Easy Peasy - filter arrived on time.

I purchased the Wireless Bluetooth Headband. Frustrating from first use fiddling around with the control panel and the cabled buds inside the band. After just a few uses the control unit wouldn't charge as advertised (inside the band). Troubleshooting suggested removing from the band, did this but still would not charge. Contacted sleep solutions, sent them a short video of the charging error lights. Despite the product being less than 2 months old they sent me a pre-paid consignment note, to send the control panel & charging pad back to them - I was instructed to include a detailed explanation of the problem and of course my contact details. They would investigate and come back to me. I was also to ensure the product was packaged in a manner to prevent damage. What they should have done, given the age of the product is apologise and sent me a replacement. Unit is useless, I'll throw it out.

Quick delivery and great communication. Sound machine works perfectly for my daughters room
Bought online, after 9 days of having no notice about shipping I emailed them and only then they sent the package. It's been two weeks and I still haven't been delivered.

Excellent product, excellent customer service and very fast delivery. I will say, however, that I find the headhand too hot at the moment. This can't really be helped. But if you tend to run hot or get hot flushes, consider this.
We couldn't believe how fast the electric blankets got here from Sydney. Just 3 days by Australia post to Toowoomba. The products have all the features we wanted as well.
The Australian Guide to Bamboo Sheets
Why bamboo is Australia's fastest-growing sheet fabric, how the cooling works, what to look for in thread count and sizing - and which brands we stock.
Bamboo sheets are the fastest-growing segment in Australian bedding - and the main reason is temperature. Bamboo lyocell fabric wicks moisture up to three times more efficiently than cotton, feels cool to the touch, and is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial. For hot sleepers, humid climates, and sensitive skin, bamboo sheets offer a measurable improvement over standard cotton.
Why Australians Are Switching to Bamboo
- Moisture wicking up to 3x more efficient than cotton
- Cool to the touch - ideal for hot sleepers
- Naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial
- Temperature regulating - cooler in summer, warmer in winter
- Silky-smooth feel that softens with every wash
- Sustainable and eco-friendly fibre source
Why Bamboo Sheets Feel Cooler
The difference comes down to fibre structure. Bamboo fibres contain micro-gaps and micro-holes that create natural ventilation and moisture channels.
Rapid Moisture Wicking
Sweat is transported away from the skin 3x faster than cotton and evaporated - rather than absorbed and held in the fabric.
Cool to Initial Touch
The smooth fibre surface conducts heat away from the skin on contact, creating an instant cooling sensation when you get into bed.
Two-Way Regulation
Cooler in summer through ventilation, warmer in winter by trapping a thin insulating layer of air when the room temperature drops.
Sheet Types - What's Included
Bamboo sheets are sold in several configurations. Select a type below to see exactly what's included and when to choose it.
Sheet Set
Complete set
Fitted Set
No flat sheet
Fitted Sheet
Individual
Flat Sheet
Individual
Pillowcases
Pair
Sheet Set
Includes: 1 x fitted sheet + 1 x flat sheet + pillowcase(s)
The complete bed setup and best-value option. Buying a complete set ensures all layers match in colour, fabric weight, and shrinkage behaviour - mixing bamboo pieces from different brands can result in slight colour and texture mismatches after washing.
Fitted Sheet Set
Includes: 1 x fitted sheet + pillowcase(s) - no flat sheet
For sleepers who use a quilt directly over the fitted sheet without a flat sheet. This is increasingly common in Australia and avoids paying for a flat sheet you won't use.
Fitted Sheet (Individual)
Includes: 1 x fitted sheet only - elasticated edges, wraps around mattress
For replacing a worn fitted sheet, or adding bamboo to an existing cotton set. Bamboo fitted sheets typically have a 40-50 cm wall depth to accommodate mattresses with toppers.
Flat Sheet (Individual)
Includes: 1 x flat sheet only - the loose top sheet between sleeper and quilt
For replacing a worn flat sheet, or using as a lightweight summer cover on its own. A bamboo flat sheet can replace a light blanket during warm months.
Pillowcases (Pair)
Includes: 2 x pillowcases - standard size unless specified
Upgrading pillowcases to bamboo for facial skin benefits and cooling, or replacing worn cases. Bamboo pillowcases are popular for reducing friction on skin and hair overnight.
Best Starting Point
A full sheet set is the best starting point. Buying a complete set ensures all layers match in colour, fabric weight, and shrinkage behaviour - mixing bamboo pieces from different brands can result in slight colour and texture mismatches after washing.
