Bamboo blends are more than just fabric to us — they were the solution. When our founder Maradith's son Gavin was a newborn, he had terrible eczema. She tried everything to give him relief: lotions, soaps, you name it... That's when she realized his sleepwear needed to change, too. Most baby pajamas on the market irritated his eczema-prone skin, so she went looking for a fabric that wouldn't.
After months of research, Maradith discovered bamboo blends — and after seeing how special they were, she set out to make her own. She was initially drawn to the soft material that calmed her son's eczema, but she quickly found it offered plenty of other benefits too. That discovery became Lunaluxe®, our signature sleepwear fabric.
Here's why we love bamboo blends, and why we're confident you will too.
The Softest Fabric You'll Ever Feel
Scratchy fabric isn't comfy for you, and it's definitely not comfy for your baby. How your clothes feel is essential, whether it's pajamas or playtime. When you're comfortable, your whole family is more likely to sleep better and enjoy bonding time. Lunaluxe® and many of our daywear blends are built around that same soft-to-the-touch feel.
Gentle on Sensitive Skin
Bamboo blends are naturally gentle on sensitive skin. The thin, soft fibers reduce irritation, and Lunaluxe® isn't treated with chemicals or fire retardants that can contribute to skin reactions, making it an easy choice for skin sensitivities at bedtime.
Breathable and Temperature-Regulating
Lunaluxe® is temperature-regulating, keeping you cool in the summer and cozy in the winter, which makes it a smart choice for year-round sleep. Don't let the lightweight feel fool you: this fabric releases heat or traps warmth as needed, so it adjusts with you no matter the season. Lunaluxe® is also moisture-wicking. The fiber's micro-gaps allow for more ventilation and moisture absorption than many other fabrics, and it dries quickly too, making it ideal for night sweats.
Built to Stretch and Last
Bamboo blends are forgiving fabrics with plenty of natural stretch, which comes in handy for babies and toddlers who grow fast, or kids who are constantly moving. They're just as comfortable for adults looking for loungewear or everyday basics to match their littles.
Our fabrics are also durable and strong, making them our go-to for little ones on the go. And because they're more absorbent than many other fabrics, they hold onto color well and resist fading, wash after wash.
Wrinkle-Free and Ready for Anything
It may sound minor, but the fact that bamboo clothing doesn't wrinkle easily is a nice bonus. For bedtime, school mornings, or a family photo session, your pajamas and everyday pieces stay ready to wear.
Lunaluxe® vs. Cotton: Our Case for Bamboo Sleepwear
If you're weighing our Lunaluxe® bamboo blend against cotton for pajamas, the benefits above make the case for bedtime specifically. Bamboo is softer, more breathable, more sustainably produced, and holds color better so it won't fade. Cotton may be more familiar, but for sleepwear, the comfort and performance of bamboo blends sealed the deal for us. That's why Lunaluxe® remains our fabric of choice for pajamas!
