Are bamboo or cotton hooded baby towels better?

Reviewers we read are genuinely split. Bamboo viscose (rayon from bamboo) towels are praised for being noticeably softer out of the package and more absorbent for their weight, while organic cotton terry is favored by parents who want a natural fiber, longer wash durability, and no synthetic processing. r/BabyBumps threads comparing the two converge on personal preference rather than a clear winner.
