Q: What are the advantages for Soy Blend and Bamboo Blend battings?

A:The basic answer to this question is that they are soft, thin, easy to needle battings made from sustainably grown plant-based fibers blended with 50% cotton fibers. Because they are both made using plant fibers, as is cotton, they will exhibit similar qualities to this well-known fiber.

Bamboo Blend Batting has a soft, silky hand and some naturally anti-microbial properties. It is durable, breathable, and comfortable. This regenerated cellulosic fiber has microscopic pores that allow for excellent wicking which draws moisture away from the body to the fiber making it a good warm weather option. Bamboo’s inherent properties also make it a good option for allergy sufferers as many people who are allergic to other natural fibers are usually not to bamboo.

Soy Blend Batting is also a regenerated cellulosic fiber meaning that the raw plant pulp is processed to produce the resulting fiber. This batting has a soft hand and wonderful drape. Soy also possesses the advantageous properties of durability, excellent absorbency, good comfort and thermal retention.
