I am just finishing a quilt using bamboo; this is the first time that I have used it. It is thinner and lighter than Warm and Natural, but was less than half the price of W&N, and I like that it is a rewable resource (although, come to think of it, I'm not aware that there is a cotton shortage anywhere on the planet!). I did find that it was very flat once the quilt was quilted. It is warm, but not being as heavy as W&N, it's not as warm as W&N. There was not the puffiness that you get with poly. I didn't pre-wash so I don't know how that is going to turn out, but the packing said it was fine in the washer and dryer.
