Bamboo sheets...I've never heard of those, they sound very interesting.
Check out www.sleepbamboo.com. They have the sheet sets and matching duvet covers. They don't have a large range of colors, but the quality is very good. They have sales periodically, so if the price is a bit high, just wait for a sale.

Finally found 100% bamboo sheets (can provide the website in an PM if anyone is interested) and they are the best sheets we've ever had. They are satiny-smooth (less friction ) and bamboo prevents the growth of dustmites, as well as the fact that bamboo breathes so you don't get overheated. I probably sound lame being excited about sheets, but a nice set is damn hard to find ya know!
Bamboo sheets are awesome. We managed to pick up a couple complete sets from Target for $5 each on the clearance, one was in purple and the other had a jammed zipper on the packaging.

How did they hold up? I've just read a whole bunch of reviews and the cheaper bamboo sheets seem to pill a lot and don't hold up as well.

They're awesome...they were $75 odd sets originally so nothing earth shattering but a bit more pricey than the usual tat.

Had them about 6-8 months now I think, still soft, still look great...lovely set of sheets. I think they were probably Target own brand, I can't imagine them reducing anything else that much? So worth a look, probably now that it's getting into spring/summer stuff that they tend to clear out the winter stock so probably find them cheap on the end shelves again.
