This is a most luxurious and unique giveaway – a Bamboo Nights nightgown from ComfyNights. I’ve never tried bamboo fabric before, but after sleeping in this Bamboo Nights 48″ Spaghetti Strap Long Gown for several nights, I’m convinced that bamboo fabric is an excellent natural fabric. No matter the length of the gown, it’s still cool and comfortable.
Bamboo fabric has a wonderful feel, sort of like cotton, but in this case it has a quality weightiness to it. This gown is made of 96% bamboo and 4% Spandex, which works well for sleepwear since it gives when you move around in it. I’ve put it through the wash, and it came out looking as good as it did going in, and it seems to be a very durable fabric. Overall, bamboo is rather impressive and comfortable as a fabric. I would definitely buy bamboo clothing in the future, and Comfy Nights has a great line of sleepwear that I feel good about recommending. Their bamboo is grown without pesticides or fertilizers; and did you know bamboo fabric is naturally anti-microbial? One last plus: If you’re a hot-flashin’ mama, bamboo wicks away moisture. Oh, what a gift for a new mommy who has to deal with the night sweats!
ComfyNights is giving away one medium pink Spaghetti Strap Gown (same style as the above picture) to one lucky dkMommy Spot reader. It’s a $75 retail value and easily one of my favorite styles on their site. But they’ve got many others to check out, so let’s get you entered, shall we?

Have heard many good things about bamboo fabric, but haven’t tried any yet. When I looked at the Comfy Nights site, had some problems. Wanted to look at Robes, but none of the pictures came up, although the titles looked interesting. So I switched to Nightgowns, and about 5 of the first page pictures showed. Even after refreshing, that was all I could get, so, picking from that small list, my favorite was the 42″ Long, Short Sleeve Waltz Gown (even though the picture showed wide straps, not short sleeves). Will have to revisit the site to learn if this was just a temporary glitch, or if it will be more long-lasting, and possibly something they will need to work on.
I think my fave item is the 2 Piece PJ Top & Long Pant Set. It looks ultra comfy. I also learned a lot of facts about bamboo that I did not know. I have never heard of a moisture wicking fabric either until I read it here.
I also subscribe!
With all the hormonal changes I’ve been going through since the birth of my daughter, I’ve been suffering from night sweats. I could definitely use the awesome moisture-wicking fabrics that site offers.

I just never knew you could make clothing out of bamboo! I love that it is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic.
There are nights that I wake up very sweaty. To have moisture wicking in my nightwear would be prefect!
I’m loving the Drawstring Pants W/ Lace Cuffs. I love that bamboo makes you feel 2-3 degrees warmer or cooler depending on the temp. I am sweating right now in some cotton pj pants, longing for some bamboo luxury!

I love the cooling pillowcase – what a great idea. tinawittmer(at)yahoo(dot)com
I went through terrible night sweats after the births of both of my daughters. I wish I would have found Comfy nights earlier! These pj’s look so cozy.
Thanks!

Cooling aids? How “cool” is that? LOL I’d love to try those pillowcases out! Thanks for the giveaway!
the drawstring Capri pant set looks SO comfy. I’ve got a few clothes in bamboo and they’re great. Bamboo socks are the best, so soft and comfy.

I totally need this! I love the fact of moisture wicking. I am currently living in an OLD, COLD basement,and at night it gets so wet and muggy. I would just be a princess if I had this, it would help those sticky sweaty nights. Pick ME
Gosh, anything that stays dry & cool plus is long enough! I’m 5′9″

I love the drawstring cami pant set. Looks so comfortable but stylish at the same time.
Some of the pajama sets are really cute too!

[...] cool! I’ll admit that this blog entry is in part because I would like the chance to win a beautiful bamboo nightgown. But I also wanted to pass on the info. I would highly recommend dkMommy Spot as a fun place [...]
Moisture Wicking Technology. wow i never knew their was a such thing. They have such cute nightgowns.
Contrast Pyjama Set
i like the contrast lace capri pant set
I really like the contrast lace capri set. It looks so comfortable that I might not change out of it in the morning.
Thanks for this awesome contest! I liked the comfynights site, but personally need more pictures. I loved the look of the 2 Piece PJ Top & Long Pant Set, but would personally just want to pants. I’m a sucker for comfy pj pants. =P I like the moisture wicking technology and think this could be amazingly useful for many women. I blogged about this and your site. Thanks again!

I love the Drawstring Pants W/ Lace Cuffs! I didn’t know bamboo was moisture wicking. We have a bamboo blanket on our bed and LOVE it! It keep us warm in the winter, but not too warm in the summer. It’s also natural antibacterial!
I learned that bamboo is soft and comfortable. I had no idea that they could make clothes out of it! I picture bamboo as the hard stuff that pandas eat. Thanks!
i like the Moisture Wicking Pillowcase In Green Organza Bag,
Everything looks lovely. I particularly like the Sandra robe.
Love the drawstring pants with lace cuffs.
THANKS

I really like the drawstring capri pant set! Not only comfy and stylish, but super functional! Would not only be great for those ‘life changing conditions’ my mom’s facing, but also the ones that come along with being pregnant!
I like their 42″ Long, Short Sleeve Waltz Gown, the little lace (?) on it the neckline is so cute
Moisture-wicking..I would have never thought bamboo fiber would do such a thing! What a great concept!
I liked the information they provide about bamboo’s properties: antimicrobial, moisture-wicking, etc. I’d never though of it as a soft material, but their products look so comfy! I like the drawstring pants with lace cuffs.
About 2 years ago, I discovered the joy of wicking clothes for exercise and outdoor activities. There is such a big difference between a cooton t-shirt and a “performace shirt” that wicks, I can’t wear normal clothing anymore when I’m working out. In fact, my workout gear is so much more comfortable in the summer, I find myself wearing it more and more as everyday wear! It is just so much lighter and cooler, normal clothing feels heavy and sweaty in comparison.
That said, it never occured to me that wicking fabrics could be used for bedding and nightgowns! We try to be environmentally (and budget) friendly around here and keep our AC off as much as possible, but no one can sleep if it is too hot at night. But these Comfynights sheets and PJs would allow us to keep the AC off just a little longer by keeping us cooler than normal sheets and cotton PJs! What a great idea!
What I like is the Long Cami with Shelf Bra. I knew about wicking fabrics and bamboo fabrics from things already on TV and the internet. I even recently found out about yarn that is made with a percentage of corn fibers. It’s nice companies like this are using more of our renewable resources.
I love the Contrast Lace Capri Pant Set
