I don't know about you, but I love bamboo!  I love the look of the wood and I love it as a fabric (aka "rayon from bamboo"), so wouldn't it be fun to have an all bamboo bed?

Here's a platform bed from Crate & Barrel that's made with solid bamboo, 'Bento Bed', $1599 for a queen.

Company Store has some great bamboo/cotton sheets.  They are 300 thread count and sold open stock.  A queen set adds up to $127.

This blanket is 100% bamboo, Bamboo Dreams Woven Blanket, a queen is $175.

Mohair is normally a very expensive fiber.  It is a silk-like fiber from the Angora goat. It is durable, warm, light and has very high luster and sheen.

Right now Linenplace has a crazy deal - mohair blankets, all sizes $99.  Yes, that is blanket, not throw, so this is really a very good deal.  The twin blanket is normally $228, queen $288 and king $348.  It comes in a nice palette of color options: champagne (similiar to ivory), blue, tea rose or flax (pictured below).

Faux fur throw blankets hit the market several years ago (early 2000s I think) and have remained a surprisingly resilient item in the marketplace. I say surprising because there is a certain kitsch factor...

I have to confess however, that I have always liked faux fur throws.  Not the scary leopard or zebra ones but the classic ones that look like a mink coat made into a blanket...

Pottery Barn has a nice one this season and it's on sale now for $119 (regularly $149). They're also offering free shipping on this item.  The ivory one is already sold out.

 

I like the idea of draping the dark mink throw across the end of your bed... and making the bed up with some dramatic sheets like some old ones I have in my sheet collection, Ralph Lauren Galahad.
