Why Bamboo Is Better for Your Skin, Your Sheets & the Planet

There’s a reason we chose bamboo as the hero fibre behind the Split Peach Waterproof Blanket — and it’s not just because it feels amazing.

Bamboo is one of the most powerful, planet-friendly, and body-loving materials you can sleep on. If you’ve ever used polyester, flannel, or synthetic fleece blankets and noticed irritation, odour, or heat — this post is for you.

Let’s explore why bamboo is better. For you. For your bed. And for Earth.

 1. Better for Your Skin: Naturally Hypoallergenic

Your skin is your largest organ — and what you sleep on matters.

Polyester and synthetic fibres trap heat, bacteria, and moisture. That combination can lead to:

• Body odour

• Rashes or breakouts

• Intimate discomfort

• Heat rash or sweating at night

Bamboo, by contrast, is:

• Naturally hypoallergenic

• Breathable and moisture-wicking

• Antibacterial and antimicrobial

• Silky soft — even on delicate areas

It’s ideal for:

• Intimacy

• Period nights

• Postpartum recovery

• Sensitive skin

• Babies or elderly care

 2. Better for Your Sheets & Bedding

When synthetic blankets leak or sweat, your sheets suffer:

• Mattress stains

• Unwanted smells

• Frequent washing

• Ruined pillowcases and bedding layers

The Split Peach Bamboo Waterproof Blanket acts as a breathable barrier — soft on top, waterproof within.

Because it’s ultra-absorbent yet quick to dry, it:

• Protects your mattress from ALL types of fluid

• Doesn’t trap heat or cause sweating

• Won’t ruin your luxury linen or cotton sheets underneath

It’s basically skincare for your bed.

 3. Better for the Planet: Truly Sustainable

Most waterproof blankets on the market are made from fluffy fleece (polyester), velvet, or microfiber — all forms of plastic. And they don’t biodegrade.

The world doesn’t need more microplastics in our oceans or landfills.

Bamboo, on the other hand:

• Grows fast — up to 1 metre per day

• Requires no pesticides or chemical treatments

• Uses far less water than cotton

• Is fully biodegradable and renewable

At Split Peach, we combine bamboo with small-batch production and minimal waste packaging — because eco-luxury should be the default, not the exception.

 4. Better for Your Everyday Life

Our bamboo waterproof blanket is designed for actual human life — not just aesthetic Instagram pics.

It handles:

• Sweat and body fluids

• Period blood

• Baby mess

• Pet accidents

• Wine spills

• Emotional nights

• Passionate mornings

And it does it all while feeling soft, sleek, and elegant.

No fuzz. No odour. No shame. Just comfort.

 Summary: Why Bamboo Wins

The Split Peach Blanket isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a total shift in how you protect your body, your bed, and your peace of mind.
