So this is basically a rayon sheet set? Viscose from bamboo is rayon. What makes this better than rayon sheets manufactured from wood fiber?

These sheets are so comfortable cool in summer warm in winter. I love them, I also have bamboo towels form cariloha

I just know I love these sheets, I bought another brand, and do not like them, when I take them out of the wash they are stiff, carilohas are soft all the time. I just bought a second set!

We have had Carihola bamboo sheets for the past seven years and will not buy anything else for our bed. I have had other high quality sheets but nothing compares to these. very soft, cool and lightweight.

I'm not sure what the material is but it is not pourus (spelling).These sheets fit our standard hospital bed perfectly and wash great! They are like the regular sheets on a regular bed only seem a little better.There not a vinyl but almost feel like that kind of material.I guess they are more like a waterproof type sheet in feel .Hope that helps! Chuck!

I don't know. But it can be both spruce and plywood. It can be a pure spruce ply, which is less likely to split than a single grain sheet. But in truth, I don't know.

The one we received appeared to have a cover with bamboo fiber in it. Overall we are very pleased with the mattress. I would call them to make sure what the cover is now made of. The sales people were very helpful when we ordered. Be sure to specify the firmness you want. We asked for the mattress to be a 7 or 8, with 10 being very soft, and we felt the mattress was harder than that but still very comfortable. ( that could be due to the fact that compared to the rest of the world we are lightweights at 145 and 120 lbs ) Good Luck

I doubt you'd get the same effects from paper because of the texture difference. We keep an eye out for sales at Michaels on economy canvas. (they have them often). We've also made our own out of 1by2s and flea market fabric.

It is most definitely a synthetic velvet. I wasn't paying enough attention when I ordered it and was unable to use it for my intended purpose (I was looking for silk velvets and this one got mixed in with my options). I don't know what it's made of, but it is NOT a natural fiber. It's still very pretty, though.

No matter where you go to read about all the different cutting boards you are going to hear people's opinions. Bamboo is allegedly harder on knives than other woods. Although i would think that Maple would be harder. I have heard plastic is the worst for knives. Yet, I have read of pro caterers who only use plastic boards. At least bamboo ('boo' boards) is eco-freindly. I purchased a teak board from a company that allegedly grew their own teak and did not deforest any other Eco-systems but their own. I have owned my boo board and teak board over a year and a half and use Henckles knives; usually 2-3 times a week. I have not seen or felt any unusual dulling of those knifes. I will steel them prior to each use to help keep the edge. My view, as a casual user, is that bamboo will be just fine. The one thing to remember with any wood board is to mineral oil them about once a month to prevent cracking; do not use any other oil, like olive or saffron, etc; Do not put them in the dishwasher. Keep your knives sharp. So, in brief, do as much investigation as possible and make your decision based on how much you use the board. If you are a casual cook like me, I would recommend boo boards mainly because they can be regrown so quickly.

The closest fabric I can come to using to compare would be microfiber. I am not sure what fabric it is but it does not feel like vinyl. It does "poof" a little when you sit down on it, but I believe that is because of it's waterproof properties.

Well according to the Janka hardness scale for wood, Maple scores between 700-1450 depending on the species and Bamboo scores between 1180 and 3000 depending on the scale. So Bamboo is generally harder but depending on the species Maple could be harder. I doubt Gladiator would even be able to tell us the type of species woods used. I too want the hardest surface available which I thought was probably Bamboo but right now the Bamboo top is running $58 more than the Maple top. I'm not sure if that would be worth it.

It is made from MDF (medium density fiberboard) with a hardwood veneer. The finish isn't durable and when it gets scratched any spilled water will wick into the MDF causing swelling. See the photo from my 12/5/2014 review.

I was led to believe they're bamboo. To be honest I couldn't distinguish them from cotton, but we ordered extra bamboo inserts and received the same thing

NO, this sheet set is 100% polyester. I'm surprised that this is listed as a cotton-poly blend. The tags on the sheets clearly state "100% polyester." I'm not sure if they have changed the manufacturing process and fiber content on this item? I will upload pics.

I don't know; nor have I ever heard of "ply" in reference to anything but toilet paper! But these are not flimsy sheets. They have a nice sturdy percale weave. They are not sateen, which usually is made with very fine threads, so while the thread count appears low, that is normal for the heavier weight thread used in traditional percale weave. If you are looking for soft, drape-y sheets, these are not the ones to buy! However I heartily disagree with the reviewers here who thought they are scratchy. These sheets are the epitome of an old-fashioned crisp white sheet, which was exactly what I was looking for!

Fiber, I am(we are) very particular about the pad for ironing well. It doesn't stick, I put the pad on top of the previous one That did not have enough pad for a good ironing job. It is excellent quality. I would highly recommend for picky and lazy ironing
