Where are Greenleaf products made?

All Greenleaf products are designed at our office by the sea in the ancient Japanese capital of Kamakura. Our OEKO-TEX certified factory assembles the products in the northern Chinese province of Heibei, famous for the Great Wall of China. The factory's proximity to the sustainably managed bamboo forests limits transportation of the raw materials prior to production, thus lowering the carbon footprint.

What thread count are the sheets?

Thread Count is the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch. While the density of threads is relative to the fabric, higher thread count usually means softer sheets in that specific fabric. Bamboo sheets typically come in 300 and 400 thread count. 400 being the highest available thread count for bamboo fiber. Greenleaf sheets exclusively utilize 400 thread count...and it shows. Although 300 thread count sheets are comfortable. 400 thread count is immediately noticeable as much softer and more luxurious.

Do bamboo sheets wrinkle?

Just like any natural fiber, bamboo can wrinkle. Only synthetic fibers made from petrochemical processes are less likely to wrinkle. To reduce wrinkling there are a couple of options. 1. Hang your sheets for the best results. However, since we all live in the 21st century this is not really an option for most. In that case, take your sheets out of the dryer (low heat only) right away to avoid big wrinkles setting in while in the dryer. 2. Fold your sheets right away. Folded sheets will show fewer wrinkles. Sheets that have been sitting in the basket for a long time will naturally get wrinkly. Greenleaf's 100% organic bamboo viscose fibers are great for you and the environment, but they do require a little more care than common synthetic fibers.

Do I need to wash my sheets before use?

You absolutely do not need to...but you can. As all Greenleaf products are OEKO-TEX certified, it means there are no harmful chemicals used in their production. So you can sleep easy knowing that you are safe and sound. However, Greenleaf sheets do get softer with every wash. (Hard to imagine but true) So go ahead and drop them in the wash and get ready for a great night's sleep.
