels like luxury bedding

• Gentle on even the most delicate skin

• Thin, sleek, and folds down easily

• Doesn’t change feel after washing

Why it matters: This is the blanket touching your bare skin. You want something that feels soft, not synthetic.

5. Sustainability & Ethics

 Mass-Market Blankets:

• Made from petroleum-based polyester

• Often mass-produced in factories with poor environmental oversight

• Not biodegradable — ends up in landfill

 Split Peach:

• 80% Bamboo fibre = renewable, eco-conscious, and low-waste

• Small-batch manufacturing

• Built to last — not to be replaced every few months

Why it matters: If you’re choosing better for your body, it should also be better for the planet.
