I have bamboo bed sheets. They kind of flow like silk, but don't look as silky, and feel like cotton, but are more durable, harder to fold, more absorbent, faster drying and cooler against the skin.

@faery its such a strange concept to me haha
& of course the prospect of washing/drying them wrong & destroying them -_-

@AllelujahHaptism I felt the same way at first. For some reason I thought my sheets would feel really rough. But they are soft and durable too. For boxers, I'd just wash in cool or warm water and hang or toss on a flat surface to dry. My sheets come out of the washer practically already dry

@faery how can they be almost dry? magic water reflection? haha

@AllelujahHaptism Idk... science, I reckon. But they do absorb moisture very well and then expel it very quickly. Like if I spill water on them, it pools and absorbs slower than cotton but then it absorbs the water completely and then a few minutes later... dry as a bone.

I still prefer cotton sheets in winter but for summer bamboo is perfect
