Night sweats make life miserable for many. Bamboo bedding may well provide relief. It is a naturally breathable fibre which is three times more absorbent than cotton, and helps regulate body temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cooler in summer. Bamboo is hypoallergenic as well, a boon for anyone with allergies to bed mites.
