Each fabric comes with unique qualities that determine what purposes it is well suited for. When bamboo is used in the making of a mattress pad, it adds durability, better absorbs moisture, and allows sweat to evaporate easily. Copper, on the other hand, is antimicrobial and antifungal, which makes it a great choice for those concerns. It also conducts heat very well, which means it removes it from your body with ease. Because copper itself is antimicrobial, germs, including odor-causing ones, cannot thrive on or in copper ion infused textiles.
