Are bamboo cotton 'luxury' towels worth the extra ££££?

As DDs bamboozles are gorgeous and soft, when I saw the bamboo towels in the NEXT catalogue here (hope the link works as am usually pants at them) I was quite tempted.
But they are a lot more expensive than the standard cotton towels so wondered if anyone has taken the plunge and if so how've they preformed?
Thanks

I've heard good things about bamboo towels, and am curious about them.

Are these bamboo/cotton? Or just bamboo?

NQC, they are cotton and bamboo as NEXT blurb states:
'65% cotton 35% bamboo. Super Absorbent luxurious yarn naturally antibacterial.'

Hmm, I think I might try to find some in person to see how soft they are.

Anyone?

Haven't tried these actual ones, but have seen a cotton/bamboo mix bath mat in Habitat and it feels just like the Bamboozles, really soft and silky, am going to road test this one. The Next ones do look rather plush....

Thanks Pannacotta.
Think may take the plunge with the Next ones. Feel justified spending the extra dosh as the last towels I bought were from Matalan and they are becoming sandpapery after 2 yrs - you get what you pay for I suppose!
