Bamboo sheets are the ultimate. I purchased some at Cariloha on front street. I think #12 front street. They feel like silk in case anybody is shopping. They have towels & polo style shirts also bamboo. Really nice. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

How do they wash up? Any need to iron or just machine wash and dry?

I love the Cariloha products.

You can buy them online, sign up for their emails and sales specials, and also buy through Amazon. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

I have a bamboo coverlet, and it washes very nicely. No need to iron at all.

I follow the wash instructions which are wash in cool water & dry on a low heat. High heat apparently isn't good for the bamboo fibres. The newer hotel version are slightly nicer than the classic. I don't iron them but they can smooth out.

They can be washed in a normal cycle (cool water) and dried on low heat, without dryers sheets (anti-static sheets).
They are the softest, most comfortable sheets we have used. We bought them at the Cariloha in Grand Cayman in February of 2014 while on a Cruise, and they seem to get softer and better with use.

We have a couple of sets of bamboo sheets for our bed. We love them. My wife is very particular on what she sleeps on, and since we got these she hates sleeping on anything else.

Bamboo products have the added advantage of being very environmentally friendly. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world and it regrows quickly after being harvested. Bamboo also requires very little water to grow, especially as compared to cotton, and is naturally pest resistant meaning no need for pesticides.
