Why Bamboo?
Softer than you'd expect. Cooler than you'd believe.
If you've ever woken up at 3 a.m. tangled in damp sheets, you already know why we fell for bamboo. It's the fabric we're best known for, in our bamboo pajamas, nightgowns, robes and loungewear, and the one our customers come back for again and again.
Bamboo might be for you if you:
- wake up with night sweats
- have hot flashes, whether from menopause or otherwise
- struggle to sleep when it's warm out
- simply run hot, or sweat more at night for any reason
Why it works
Our bamboo fabric (on the label, you'll see it called viscose from bamboo) is made from the pulp of the bamboo plant, spun into a fibre that's lighter and more breathable than most cotton. It wicks moisture away from your skin and dries quickly. Instead of waking up in damp, clingy pyjamas, you stay cooler and more comfortable all night.
A few more things we love about it
- It's silky soft, with a smooth feel and a fluid drape you'll notice the first time you put it on.
- It's beautifully lightweight, which makes it a dream to pack for travel.
- It stays lovely wash after wash with a little care: cold water, a gentle cycle, hang or tumble low, and skip the fabric softener.
- It's comfortable year-round: cool on summer nights, and easy to layer under a robe when winter arrives.
Tested for peace of mind
Our in-house lines, Georgia Rylan and Bob's Sleepwear Co., are certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 as finished garments, so everything from the fabric to the thread, buttons and labels has been independently tested for substances that can be harmful to your health. They're certified to Product Class I, the strictest class, set for baby articles. Learn more in OEKO-TEX® Certified Bamboo Sleepwear, or verify our certificate (24.HCN.99443).
Where our bamboo is made
Our Georgia Rylan and Bob's Sleepwear Co. pieces are made in China, by a trusted factory partner we work with closely. We care about how something is made as much as where: the quality, the care, the attention to detail, and that it's produced ethically. We'd love to manufacture in Canada someday, but for now, doing so would put our pyjamas out of reach for many of the customers we make them for.

Did you Know?
Bamboo viscose has a natural UV protection factor of up to 50+ — meaning the fabric itself blocks ultraviolet rays. It won't replace your SPF, but for lounging on the deck on a summer morning in your pyjamas? You're already ahead.
Bamboo grows up to 90cm in a single day — no replanting, no pesticides, and a fraction of the water cotton farming demands. The most sustainable fabric choice you'll ever make also happens to be the softest.
