It would be more accurate to say that what we call Rayon fabric is 'wood fiber fabric' and bamboo fabric is 'bamboo fiber fabric' but all are made through the Rayon process. So bamboo batting is truly 'bamboo'.
Ok I'll jump in, even though this discussion is 8 years old.
So if rayon is a "description of a process", then what, exactly, is the fiber content of my 100% rayon blouse?
I think you're missing the point Kas was trying to make, which is that the process of making bamboo batting is extremely environmentally harmful. No need to pick nits about the terminology.
