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.

Great service and quick delivery. Range of Mack's earplugs you can't get in stores here. The ultra soft ones are the winner.
Bamboo Mattress Topper Guide
Your complete Australian guide to bamboo toppers — the naturally cooling, hypoallergenic, and eco-friendly choice for a better night's sleep.
Sleep Cooler and Greener with Bamboo
If you frequently wake up feeling hot, sweaty, or restless during the night, it might be time to rethink what you sleep on. A bamboo mattress topper is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your sleep surface without buying an entirely new mattress — delivering natural cooling, breathability, and a luxurious feel that synthetic materials struggle to match.
Whether you're drawn to bamboo for its impressive sustainability credentials, its hypoallergenic properties, or simply because Australian summers demand a genuinely cool sleep surface, bamboo toppers offer a compelling combination of comfort, health benefits, and environmental responsibility.
The Key Benefits of Bamboo Toppers
Bamboo stands out from other topper materials in three important ways. Select a benefit below to explore each one in detail.
Superior Cooling & Breathability
If you sleep hot, you need a genuinely breathable topper — not just one that markets itself as "cool". Bamboo fibres naturally wick moisture away from your skin up to four times faster than standard cotton, drawing perspiration away before it can create the clammy, uncomfortable heat that disrupts sleep.
The micro-gap structure of bamboo fibre allows air to circulate freely through the material, preventing heat from building up at the sleep surface. This makes bamboo toppers particularly well-suited to Australian conditions, where warm nights can make sleep genuinely uncomfortable. For anyone who has found memory foam or microfibre toppers too warm, bamboo is a transformative upgrade.

Hypoallergenic & Naturally Antibacterial
Bamboo is naturally resistant to dust mites, mould, and bacteria — without any chemical treatment needed. This makes bamboo toppers an excellent choice for allergy and asthma sufferers who want a hygienic, low-allergen sleep surface that doesn't rely on synthetic antimicrobial coatings to achieve its properties.
Because bamboo wicks moisture away from the sleep surface so effectively, it also creates a drier environment that is less hospitable to the dust mites and mould that thrive in warm, humid conditions. For Australians who suffer from seasonal allergies or have sensitive airways, a bamboo topper can make a meaningful difference to sleep quality and morning symptoms.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Bamboo is one of the most environmentally responsible bedding materials you can choose. As one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet, bamboo reaches harvestable maturity in just 3-5 years — compared to decades for hardwood timber. It requires remarkably little water, naturally regenerates from its root system without replanting, and grows without the need for harmful pesticides or fertilisers.
Choosing a bamboo topper is a meaningful way to reduce your environmental footprint without sacrificing comfort. For eco-conscious Australians who want their bedding choices to reflect their values, bamboo delivers on both the sustainability and the sleep quality fronts — making it a genuinely responsible choice, not just a marketing claim.

Understanding Your Bamboo Topper Options
When browsing bamboo toppers, you'll notice that "bamboo" can refer to two quite different products. Here's what to look out for so you can choose the right one for your needs.
Most Popular
Bamboo Memory Foam Topper
The most popular bamboo topper style features a dense memory foam core wrapped in a plush, breathable bamboo cover. This combination solves memory foam's biggest problem — heat retention — by encasing the supportive foam in a naturally cooling, moisture-wicking bamboo shell.
You get the deep joint support, pressure relief, and spinal alignment benefits of memory foam, without the overheating that often comes with a standard foam topper. For anyone who loves what memory foam does for their body but finds it too warm, a bamboo memory foam topper is the ideal solution.
- Memory foam core for pressure relief and spinal support
- Bamboo cover actively wicks heat and moisture away from the body
- Best for side sleepers, back pain sufferers, and hot sleepers who need support
- Removable bamboo cover is typically machine washable
All-Natural
Bamboo-Filled Topper
A bamboo-filled topper uses bamboo fibres directly in the fill, rather than as a cover layer over foam. These toppers function more like a traditional plush underlay — offering a cloud-like softness and intense breathability rather than the firm, contouring support of foam.
Bamboo-filled toppers are an excellent choice for sleepers who want an entirely natural product, those who prefer a lighter, airier feel over structured support, and anyone who wants the maximum breathability bamboo can offer. They're also typically fully machine washable, making them easier to maintain than foam-core options.
- Natural bamboo fill throughout — no synthetic foam core
- Softest, most breathable bamboo topper option available
- Best for hot sleepers who want natural comfort without structural support
- Usually fully machine washable for easy care
What to Look For When Buying a Bamboo Topper
Keep these three considerations in mind and you'll find the right bamboo topper for your needs much more easily.
Bamboo Content & Quality
Not all "bamboo" toppers are equal — the percentage of actual bamboo used and how it's processed significantly affects breathability, softness, and durability. Always check the product specifications.
What to check
Bamboo percentage — Higher bamboo content in the cover or fill means better breathability and cooling performance
Bamboo viscose / rayon — The most common form; processed from bamboo pulp into soft, silky fibres
GSM rating — Higher GSM cover fabric means more bamboo fibre density and better moisture-wicking performance
Core Type & Thickness
Whether the topper uses a foam core or bamboo fill changes its feel and purpose entirely. Thickness determines how dramatically it changes your sleep surface.
Thickness Guide
2-4 cm (bamboo fill) — Light, breathable comfort layer; best on a mattress that's already comfortable
5-7 cm (foam core) — Noticeable pressure relief and support; ideal for pain management
8-10 cm (foam core) — Dramatic transformation; can effectively revive an older mattress
Care & Washability
Bamboo toppers are generally easier to maintain than wool or feather and down options. Getting the care right will significantly extend your topper's lifespan.
Care Guide
Removable cover — Most bamboo foam toppers have a zip-off bamboo cover; wash on a gentle cycle
Bamboo-filled toppers — Usually fully machine washable; check the care label for cycle and temperature
Foam core — Never put memory foam in the washing machine; spot clean only with a damp cloth

