Home Source, Tencel, Big Names in Organic Bedding

Two companies, Home Source International Bedding and Lenzing Fibers, are leading the way in natural, organic bedding. Both are greatly concerned with creating fibers made of natural, safe, and organic materials.  Over the last several years, with rising concerns over global warming, cancer rates, food additives, and growth hormones, consumers are pushing more and more for all-natural, organic products without man-made dies and synthetic materials. They want the products they use, wear, and eat to be safe and produced in an environmentally safe manner. 

Home Source International is a global sourcing bedding company specializing in bamboo bedding and micro cotton towels.  When bedding is made from bamboo, it is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber, which is produced from the raw material of bamboo pulp.  The bamboo pulp is refined through a process of hydrolysis-alkalization and multi phase bleaching. Then the pulp is processed into fiber.  Bamboo fiber is strong and durable. After hi tech disposal the bamboo fiber is thinner than hair with a round and smooth surface.  This smoothness means that the finished bedding is non-irritationg to human skin. The process is non-polluting...an Eco-friendly In the process that is highly renewable since bamboo is a quick-growing plant. Additionally, bamboo bedding is luxurious to the touch, and comes in beautiful colors and patterns.

Need more convincing? Bamboo it the strongest organic fiber and can withstand a great deal of use without any damage. It can grow more than a foot in one day.  There are more than 1000 bamboo species and bamboo can be harvested in three to seven years. Organic bamboo and related industries provide income, food, and housing for more than 2.2. billion people worldwide. It is one of the softest fabrics in the world --softer than cotton but with a drape like silk.  It is breathable, cool, nice luster, and as soft as cashmere. Our customers also like it because the natural antibacterial elements in the fiber keep bacteria away from it.
