[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't usually spend this much, but I splurged on these and OMG.  Heaven!

These aren't cotton, they're rayon. I have the impression that the process for turning bamboo into fiber is so toxic that it's worse than cotton ecologically, but I haven't actually done any real research and that could definitely be big cotton marketing. I have two other concerns:
1) breathability 
2) someone has figured out that they can market rayon baby clothes as "bamboo" because they're so soft, which is fine, but I have been given some and they are miserable to wash. They pill horribly. So will these do that?[/quote]

I switched to bamboo sheets about 10 years ago and never went back. Love them so much. I’ve gotten most of them on Amazon, a few at Macy’s, at anywhere from $50-200 for a set. They really haven’t struck me as all that different at the different price points. The main difference between $50 and $200 is that the $50 version developed holes faster than the pricier version. We live in an old condo building with shared industrial washers and dryers and they put holes in everything, so YMMV.

I have never noticed pilling, even on our cheap sheets. But the kind I buy are smooth and not “plush” — I do have one shirt that’s made of a more plush bamboo and pulled after one wash, so I think smoothness is the key.

FYI, for anyone buying their first bamboo sheets, don’t panic if they feel scratchy before the first wash or stiff when wet. That is normal, and they soften up after the first wash. Also, they’re difficult to keep wrinkle-free if you’re not immediately putting them into a bed, but the wrinkles tend to smooth out once the sheets are on a bed. Still, not for people who are especially bothered by sheets that don’t lie totally smooth. The general effect is more “drapey” than “crisp.”[/quote]