Bamboo vs Cotton vs Tencel
How does bamboo compare to the other popular sheet fabrics? Here's a side-by-side breakdown of the key differences.
| Property | Bamboo (Lyocell/Viscose) | Cotton (Percale/Sateen) | Tencel (Lyocell) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling | Excellent - cool to touch, highly breathable | Good - (percale) to moderate (sateen) | Excellent - very similar to bamboo |
| Moisture Wicking | ~3x cotton | Absorbs moisture but releases slowly | ~2-3x cotton |
| Feel / Texture | Silky, smooth - similar to cashmere | Crisp (percale) or smooth (sateen) | Silky smooth - very close to bamboo |
| Hypoallergenic | Yes - naturally antibacterial | Varies - untreated cotton is mild | Yes - naturally antibacterial |
| Durability | Good - gets softer with washing | Very good - most durable option | Good - comparable to bamboo |
| Sustainability | High - fast-growing, low water use | Moderate - high water crop | High - eucalyptus, closed-loop process |
| Care | Cold wash, line dry recommended | Machine wash warm, tumble dry | Cold wash, low-heat tumble or line dry |
| Price Range | Mid to premium | Budget to premium | Mid to premium |
Bamboo vs cotton: bamboo is the clear winner for hot sleepers, sensitive skin, and moisture management. Cotton wins on durability, ease of care, and breadth of price range.
Bamboo vs Tencel: the two are very similar in cooling performance and feel. Both are sustainable lyocell-based fabrics. Bamboo tends to have a slightly more silky drape; Tencel tends to have a slightly smoother, more structured feel. Choice between them is largely personal preference. Browse Tencel sheets for comparison.
Thread Count - What It Means for Bamboo
Thread count (TC) works differently for bamboo than for cotton. Because bamboo fibres are finer and smoother, requiring fewer threads per inch to achieve the same softness and density, a lower bamboo TC achieves the same feel as a much higher cotton TC.
The Bamboo Thread Count Sweet Spot
Don't be misled by thread count alone - with bamboo, 300-400 TC is the optimal range. Higher isn't necessarily better; it can make the fabric denser and less breathable, which defeats the cooling purpose.
Bamboo
300-400 TC
Feels equivalent to 800-1000 TC cotton
Finer fibres = fewer threads needed
400 TC sateen = smoothest, most luxurious feel
Cotton
800-1000 TC
Required to match bamboo's smoothness
Higher TC can feel heavy and stiff
Significantly higher price at equivalent feel
About the Eastwind Range
The Eastwind 400 TC bamboo sateen is Oeko-Tex certified (free from harmful chemicals) and represents the premium end of the bamboo thread count range. It produces an exceptionally smooth, silky surface without the heavy, stiff feel of very high TC cotton sheets.
Sizing - Why Bamboo Sheets Arrive Oversized
Not a Sizing Error - Bamboo sheets are intentionally cut larger than the stated bed size. Bamboo fabric naturally shrinks during the first 2-3 washes - typically 3-5% in length and width. Manufacturers account for this by cutting sheets with generous oversizing. A fitted sheet that feels slightly loose when first used will shrink to a snug fit after a few cold washes.
Standard Australian Sheet Sizes
Actual dimensions will vary by brand - always check the product listing for specific measurements.
| Bed Size | Fitted Sheet (approx) | Flat Sheet (approx) | Pillowcases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 92 x 188 cm | 160 x 260 cm | 1 pillowcase |
| King Single | 107 x 203 cm | 180 x 260 cm | 1 pillowcase |
| Double | 138 x 188 cm | 230 x 260 cm | 2 pillowcases |
| Queen | 153 x 203 cm | 250 x 275 cm | 2 pillowcases |
| King | 183 x 203 cm | 275 x 275 cm | 2 pillowcases |
| Super King | 204 x 204 cm | 305 x 275 cm | 2 pillowcases |
Bamboo fitted sheets typically have a 40-50 cm wall depth to accommodate mattresses with toppers. For long single and split king sizes, check availability on individual product pages.
How to Care for Bamboo Sheets
Bamboo sheets are easy to care for - just follow these four steps to keep them silky-smooth wash after wash.
Cold Wash
Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild liquid detergent. Hot water accelerates shrinkage beyond what the oversizing allows for.
Line Dry
Line dry in shade when possible - preserves fibres, colour, and minimises excess shrinkage. Bamboo sheets may feel stiff when wet but return to silky feel once dry.
Low Heat Only
If tumble drying, use the lowest heat setting. Avoid high heat which damages fibres and causes excess shrinkage.
No Softener
No fabric softener or bleach. Softener coats fibres and reduces moisture-wicking; bleach damages bamboo. The fabric gets softer naturally with each wash.
