What does it  mean when we say Breathable bed linen?

Breathable bed linen means that the bed linen allows the air to flow more naturally resulting in a better temperature equilibrium , fresher and more comfortable sleep. For example the higher the thread count in cotton usually means a softer fabric with the cotton weave closer and thus trapping the heat which can be a challenge because you can become overly warm. Therefore  making cotton less breathable.

Bamboo bed linen however is extremely breathable and naturally feathery soft regardless of the thread count, anti microbial and a highly renewable resource resulting in a much more comfortable sleep. Bamboo bed linen is naturally warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

How can heat affect your sleep at night ?

Extreme heat can affect your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. If you are too warm or too cold this can affect sleep as well as altering the time spent in REM sleep and other sleep stages, keeping blood pressure elevated and making it harder to fall asleep.

The Drop in core body temperature is a signal for our bodies to prepare for sleep – this is a deeply ingrained characteristic that is common across a number of mammals(ref: Edward C Hardy , Nicholas P Frank, and William W The Temperature dependance of sleep frontiers in neuroscience)
