I used it not for environmental reasons but germy reasons and I loved it. Like most environmental friendly products they are not so friendly. Read the thread that was linked to and make your decision. But for me I liked and and working on a oversized full right now. It did leave little fuzzy balls around the quilt but after a roll and wash thy are all gone. I used 100% bamboo from winline. It was the most 100% I could find. Get a crib size or smaller sample and try it.
