Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug - Soft 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 throw rug was created with the same philosophy — because sensitive skin doesn't take a break when you leave the bedroom. The sofa, the reading chair, the snuggle blanket on a cool morning — all of these are opportunities to choose something gentler.

If you're in the thick of it right now, I see you. I'm so glad you're here. Explore our full bamboo throw rugs range and bamboo eczema clothing for complete skin-friendly comfort at every stage.

Our fleece throw leaves my daughter's legs red and itchy. What's gentler for the couch?

Fleece is polyester, and it holds heat against the skin. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug is 100% organic bamboo, soft and breathable on bare legs. Keep her moisturised and her nails short. If her skin is weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP or child health nurse.

I have eczema and wool throws make me itch. Is bamboo different?

Bamboo has a smooth, silky surface with none of the prickle of wool fibres. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug is 100% organic bamboo with no synthetic blend. It's made for adults as much as kids, and at 127 x 183 cm it's big enough to curl up under on the couch.

My son gets hot and sweaty under blankets, then scratches. Is this throw too warm?

It's light for its warmth. Bamboo breathes, so the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug feels cosy without the trapped, sweaty heat of a synthetic throw. If he warms up, it's easy to push aside. One reviewer called it nice and cosy for crisp early mornings.

We wash everything constantly because of creams. Can a throw rug keep up?

Yes. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug goes in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, cold or 30°C, with a mild liquid detergent. Line dry it in the shade and skip the dryer. Wash it whenever creams build up, and keep a second throw in rotation if your couch gets heavy use.

How big is the throw rug?

The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug measures 127 x 183 cm, finished with tassels. It covers an adult on the couch, drapes across the end of a Queen bed, or wraps around a child in a reading chair. It folds small enough for the car on a road trip.

What colours does it come in?

Five colours: Latte, Blush Pink, Ice Blue, Charcoal and White. Choose with the selector above Add to Cart. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket comes in the same five colours, so the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug and the blanket match from the bedroom to the lounge.

Who is it for?

Kids, teens and adults with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, and anyone who finds synthetic throws hot or scratchy. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug suits the family couch, a teenager's bedroom, a reading nook or the car on a long drive.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It's a light throw, cosy for cool mornings and evenings. On cold winter nights, layer it over a quilt or with the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket. In warmer months, the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug works on its own as a light cover on the couch or the bed.

Can we use it after putting on creams?

Yes. Let creams soak in for a few minutes first, then curl up under the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug. Creams build up in any fabric, so wash it more often during heavy cream weeks. Skip fabric softener, as it coats the bamboo fibres and dulls the soft feel.

Can I use it on a bed?

Yes. Lay it across the end of a bed for an extra layer, or use it as a light cover on warm nights for an older child or adult. For a full-size bed blanket, choose the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket in Queen or King. Keep throws out of a baby's cot.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle, cold or 30°C, with a mild liquid detergent. Line dry in the shade, and don't tumble dry. No bleach and no fabric softener. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug gets softer with each gentle wash.

What is it made of?

The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug is 100% organic bamboo, with no polyester and no synthetic blend. The fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which means it has been tested for harmful substances. That matters for a throw resting on bare arms and legs for hours.

Is it suitable for babies?

For supervised cuddles and floor time, yes. Keep throws and loose blankets out of the cot, as Red Nose advises, and never drape one over a pram. For sleep, use a safe sleeping bag such as the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves.

Is the organic bamboo certified?

The fabric of the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which tests textiles for harmful substances. Our supplier confirms the fibre as 100% organic bamboo. For certificate details before you buy, email info@nellavosk.com.au and we'll send them through.

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

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

Bamboo or wool throw for eczema-prone skin?

Wool is warm, but its fibres prickle, which bothers a lot of people with eczema. Bamboo feels smooth and silky, breathes well and goes in the washing machine. For a throw touching bare arms and legs, the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug is a gentle choice.

Bamboo or cotton throw?

Both are natural fibres. Many cotton throws are knitted or waffle-woven, with a textured surface. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug has a smooth, silky bamboo surface and feels light for its warmth. If textured cotton rubs on sore skin, bamboo is the softer choice.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug suits anyone with sensitive skin, especially the adult who never buys something gentle for themselves. It's also a lovely gift for a teenager's room. Pair it with Bamboo Bubby Organic Bamboo Pillowcases for a cosy bundle.

How many do I need?

One per couch suits most homes. Families washing often because of creams sometimes keep two, so one stays on the couch while the other dries. Pick two colours to suit different rooms, or match one to your Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket.

What does delivery cost?

Delivery is free in Australia on orders over $99, so the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Throw Rug ships free at $175.95. New Zealand delivery is a flat $15. You have 30 days to return it. Questions about colours? Email info@nellavosk.com.au and we'll help you choose.
