Even though bamboo is marketed as the "GREEN" echo friendly sheet it does have chemicals in it to turn the bamboo into fibers. They are also being advertised as temperature regulating but as I have found they cannot keep up with the RSD changes. Maybe for a normal person? To me they are just another sheet with a marketing ploy soft as cashmere, smooth as silk with the price tag.

Well, they somehow shred the baby bamboo plants into a very soft fiber. Wow, are these comfortable. Although not an issue for me, I guess these are also hypoallergenic.

The next time I treat myself to some new linens, I am going to try some.

I have not heard how they last as far as pilling, though. Does anyone have any long-term experience with bamboo sheets and longevity?