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Bamboo Mattress Toppers good?
Bamboo mattress toppers are increasingly popular for several compelling reasons. Bamboo is a natural, renewable resource that offers both sustainability and comfort. One of its most notable characteristics is its breathability, which helps in regulating body temperature throughout the night. This temperature-regulating quality makes bamboo mattress toppers suitable for various climates, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In addition, bamboo fibres are naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making them a great choice for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.
Here are some key advantages of using a bamboo mattress topper:
- Temperature Regulation: The breathable nature of bamboo helps to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature, making it a versatile option for different weather conditions.
- Eco-Friendly: Bamboo is a sustainable and renewable resource, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
- Hypoallergenic: Bamboo's natural properties make it resistant to allergens, beneficial for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
- Moisture-Wicking: The absorbent fibres in bamboo wick away moisture, helping you to stay dry and comfortable throughout the night.
- Softness: Bamboo mattress toppers often have a plush, soft feel that enhances the comfort of your existing mattress.
Does a Bamboo Mattress Topper keep you cool?
Yes, a bamboo mattress topper is specifically designed to help keep you cool throughout the night. Bamboo is a natural material known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties. These features allow for excellent air circulation, helping to regulate body temperature effectively. By wicking away moisture from the body, a bamboo mattress topper also helps to create a dry and comfortable sleeping environment. This temperature-regulating capability makes it an ideal choice for those who experience hot flashes, night sweats, or simply find themselves overheating during the night.
How do you clean a Bamboo Mattress Topper at home?
Cleaning a bamboo mattress topper at home requires a gentle approach to maintain its quality and durability. Before washing, it's important to consult the care instructions provided by the manufacturer, as some bamboo mattress toppers may have specific cleaning requirements. Generally, these toppers can be spot cleaned using a mild detergent and cold water. For more thorough cleaning, a gentle machine wash cycle with cold water is usually recommended. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can weaken the bamboo fibres and diminish the topper's lifespan.
Here are some key steps for cleaning a bamboo mattress topper at home:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a mixture of mild detergent and cold water to gently clean the affected area. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Machine Washing: If machine washing is allowed as per manufacturer guidelines, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Make sure the topper is evenly distributed in the washing machine to prevent imbalances.
- Drying: Air-drying is the preferred method, as it maintains the integrity of the bamboo fibres. However, if tumble drying is necessary, use a low heat setting.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from bleach and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the quality of the bamboo material.
Are Bamboo Mattress Toppers good for hot sleepers?
Yes. Bamboo is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, making bamboo mattress toppers one of the best options for hot sleepers. The fibres allow airflow and draw heat away from the body, helping regulate temperature throughout the night without the need for gel or cooling technology.
What thickness Bamboo Mattress Topper should I buy?
For extra softness and cushioning, choose a bamboo topper with a high GSM (1000 GSM or above). Higher GSM means more fill, providing a plusher feel. For a lighter, cooler option, a lower GSM bamboo topper (around 500-800 GSM) offers breathability with moderate cushioning.
How do you wash a Bamboo Mattress Topper?
Most bamboo mattress toppers can be spot cleaned with mild detergent and cold water. Some are machine washable on a gentle cycle — always check the care label. Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and tumble drying on high heat, as these can damage the bamboo fibres.
