Written by the company

Paragon Bamboo is a young and innovative company with decades of experience behind it. The company was created and launched in 2018 to design and manufacture innovative, premium quality products from an organic, sustainable and renewable natural resource – products which, at the end of their useful life, can be composted, therefore our products are helping to reduce landfill. An exhaustive testing criterion on fabrics from across the globe resulted in a comprehensive range which currently includes 100% bamboo bed linen, duvets, mattress protectors, bamboo pillows with a 100% bamboo filling and bamboo towels. But our thirst for organic and recyclable innovation has not stopped, we continue to test and explore new concepts which will result in our range of bamboo products continuing to grow. We aim to meet the growing demand for recyclable and compostable fabrics. All of the bamboo we use in our fabrics is organically grown without the need for additional water and without the use of pesticides and fertilizers. All of the bamboo fabric used in making our products meets the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 product class, making our products suitable for infants as well as adults.

I’ve bought from Paragon previously and…

I’ve bought from Paragon previously and had to return the item, it was exchanged after a bit of a ha ha so I was a bit dubious to buy from this firm again.
I’m glad I did the service has imp immensely and the duvet cover is perfect.

Extremely cool

Excellent service and the coolest smoothest fabric we've ever slept on. We'll be buying more sets soon. Cheapest price for 100% bamboo.

Quite thin towels, but they do the job.

I got a pack of 8 bamboo towels (of different sizes). First I wish you could buy individual towels to try them out, but there’s only packs of two minimum. The towels dry well, but they are very thin and look cheap. They are made in China, which is not great for environmental costs. Overall, they are ok, but not exceptional. Better than Ikea towels though!

Edit: after using the towels for more than a month, I decided to decrease my rating of 1 star because they keep leaving fluff on my skin when I dry myself, and they do not dry very well. I have used bamboo towels before (from Cariloha) and they were much better on all fronts, unfortunately they do not exist in the UK.

Hi Leonos,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Our towels can be purchased individually, allowing you to choose exactly what you need. You can find them listed on our website under the towel section.

I'm sorry to hear that you are not pleased with our towels. Working with 100% bamboo is challenging as it is an incredibly soft and delicate fabric. We have made our towels as thick as the fabric allows while ensuring they remain strong.

Most bamboo products are made in China & Asia, as this is where Bamboo originates, and they have bamboo forests unlike anywhere else in the world. If you are concerned about its origin, I would suggest looking at another fabric material.

Kind regards,
Paragon Bamboo

Terrible sizing!

I’ve purchased MANY bedding sets from Paragon Bamboo. This last set was a big disappointment. I have a new super king bed and unfortunately, because I HAVE ordered so many, I didn’t check to see how it measured with the mattress and duvet. It’s about 4-5 inches off on both. But as I’ve used them, I’m out of luck to return. Didn’t even ask. So do yourself a favour and measure the bedding BEFORE YOU PUT THEN ON and by all means before you sleep on them. Take photos and request another set. You’ll be glad you did!

Best for towels

I always buy my towels for my massage business from Paragon. They are so soft, dry quickly, and come in a good range of sizes and colours. They wash really well.
This time I was missing a towel when my order arrived, I emailed and they sent out a replacement straight away.

Very poor quality and terrible customer service.

I purchased their 'summer' duvet. This is listed as 3-5 tog which should be very light. Unfortunately the quilt itself feels cheap not like other bamboo duvets I have. It is also far too hot to be used as a summer duvet. It was a bit heavier than expected but you can't know how warm something it without using it.

When I asked for a return and refund the 'MD was rude, patronising and unhelpful via email, refusing to refund the product despite it clearly being not as described on the website and not being appropriate for 'summer' despite it being described that way. The excuse was it's hard to know how warm bamboo is. Bizarre.

Buy your bamboo bedding from Panda or another company that values their customers and rectifies problems immediately and with no rudeness when they arise.

Dear Anna,

Dear Anna, we appreciate your feedback and we're sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with our summer duvet. You mentioned that it feels cheap, but we respectfully disagree. Our bamboo duvet is crafted from 100% bamboo material, a stark contrast to other companies that often blend their bamboo duvets with cheaper materials like microfibre. When used with our 100% bamboo bed linen, you can fully experience the natural temperature-regulating properties of bamboo.

We understand that you may have expected a different experience with our duvet, but please note that for hygiene reasons, we are unable to accept returns on used products. This is a standard policy that many companies, including ours, adhere to.

We have received many positive reviews about our duvets, particularly from customers who suffer from night sweats. Our MD's comment was intended to convey that our bamboo duvets are different from down or polyester duvets, so the usual Tog rating is not directly applicable to them. Hence, we state they are around 3-5 Tog.

We hope this information clarifies any concerns you may have had. I appreciate your understanding.

Sincerely,
Paragon Bamboo

The products themselves look great and…

The products themselves look great and we are looking forward to using them, thank you. However the packaging we received them in was not very good, which may be partly the courier's fault. The box was damp, damaged and going moldy which may be the courier's problem or perhaps due to reusing an old box (the reusing of boxes is great but not if there's mold). However I was also not very impressed by the amount of plastic tape used which said 'for a greener planet' on. I sent some feedback privately regarding the above and suggesting they use recyclable tape which many eco conscious companies are using now. However I was disappointed not to receive a reply to what I thought was constructive criticism. I spent a good while removing all the tape so that I could recycle it. I think I would have left a better review if my feedback had been acknowledged. I just hope the mold spores haven't transferred to the new duvet.

Best bamboo in my opinion

Best bamboo in my opinion. Ordered the duck egg blue and it is lovely. Will be ordering again soon. These are the words of her indoors, which I fully agree with.

LOVE Paragon Bamboo

LOVE Paragon Bamboo so many choices in colours, they wash incredibly well without fading! They are soft as silk and luxurious at affordable prices. I've introduced my partner to Paragon and he's also purchased a few sets in varying colours 😀

The bedding is very good quality.

The bedding is very good quality and a nice texture, but I have allergies and I think cotton is better for me. So unfortunately I had to return the bedding. Please don't let this put anyone off as everyone is different and I'm sure the majority of people would love the bedding.
I found it very easy to return and the customer service was excellent. I contacted them on the phone and they were polite, kind and understanding. I was refunded straight away.
So thank you Paragon Bamboo for your time and courtesy.

I bought a pricey bamboo dressing gown…

I bought a pricey bamboo dressing gown / robe from Paragon six months ago.

It started to unravel almost immediately. I contacted the company to give them a chance to explain but got nothing back. I just gave up on it recently and cut it up to make kitchen cloths. By this point it was utterly falling apart.

I don’t believe my robe is bamboo and the quality is awful.

Great

100% Bamboo Bed Set (4 piece)

In colour grey, came in less than 48 hours which I couldn't believe as I ordered it at 11pm at night. Comes in a really nice bag, well packaged, great quality, silky smooth and great to sleep in. I have severe eczema and allergies and so far feels great

Company great, but the duvet might not be for you…

Service was great, delivery quick, freebies included and the quality of the duvet excellent, however, we disappointingly found zero cooling benefits with the summer duvet, and in our opinion see it far more suitable as a winter duvet.

Customer support was prompt and quick in offering some information and assistance after we left our initial review. We were also offerer a some help with a future order if needed.

While we do rate Paragonbamboo as a company and their services, we would personally suggest if you’re looking for a cool duvet for summer, to consider an alternative duvet elsewhere that’s lighter, offering better cooling, and at a far lower price.
