I have been very disappointed with the bamboo bedding. After only a couple of washes (on a wool/silk cycle at 30c using a mild detergent) it started pilling. The fact it can only be washed at 30c is a problem because it doesn't clean properly. The fitted sheet is too small and unhooks itself from the corners when laid on. And after only after a few months, they are literally falling apart (see photos). Bamboo bedding is an overpriced, poor-quality gimmick. Spending the same amount on decent cotton (which I have now done) will give you something of much higher quality.
