Bamboo Batting a review

I did my first machine quilted quilt using bamboo batting.  Unless you get it on sale it's not cheap.  Squeeze the bag and you will find it softer than 100% cotton batting.  It's smooth to the touch on the poles.  When you quilt it and it's been on the rollers for a while, it becomes the consistency of flannel, almost, very flat.  Now, I just took it off and maybe there needs to be some bounce back time, like unrolling a new roll of batting.  Any batting I use, I like to let it breath and fluff before I start rolling it on the machine.  The most interesting thing to me will be after washing it, will it have the antique quilt look of washed 100% cotton or the some fluff of polyester.
