Most bedding sold as "bamboo" is not raw bamboo. It is rayon made from bamboo, a fiber produced by processing bamboo pulp, and that is exactly what the cover of our bamboo topper is. We label it that way because it is accurate, and because the fiber itself is the reason the surface feels cool: its micro-porous structure moves heat and moisture instead of trapping them. The cover is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, an independent standard that tests textiles for harmful substances.
One more honest point that most product pages skip: in a quilted topper, the cover decides how the surface feels and the fill decides how much cushioning you get. If your goal is to make a firm mattress noticeably softer or to correct a sagging one, a thick foam topper is the better tool. If your goal is a cooler, smoother, more comfortable sleep surface on a mattress that is still in good shape, that is what this collection is for.
