INTRODUCING BAMBI’S NEWLUXURY TENCEL®, ALPACA & MEMORY FOAM PILLOW WELCOME TO A WORLD OF LUXURYBambi’s new TENCEL®, Alpaca & Memory Foam Pillow provides the ultimate in luxury living. To craft this beautiful pillow, we started with an inner of high quality memory foam; infused this with gel crystals for cooling, and then added pincore holes for additional airflow. Next, we cocooned this shape-retaining memory foam with pure, soft Australian Alpaca so your head will feel like its sleeping on a cloud. After that, we covered it with 100% pure TENCEL® – perhaps the softest, most healthful, planet-friendly fabric available. And...

Do you have questions about how electric blankets work? Now that winter is upon us, many of us are considering the best way to keep toasty warm in bed without spending a fortune on heating.  Well, you might be surprised to learn that by far the most cost effective way of escaping the winter chill, and huge electricity bills, is by using an electric blanket. How much on average does it cost to run an Electric Blanket? Contrary to popular belief, an electric blanket costs almost nothing to run – in fact on average they cost approximately 4 cents per...

If you’ve found yourself tossing and turning all night long this summer – rest assured, you are not alone. Many of us are what experts call ‘hot sleepers’, and there are some obvious (and not so obvious) reasons why so many of us fall into the category: Weather conditions – increasing temperatures/humidity due to global warming. Menopause/Perimenopause. The increasing popularity of memory foam mattresses. Because it is dense and has higher viscous and elastic properties, memory foam tends to trap heat, rather than dissipate it. High thread count sheets. Thread count refers to how many threads a fabric has per...

UNDERSTANDING THREAD COUNT (AND WHY, UNFORTUNATELY, HIGHER ISN’T BETTER) In recent years the term ‘thread-count’ has become synonymous with the process of buying bedding – in particular sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases etc. We’ve all been led to believe that the higher the thread count, the better the quality of the product. But is this really true – or is it a well executed marketing exercise? What exactly is thread count? Put simply, thread count is the amount of threads woven together in a square inch. It is worked out by counting the lengthwise (warp) threads, and then the width-wise (weft) threads....

This article, which was published recently, doesn’t surprise us here at Bambi. Wellbeing has long been associated with how long, and how well, we sleep. While Bambi make a whole range of sleep products that can assist with wellbeing, we wanted to highlight the one item that can really make a massive difference to a good night’s sleep… and that’s the humble pillow. It’s quite frightening how under-rated and misunderstood the pillow is. In fact, at Bambi, we don’t even look at them as being a pillow– we think of them as “a mattress for your head”. If you think about it,...

Most people would probably agree that there are few things better than sinking into your bed at the end of a hard day. But have you ever wondered what might be in there with you? Well the chances are that these ugly little creatures – dust mites – will be snuggling down with you –and they will be there in their thousands, if not millions. What are they? The humble dust-mite is an arachnid and a relative of spiders and ticks. Without proper protection on your bed/pillows, there are liable to be between 100,000 and a million dust mites in...

Why do I need a Mattress Protector? As a general rule, if you have a mattress, you need a mattress protector. This is not only to protect it from stains, but also from dust mites, allergens, bacteria and mold. Also, regardless of the material, your mattress is made from, the most important factor is that your mattress should never come into contact with moisture. When moisture enters a mattress, mold and mildew can form, leading to the growth of nasty, and often harmful, bacteria. Unfortunately, many people are not aware that moisture is not only caused by spills and upsets but...
