What is bamboo bedding?

Bamboo bedding is made from the viscose derived from bamboo plants. It's known for being luxuriously soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating.

What are the benefits of bamboo bedding?

Bamboo bedding offers several benefits, including:

  • Softness and comfort
  • Breathability and temperature regulation
  • Moisture-wicking properties
  • Hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin
  • Eco-friendly and sustainable material
Is bamboo bedding safe?

Yes, at Alma, we use bamboo viscose certified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, ensuring it's free of harmful substances.

How do I care for my bamboo bedding?

Caring for your bamboo sheets is easy! Follow the care instructions provided with your purchase. Generally, they can be machine washed and dried on low heat. Please refer to the wash & care instructions.

Is bamboo bedding truly eco-friendly?

While bamboo is a renewable resource, the processing of bamboo viscose can have environmental impacts. At Alma, we prioritize responsible practices and use eco-friendly processes whenever possible.

What is Alma doing to be sustainable?

At Alma, we believe in creating luxurious comfort with a mindful touch for the environment. That's why we use bamboo viscose, a fabric derived from the rapidly renewable bamboo plant. Bamboo requires minimal resources to grow and thrives without harmful pesticides or chemicals, making it a sustainable choice for our planet. This eco-friendly material is then transformed through a special process into the luxuriously soft and breathable fabric used in our bedding.

About our Silk

Do you offer silk products?

Yes, we offer a 100% mulberry silk product line. Unlike some other silk products, ours do not contain any harmful chemicals.

What are the benefits of a silk pillowcase?

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase can offer several benefits for your skin:

  • Reduced Friction: Silk's smooth surface creates less friction against your skin than traditional fabrics like cotton. This can help minimize irritation and potential breakouts caused by rougher materials.
  • Moisture-Balancing: Silk is naturally breathable and helps regulate moisture throughout the night. This can be beneficial for both dry and oily skin types. For dry skin, silk can help retain moisture, while for oily skin, it can help prevent excess buildup on your face.
  • Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Due to its smooth texture and hypoallergenic properties, silk can be a soothing choice for those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.

While further research is needed to fully understand the impact on collagen retention and fat production, silk pillowcases can be a wonderful addition to your beauty routine.

Is silk safe for everyone?

At Alma, we prioritize the safety and comfort of all our customers. Our silk pillowcases are made with gentle, hypoallergenic materials designed to be kind to sensitive skin.

Here's why you can choose Alma silk pillowcases with confidence:

  • Gentle on Skin: The smooth texture of silk minimizes friction and irritation, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin.
  • Hypoallergenic: The natural properties of silk help reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
  • Safe for All: Our silk pillowcases are suitable for everyone, including pregnant women, children, and those with sensitive skin.
How should I care for my silk pillowcase?

To ensure your Alma silk pillowcase retains its softness and beauty for years to come, follow these simple care instructions:

  • Gentle Washing: Opt for a delicate machine wash cycle on cold or hand wash in cool water. This prevents shrinking or damage to the delicate silk fibers.
  • Mild Detergent: Use a gentle, neutral pH detergent. This helps preserve the natural properties of the silk and prevents color fading. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
  • Air Drying is Best: Skip the dryer! Lay your pillowcase flat to air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Ironing (Optional): For a touch-up, use a cool iron setting if necessary. Always iron on the reverse side of the fabric.
  • Cleaning Frequency: Unlike cotton pillowcases that may need frequent washing, Alma silk pillowcases can be washed every 10-15 days due to their naturally hypoallergenic properties. However, feel free to wash them more often if needed.

Remember: A gentle touch goes a long way! By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the luxurious comfort of your Alma silk pillowcase for a long time.

How prone are my sheets to pilling?

At Alma, we prioritize using natural materials free of harsh anti-pilling chemicals. While this ensures a luxuriously soft feel, it can also mean minimal pilling may occur in rare instances, especially with high friction.

The good news? Any slight pilling you encounter should be very brief and easily addressed. Simply follow the recommended washing and drying instructions, and the pilling will likely disappear or be significantly reduced. This simple process will help maintain the long-lasting softness of your Alma bamboo bedding.

How long will my bamboo bedding last?

At Alma, we prioritize quality and craftsmanship. Our bamboo bedding features high-quality construction with double-stitched seams, designed to withstand years of use. With proper care, you can expect your Alma sheets to stay luxuriously soft and comfortable for much longer than traditional cotton sheets. In fact, many happy customers report their Alma bedding lasting up to three times longer!

Are your products vegan?

Almost all of our products are vegan! We prioritize using plant-based materials and avoid animal by-products whenever possible. This ensures our products align with a vegan lifestyle for most customers.

An Exception: Mulberry Silk

We currently offer a 100% mulberry silk product line. While some consider silk vegan due to its natural origin, others do not due to the harvesting process. We recommend researching silk production methods to make an informed decision.

Transparency & Choice:

At Alma, we strive for transparency and offer a variety of options to suit different preferences. If you have any further questions about specific materials or vegan options, please don't hesitate to contact us!
