Haven mattress uses premium Bamboo covers vs Polyester WHY

When it comes to sleep, what’s on the outside of your mattress matters just as much as what’s inside. At Haven Sleep Co., every detail of our Canadian-made mattresses is designed for healthier, deeper rest starting with our premium bamboo covers. While many mass-produced mattress brands use polyester blends for their outer fabrics (because they’re cheaper and faster to make), Haven takes a different approach  one that’s better for your body, your home, and the planet.

1. Naturally Breathable, Not Synthetic

Bamboo fabric is a plant-based fibre that allows air to circulate naturally. Its microstructure helps wick away heat and moisture throughout the night, keeping your body temperature balanced  a key factor in uninterrupted, high-quality sleep.
Polyester, on the other hand, is a petroleum-based synthetic. It traps heat and humidity, which can lead to that sticky, restless feeling on warm nights.

2. Soft on Skin, Tough on Wear

Haven’s bamboo covers aren’t just luxuriously soft they’re hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin.
Bamboo is naturally smooth at a microscopic level, meaning no harsh fibres or chemical finishes are needed. Polyester fabrics, however, often rely on added coatings to feel soft, which wear off over time and can release microplastics with each wash.

3. Naturally Antimicrobial & Odour-Resistant

Bamboo contains bamboo kun, a natural bio-agent that helps resist bacteria, odour, and allergens  perfect for anyone with sensitivities or seasonal allergies.
Polyester, by contrast, tends to hold onto moisture and odours, making it a breeding ground for microbes without heavy chemical treatments.

4. Eco-Friendly from Source to Sleep

Haven’s bamboo fabric is derived from sustainably harvested bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. It requires minimal water, no pesticides, and regenerates on its own  an environmental win from farm to factory.
Polyester’s production, by contrast, depends on fossil fuels and releases greenhouse gases at every stage. It’s also non-biodegradable, meaning every polyester mattress cover ever made still exists somewhere today.

5. Designed for Canadian Comfort

Made fresh to order in Canada, each Haven mattress is sewn by hand with a precision-fit bamboo cover that complements our natural latex and cooling foam layers.
That’s not just craftsmanship it’s care. Our bamboo covers reflect Haven’s core values: healthier materials, ethical production, and better sleep for Canadians coast to coast.

The Takeaway

When you choose a Haven mattress, you’re not just investing in comfort you’re choosing a cooler, cleaner, and more sustainable way to sleep.
That’s the difference between mass production and mindful design. Between synthetic and sustainable. Between polyester and premium bamboo.
