Often, people ask, "what is with this kind of 'cool in summer, warm in winter' things? They say that they have not seen the bridges for sale recently, and snake oil sellers have not been around the sale of long snake oil. And I'm supposed to believe my bamboo bedding is supposed to actually do this?
Well, when it comes down to science, it seems that the magic words are "capillary action", or "bit". The Dictionary says that capillary action is "the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the aid of and against external forces like gravity". It occurs when the surface tension between a liquid and a solid attract each other.
In plain language, this is the reason why you use a towel to dry.
Still not sure? If your body is sweating, the layer of moisture on the skin prevents air from cooling it. Wicks moisture away and you'll be more fresh. Here's a simple experiment in winter. Let your home really dry and see how it is difficult to keep warm, even with the heater running. Now, run a humidifier and you will see the pretty good warm-up room, and even with the heat reduced!
Or, try this. Take your roast beast out of the oven with a medium pot wet-OW! This is because the heat immediately goes in the water. And it's the same principle with your skin. Keep the water away and you'll be cooler in the summer.
But his time of winter and I'm supposed to want to my moisture on the skin to stay strong, right? Uh, actually, not. Your skin really wants an air barrier between himself and moisture. All skiers and outdoor type will tell you the best dress in the cold is to wear diapers. Wind will keep you warm. Let moisture and the layers are not good. If you want something your skin that will move moisture away from you... Hey, fabric viscose from bamboo! Under a microscope, you will see that the fiber is smaller than the cotton and also is linked more closely which are two of the characteristics of a good soaking agent by capillary action.
I hear you say, "but cotton does the same thing." No, not nearly as well. Bamboo evacuates 3 - 4 times the moisture as cotton. Wool is a good absorbing too much, but there are many people who are allergic to lanolin wool. And this stuff is really scratchy! The bamboo is sweet, sweet baby. Well, what would you say fleece? Polar is a catch-all Word for equipment that is very soft, because it is a small section, but it was really terrible wicking properties.
Another very nice feature that comes with this capacity of viscose from bamboo, it is that your body will not feel if poorly since moisture remain on you, moisture drain away and has the ability to dry more quickly. Athlete's foot is reduced since the fungus does not grow wetlands. Bottom of the baby will be like that too, for obvious reasons!
When it comes to bedding, I cry like a little girl when I crawl into my bamboo sheets now in winter, and I'm hot very quickly on these nights of frost sub. This summer my bamboo bedding was actually me kept sweating so much.
And that, my friends, is a beautiful thing!
