    I was able to play with some scraps of a blanket and some batting. The blanket piece was 6"X6", acted like a sponge and took close to 4hrs in the sun to dry. The batting did not act the same but I'm still not convinced it is any better than the blanket. Looks like I will need to keep shopping for a summer blanket.

    The towels are very soft, and dry me off very well. They do take a while to dry by air and in the dryer. They feel slightly different than cotton towels.

    The sheets feel slightly different than cotton as well. They feel smoother, like very high thread-count sheets. They feel warmer (insulate better) than typical cotton sheets, and also take a little longer to dry.
    I have bamboo towels too.. I think bamboo towels are the best towel...
