Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket - Soft Organic Bamboo Throw Blanket for Sensitive and Eczema-Prone Skin

Bamboo Bubby by Nella Vosk was born out of desperation. My own little one had eczema, and after countless nights of broken sleep, scratched skin, and trying every cream and clothing brand we could
find, I knew there had to be a gentler way to help babies like mine sleep through the night without scratching. So I created the original Bamboo Bubby Sleeping Bag — designed by a mum who'd been
there, made from gentle bamboo with covered hands to help protect delicate skin while babies sleep.

This bamboo blanket was created with the same philosophy — the gentlest natural fibres, thoughtfully designed for families where sensitive skin is part of daily life. If you're in the thick of it right now, I see you. I'm so glad you're here.

My daughter scratches more when she gets hot at night. Could her blanket be part of it?

It might be. Heavy or synthetic blankets trap heat, and many children itch more when they're warm. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket is 100% organic bamboo with no synthetic fill, so it breathes. Dress her for the room and check her chest or the back of her neck for heat. If her skin is weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP.

Our wool blanket feels scratchy on my son's eczema. What's gentler?

Wool fibres prickle against dry, broken skin. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket has a smooth, silky weave in 100% organic bamboo, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. It feels soft on bare arms and legs, so it suits a child who kicks off his pyjama pants or sleeps in short sleeves on warm nights.

I have eczema myself and wake up itchy under heavy bedding. Is this blanket for adults too?

Yes. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket comes in Queen and King for adult beds. It's light and breathable, so it suits people who sleep warm. Many adults use it on its own through the warmer months, then add a quilt or doona on top once the nights turn cold.

My toddler's skin flares under the fleece throw on the couch. What's better than fleece?

Fleece is polyester, and it holds heat close to the skin. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket is 100% organic bamboo, soft and breathable for couch cuddles and story time. The Pram size suits little laps and travel. For the living room, the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug is another bamboo option.

What sizes does the bamboo blanket come in?

The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket comes in three sizes. Queen measures 229 x 229 cm and suits Single, Double and Queen beds. King measures 274 x 229 cm. The Pram size is a smaller blanket for prams and travel. The old Single/Double size is discontinued, so choose the Queen for those beds.

What colours are available?

Choose from Blush Pink, Charcoal, Latte, Ice Blue and White. Pick your colour with the selector above the Add to Cart button. The same colour names run across the Bamboo Bubby bedding range, so the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket sits well with our bamboo sheets and pillowcases.

Is the bamboo blanket warm enough for winter?

It's a light blanket. Bamboo breathes, so it rarely feels stuffy, and one reviewer found it lighter than expected. On cold nights, layer the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket under a quilt or doona. In spring, autumn and the warmer parts of Australia, it works well on its own.

What is the Pram size for?

The Pram size is a smaller Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket for prams, travel and supervised floor time. Tuck it over your baby's legs in the pram and keep it below the shoulders. Never drape a blanket over the pram, as Red Nose warns it traps heat. For sleep in the cot, see the safe sleep answer below.

Can we use it over creams at bedtime?

Yes. Apply creams first and give them a few minutes to soak in before bed. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket sits on top of pyjamas and sheets, so it collects less cream than the sheets do. Wash it whenever it looks or feels greasy. Skip fabric softener, as it coats the bamboo fibres.

How do I layer it on the bed?

Put it over your top sheet and under the quilt or doona. On warm nights, fold the quilt back and sleep under the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket alone. It also works folded at the end of the bed, ready to pull up at 3am when the house cools down.

How often should I wash it, and how?

Wash it when it looks or smells used, and more often during a flare or a heavy cream week. Use a gentle cycle, cold or 30°C, with a mild liquid detergent. Line dry it flat in the shade and avoid the tumble dryer. No bleach and no fabric softener.

What is the bamboo blanket made of?

The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket is 100% organic bamboo. There's no polyester, no synthetic fill and no blend. The fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which means it has been tested for harmful substances. That matters when a fabric sits against sensitive skin for hours every night.

Is a bamboo blanket safe in a baby's cot?

Red Nose recommends a safe baby sleeping bag over loose bedding. If you use a blanket, place your baby with their feet at the bottom of the cot and tuck the blanket in firmly so it can't cover the head. For a baby who scratches, see the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket is designed for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. The smooth bamboo weave has no rough or synthetic fibres, and the fabric carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification. As with any new bedding, wash it once before first use with a fragrance-free detergent.

Bamboo blanket or cotton blanket: which suits eczema-prone skin?

Both are natural fibres. Bamboo feels smoother and silkier than most cotton blankets, and it breathes well, so it suits people who sleep warm. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket has no synthetic fill. If a cotton blanket already suits your family, keep it. If it feels rough or hot, bamboo is worth a try.

What's the difference between the Bamboo Blanket and the Bamboo Throw Rug?

The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket is a bed blanket in Pram, Queen and King sizes. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug is one 127 x 183 cm throw with tassels, made for the couch, a reading chair or the end of the bed. Both are 100% organic bamboo and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

Do I need a blanket if my baby wears a sleeping bag?

No. A sleeping bag replaces loose blankets in the cot. The Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves is a light 1 to 1.5 TOG with fully enclosed sleeves for babies who scratch. Save the Pram size Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket for the pram, travel and supervised floor time.

Which size should I buy?

Measure your bed first. For a Single, Double or Queen bed, choose the Queen at 229 x 229 cm. For a King bed, choose the King at 274 x 229 cm. For prams and travel, choose the Pram size. If you love a generous drape over the sides of a Queen bed, go up to King.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket makes a thoughtful gift for a family living with eczema or sensitive skin. The Pram size suits a baby shower. A Queen or King suits the parent who puts everyone else first. Pair it with the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets for a gentle nursery gift.

What does delivery cost, and can I return it?

Delivery is free in Australia on orders over $99, so every size ships free. Otherwise it's a flat $12 in Australia and $15 to New Zealand. You have 30 days to return it. Questions about sizes or colours? Email info@nellavosk.com.au and we'll help you choose.
