Burn Test on Bamboo Batting?
I have been told that bamboo batting is highly flammable, but I haven't tested it. Has anyone tried a burn test on bamboo batting? I love the hand bamboo batting has, but if it is more flammable then 100% cotton or wool, I won't use it.

From what I have read, bamboo batting is more flammable then either cotton or wool. Of the three, wool is the least flammable.
I don't use bamboo batting because of the way most of it is processed -- with chemicals that are highly toxic. Bamboo batting that is processed without toxic chemicals is on the market, but much more expensive than what is commonly found.