Managing Shrinkage
Bamboo sheets will shrink 3-5% in the first 2-3 washes. This is why they arrive oversized. Stick to cold water and you'll get a perfect snug fit after a few washes - no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Bamboo Sheets?
Bamboo sheets have numerous advantages which makes them a great choice for your bedding needs. Here are some of the most significant benefits:
- Eco-friendly: Bamboo is a sustainable resource that grows rapidly, needing less water and no harmful pesticides for cultivation. This makes bamboo sheets an eco-friendly choice.
- Thermal regulating: These sheets can adjust to your body temperature, helping keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, thus enhancing your sleeping experience.
- Hypoallergenic: Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial. It's perfect for people with allergies or sensitive skin.
In addition to the above, bamboo sheets are known for their softness and durability. They're often compared to the smoothness of cashmere or silk, providing a luxury feel. Their fibre strength is higher than many other sheet materials, ensuring they last a long time without losing their quality. They also have good moisture-wicking properties, meaning they can absorb and evaporate sweat quickly, making them a great option for hot sleepers. And lastly, bamboo sheets are easy to care for, typically machine washable, and retain their softness even after multiple washes.
Are Bamboo Sheets cooling?
Bamboo sheets are indeed recognised for their superior cooling properties, which make them an excellent choice for hot sleepers and warmer climates. The cooling characteristic is primarily due to two factors:
- Thermal regulation: Bamboo sheets are known for their thermal regulating properties. They adjust to your body temperature, providing a cooling effect in warmer conditions and retaining heat when it's colder.
- Moisture-wicking: These sheets can effectively absorb and evaporate perspiration. This moisture-wicking ability keeps the sleeping surface dry and comfortable, reducing the feeling of heat.
These properties result from the unique structure of bamboo fibres. They contain micro-gaps and micro-holes, enabling excellent ventilation and moisture absorption. As a result, bamboo sheets feel breathable and maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature. Additionally, bamboo fabric is lightweight and drapes nicely over your body, further enhancing its cooling effect. Thus, if you often find yourself feeling too hot during sleep, switching to bamboo sheets might be a good solution for a cooler, more restful night's sleep.
Are Bamboo Sheets good for winter?
Bamboo sheets are not only suitable for summer but also excellent for winter use. This versatility is primarily due to their remarkable thermal-regulating properties. Let's delve into these attributes a bit more:
- Thermal regulation: Bamboo sheets have the ability to adapt to body temperature. They can help retain body heat in cold weather, making them a comfortable choice for winter.
- Moisture-wicking: While this attribute is often highlighted for its cooling benefits, it's also useful in winter. By effectively wicking away perspiration, bamboo sheets can keep you dry and warm, avoiding the discomfort of dampness from night sweats or humidity.
Moreover, the inherent softness and breathability of bamboo fabric also contribute to its comfort during winter. The material is gentle and plush against the skin, providing a cosy and inviting sleep environment. Despite its lightweight nature, bamboo fabric is quite durable and can withstand the rigours of frequent use and washing, important for bedding used throughout the year. Therefore, if you're looking for sheets that can provide comfort and optimal sleep conditions year-round, bamboo sheets could be an excellent choice. However, it's always advisable to complement your bedding with suitable duvets, blankets, or comforters depending on your climate and personal warmth preferences.
Are bamboo sheets cooler than cotton?
Yes. Bamboo fibres wick moisture approximately 3× faster than cotton and feel cool to initial touch. The difference is most noticeable on humid summer nights when cotton can feel clammy. For the best cooling performance, choose bamboo lyocell over bamboo viscose - the lyocell process produces a higher-quality fibre with better moisture management.
Why do my new bamboo sheets feel too big?
Bamboo sheets are intentionally cut oversized to allow for natural shrinkage during the first 2–3 cold washes (typically 3-5%). After a few washes, the fitted sheet will settle to a snug fit. Always wash in cold water to manage shrinkage - hot water causes excess shrinkage beyond what the manufacturer has allowed for.
Bamboo or Tencel - which is better?
Both are excellent cooling fabrics with very similar performance. Bamboo tends to feel slightly more silky with a softer drape. Tencel tends to feel slightly smoother and more structured. Both are sustainable, hypoallergenic, and antibacterial. The choice is largely personal preference - if possible, try both.
How do I care for bamboo sheets?
Always follow the manufacturer's specific care label. General guidance: cold wash on a gentle cycle with mild liquid detergent. No fabric softener (coats the fibres and reduces cooling). No bleach. Line dry in shade for best results, or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. Bamboo sheets may feel stiff when wet - this is normal; they return to their silky feel once dry.
