What Bambooee does
Bambooee (operating entity CM National Inc.) is a privately held, founder-owned consumer products company founded in 2009 by Noam and Irene Krasniansky. It designs and sells reusable bamboo-based paper towel replacements and adjustable charcoal-infused bamboo pillows, supported by accessories such as the Eco-Dispenser, pet drying towels, floor sweeps, car shammies, and a Bioband wellness patch. The underlying technology combines rayon derived from organic bamboo with a patented vegan 100% hypoallergenic polyurethane foam for the pillow line; the towel line is engineered to be machine-washable up to 100 times and perforated at standard paper towel dispenser dimensions (11" x 11.5").
The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market built around a Shopify storefront, with orders fulfilled via FedEx Smart Post within 1-2 business days, supplemented by nationwide retail distribution and recurring QVC television appearances facilitated by Shark Tank investor Lori Greiner. Pricing is one-time/perpetual across roughly 16 SKUs at $17.99-$134.95 (towels $17.99-$29.99, pillows $69-$120, bundles up to $134.95), with a 23-night Try Before Buying trial and 90-night guarantee for the Continental US. Customer segments span eco-conscious consumers, sleep comfort seekers, pet owners, and floor-care users; the customer base is a long tail of individual buyers rather than enterprise accounts.
Bambooee monetizes exclusively through product sales, with revenue diversified across its own e-commerce site, third-party retail, and QVC, and supports a cause-based marketing platform via a Trees.org partnership (over 200,000 trees planted toward a 1 million goal) and 1% for the Planet membership. Operations are based in Los Angeles, CA with a returns processing center in Seminole, FL, and the company currently serves US (Continental 48 with full-service shipping) and Canadian customers.

Bambooee competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- MyPillow: Direct-to-consumer and TV-shopping pillow brand famous for infomercial and QVC-style distribution. Highly comparable to Bambooee's pillow line on adjustable fill, TV-driven acquisition model, and premium single-product positioning.
- Who Gives a Crap: Sells bamboo and recycled toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues directly to consumers with a strong environmental mission (50% of profits to sanitation). Directly comparable to Bambooee on bamboo fiber, DTC model, and cause-driven brand.
- LastObject: Reusable household alternatives including reusable paper towels and cotton rounds with a strong sustainability positioning. Comparable mission-driven DTC reusable household products targeting eco-conscious consumers.
- Cloud Paper: Subscription-based bamboo paper towel DTC brand offering reusable and tree-free paper towel alternatives. Closest direct competitor to Bambooee's bamboo reusable towel product, with overlapping target customer (eco-conscious US households).
- Coop Home Goods: Adjustable, shredded-memory-foom pillow brand sold DTC and on Amazon. Directly comparable to Bambooee's adjustable charcoal pillow on the customization/zipper-adjustable firmness mechanism and premium price point.
- Reel Paper: Bamboo-based paper towels, toilet paper, and napkins sold DTC and via subscription. Directly comparable on bamboo fiber sourcing, sustainability claims, and DTC replenishment model.
Broad incumbents
- Seventh Generation: Major eco-friendly household and paper products brand (owned by Unilever) offering recycled paper towels and cleaning supplies. Competes with Bambooee at the retail shelf level in the same eco-paper towel category but across a much broader portfolio.
- Bounty (Procter & Gamble): Dominant disposable paper towel brand. Sets the price/performance benchmark Bambooee is replacing; relevant because Bambooee's value proposition is measured against Bounty's per-use economics and shelf ubiquity.
Emerging players
- Public Goods: DTC essential household goods brand with an emphasis on sustainability and own-brand basics. Comparable as a small-scale DTC house-of-brands operator selling household consumables on a membership/subscription basis to eco-conscious consumers.
- Full Circle Home: Eco-friendly cleaning tools, brushes, and home care accessories. Comparable on the sustainable cleaning accessories and reusable household tools category adjacent to Bambooee's Sweeps and Eco-Dispenser lines.
