1.0 out of 5 stars | Soft but comes with a Caution!!
Color: White

I loved this blanket!! Sooo soft! But WARNING!!! MY 2 YEAR OLD SON HAD A ALLERGIC REACTION to this Bamboo blanket! What do they use as a chemical to break down the bamboo?! I smelt it soon as I opened package. Parents save your self the emergency room visits when you wake up to your toddler, child with 3 inch hives welts all over body itchy and swollen eyes!! I have been washing my sheets too , got rid of blanket and he is still having light reactions!! Be careful!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars | Great product from a veteran owned company! Two thumbs up!
Color: White
Size: Queen
First let me start by giving the Bamboo Bay Company a big thumbs up! I contacted them thru Amazon before purchasing to confirm that this comforter was indeed machine washable as I don’t use ANY bedding that can’t be laundered first. I received a quick reply giving step by step washing instructions. Thank you Bamboo Bay! The comforter was delivered a couple days later in a box so small, it had both my husband and I laughing, but as soon as I opened the sealed plastic bag inside the box, the comforter immediately sprang to life. There was absolutely no odor and the comforter came sealed and in pristine condition, however, as I stated above, I refuse to put anything on the bed without washing it first, so off to the laundromat I went. I used one of the commercial front load washers with a mild detergent and 2 tennis balls, each covered with a sock as per the instructions, but used no fabric softener, also as per the instructions. I then placed it in a large dryer along with the tennis balls and dried on a delicate setting. It took a long time on low heat to fully dry, but the result was totally worth it. My new comforter came out extremely soft and fluffy with no wrinkles, pilling, loose threads or shrinkage. (I could probably have used my own washer/dryer, but I felt it was best to provide the extra room a commercial washer and dryer affords to allow the comforter to fully expand and dry thoroughly.) Once dry, I inserted it into my duvet cover to protect it, but if I didn’t have little dogs who love to sleep on the bed, I would have loved to use it as is. It was so soft and cloud like! I would also like to mention that the same day my comforter arrived from Amazon, I received an additional email from Bamboo Bay thanking me for my purchase and again including the full washing instructions. Very nice touch! In conclusion, I am very pleased with my purchase and I especially like the fact that this is a veteran owned company. I can’t yet comment on the cooling properties of this comforter, as I haven’t yet used it in the Texas heat. I hope to be able to invest in a duvet cover and sheets from Bamboo Bay someday as well to truly take advantage of the cooling properties of bamboo, but for now I am very, very happy with my purchase! (I will come back and update this review as soon as I can regarding the cooling properties.). In the meantime, I highly recommend this comforter and this company!

5.0 out of 5 stars | Much Cooler than Down
Color: White
Size: King
This blanket is definitely cooler than down, despite our layered foam mattress. The outside is cool to the touch as advertised, but then you cannot use it with a normal duvet. We purchased a linen duvet that was expensive than the bamboo cover, and that worked well, too. I'm not sure if it works/cools better w/out the linen duvet, but we for sure wanted it encased in something. Overall, great blanket especially for the modest price.

4.0 out of 5 stars | Great material
Color: White
Size: King
Fluffy but very light weight and not too warm (which was my goal). The exterior bamboo material is so nice that I hated to put a cover on it! Definitely would not survive animal paws without one, though. I would not say it is cooling (though the bamboo is cold to the touch), but it does provide the comfort of fluff without being super hot. Not the most responsive customer service, but a great duvet. EDIT: The one issue I have found with the duvet is that the (wonderful) bamboo cover slides and shifts around in a duvet cover because it is smooth, slick, soft. This would be best used without a cover (unless you enjoy fighting with the cover daily).

5.0 out of 5 stars | Blanket is so fluffy like a cloud and fancy (didn't work out for me, but amazing customer service)
Color: White
Size: Queen
I reaaaaally wanted to like this and the bamboo duvet cover from them too, but they did not work out for me, a hot sleeper. It may work for you, though, and in the end, I'm giving 5 stars because of their customer service. They resolved my issues in a timely manner, and the comforter wasn't defective or anything at all (guess that makes me the defective one? 😉Lol). This comforter is so soft and fluffy, like it really is luxury for an affordable price. Fun to squeeze too because it is so poofy. Unfortunately, I was more sweaty during the night (even in cold temps) than ever before. My cat and partner were fine (in fact, I think cat is sad to see it gone), though. Go figure. Again, not for all, but if it works for you, you'll love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars | Soft blanket doesnt stay cool though
Color: White
Size: King
texture feels light and soft, its cool to the touch at first but then it just heats up even in the cold weather we are currently experiencing. So not really recommended if you are looking for a cool blanket.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Worth it!
Color: White
Size: Queen
We slept so great with our new comforter last night! It was nice and warm, but very breathable so no night sweats. It's not very heavy, but allows you to layer with other blankets if it does get too cold. The material is very silky just like the sheets which are also amazing. The only thing I hope they come out with is a cover or different colors to avoid getting the white comforter dirty. Thank you Bamboo Bay, we love your products!

5.0 out of 5 stars | Well made and very comfortable
Color: White
Size: Queen
This is a wonderful comforter. It is very well made, and extremely silky soft. It is the perfect middle size comforter for me. I have a thinner one which I use for super hot summers, and huge thick one for winter and now this one is good for the middle. I have a Queen bed and it’s perfect size. Very cozy, well made, easy to wash, silky soft.
