Royal Comfort 1000TC Bamboo Cotton Sheet Set | King | White

The Royal Comfort Balmain 1000TC Bamboo Cotton Sheet Set is made from a 50/50 bamboo-cotton blend. The bamboo component gives the fabric its characteristic smooth, slightly lustrous surface and contributes to the breathability and moisture-wicking properties the range is known for. The cotton component adds durability and structure. Both materials are natural-origin fibres, and the combination launders well — it gets softer with repeated washing.

This listing is the King size in White. The set includes one flat sheet (285 × 265cm), one fitted sheet (180 × 203cm + 40cm depth), and two pillowcases (48 × 74cm).

Frequently asked

Is this sheet set hypoallergenic?
Bamboo-cotton blends are widely described as hypoallergenic — and there's a reasonable basis for that. The smooth fibre surface is gentle against skin, and the breathability and moisture-wicking properties make it a comfortable choice for people with sensitivities. Royal Comfort describes this fabric as hypoallergenic. "Hypoallergenic" isn't a regulated term in Australia though, so it doesn't carry a guaranteed standard across products. If you're managing a dust mite allergy specifically, the products designed to block allergen are tightly-woven mattress encasements and pillow encasements — those create the physical barrier that sheets alone can't.

Can I wash this at 55°C to kill dust mites?
The recommended wash for this sheet set is warm on a gentle cycle (40°C). Australian research found that washing at 55°C or higher kills 100% of dust mites, and that even a cold wash removes more than 90% of dust mite allergen (McDonald & Tovey, 1992, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology). At 40°C you're in the allergen-removal range — regular washing at this temperature still significantly reduces allergen load. For mite killing, a mattress encasement washed separately at higher temperatures is the more practical lever.

What does the research say about sheets and dust mite allergens?
A few things worth knowing:

• Allergen levels track the bedroom, not the fabric. Allergen accumulation in bedding correlates with overall bedroom allergen levels — the surrounding environment matters more than any single product (Rains et al., 1999, Clinical & Experimental Allergy).
• Comprehensive bedroom control has been associated with improved outcomes; single interventions in isolation are less reliable. A 2024 meta-analysis found that combinations of mattress protectors, pillow protectors, quilt protectors, washing routines, humidity control, and air purification were associated with three times greater odds of patient-reported improvement in mite-sensitive participants (van Boven et al., 2024, World Allergy Organization Journal). An earlier 2008 Cochrane review found weaker evidence for any one measure on its own (Gøtzsche & Johansen, 2008).

I have a dust mite allergy — what's the most important bedding step?
The setup most supported by published research is comprehensive bedroom control:

• Encase the mattress first — this is where the highest allergen load accumulates
• Encase the pillow — your face is in contact with this for hours each night
• Encase the quilt — the quilt drapes directly over you
• Wash encasements and pillowcases regularly — at 55°C to kill mites, or cold wash to remove allergen if hot isn't possible
• Keep bedroom humidity below ~50% — dust mites struggle in drier air
• Consider air purification

These sheets are one component of a comfortable bedroom setup — the encasements and washing routine are doing the allergy management work. For advice specific to your situation, your GP or allergy specialist is the right person to speak to.
