Luff: Cooling Bamboo Mattresses & Bedding

Luff is a brand of eco-friendly bedding, that has been designed with sleep experts and doctors, to ensure proper alignment of the spine, while in the land of nod.

All this bedding is made to last for years, and the natural materials won’t leach microplastics from washing machines. Natural bamboo (industrial bamboo is not the same as fresh shoots eaten by pandas) helps you to stay warm in winter, and cool in summer.

This bedding is so good that it now graces the bedrooms of many top hotels. The six pillows combine bamboo with a blue cooling gel, so a bit like memory foam, but without the chemical drawbacks.

These pillows give all the comfort of memory foam, but won’t make you hot and sticky, and you can just wash the cover when needed.

The organic bamboo bedding sets are also luxurious to sleep on, and help you stay cool at night. Made with wooden buttons, they are sold in various sizes from single to super-king.

Launder with mild laundry powder, and wash inside out to protect surface fibres (avoid bleach or fabric conditioner). Line dry where possible, and smooth by hand or iron while still a little damp. Avoid sunlight to preserve colour (this may involve rearranging your bed, if it’s in a sunny room).

The bamboo mattress is designed to last years, and again keeps you comfortable and cool. This is a non-flip mattress, just turn it once a month to keep it firm. It also has individual pocket springs, to take various weights. Sold with a 10-year warranty and 200-night trial.

The cover is removable, but dry clean only. Sold with an optional eco alternative to memory foam mattress topper.

Sustainable Bedding and Fire Regulations

Organic bedding (and pyjamas) are free from chemical fire retardants. They comply with fire regulations, but do avoid overloaded plugs, convector heaters, and don’t leave warm laptops and phones on beds. Also test smoke alarms weekly and avoid fabric conditioners (increase flammability).

Avoid using perfumes, essential oils or scented candles in bedrooms for babies or if pets sleep with you, and know of pet-toxic indoor plants to avoid (including sago palm and lilies).
