WHAT ARE BAMBOO SHEETS

Bamboo sheets come in a few varieties; there’s bamboo viscose, bamboo rayon, bamboo modal and bamboo lyocell. All of the fabrics are made from bamboo pulp, but the process for each material is a little different, hence the different names. If you’re looking for the most environmentally friendly option, bamboo lyocell is your best bet, since it’s sustainably made. More concerned with breathability? In that case, go with bamboo viscose.

You also want to pay attention to the thread count when you’re looking for bamboo sheets. While the optimum thread count is between 250 and 350, a 100-percent bamboo sheet with a 250 thread count should still provide that soft, cotton-like feel. Just remember, the higher the thread count, the softer the sheets.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF BAMBOO SHEETS?

For starters, bamboo is one of the most environmentally friendly materials in the world. As Wanda Thompson, creator of Householdwonders.com explains, “Since bamboo doesn’t need pesticides to grow naturally, the plant has less of a negative impact on our planet in terms of pollution, especially chemical pollution.” Bamboo also absorbs five times more carbon and produces 35 percent more oxygen (which makes it a more breathable, moisture-wicking option for sweaty sleepers).

And if you’re wondering about the feel of bamboo, it’s just as plush as cotton (and, in some cases, softer). “Egyptian cotton can be extremely soft [at] high thread counts, but bamboo is naturally softer, stronger, more absorbent, more breathable, and more eco-friendly than Egyptian cotton. On top of that, bamboo sheets are generally less expensive than Egyptian cotton,” Thompson adds.

CAN BAMBOO SHEETS GO IN THE DRYER?

The short answer? No. “When it comes to bamboo fabrics, you always want to air-dry them flat,” says Thompson. “Avoid using the dryer, as higher temperatures will cause bamboo fabrics to shrink. If you really need your sheets to dry quickly, use the dryer on very low heat and remove the items while they’re still damp. Let them air-dry for the remaining time.”

THE BEST BAMBOO SHEETS, WINNERS AT A GLANCE

1. Layla Bamboo Sheets

Best Overall

  • Why we love it: Attractive piping on the top sheet, cooler than cotton, made of 100 percent viscose

From the silky feel of the material to the sleek packaging, Taylor B., a reader from Tampa, FL, raved about every aspect of these sheets. “They’re very lightweight and breathable. The gray stitching is a nice touch too,” she says, referring to the hotel-like trim at the top. This Layla set is made from 100 percent bamboo viscose, which the brand notes is three degrees cooler than cotton, making for a much more comfortable night’s sleep. The only downside? They only come in white and gray colorways at the moment.

2. Cosy House Collection Premium Bamboo Sheets

Best Affordable

  • Why we love it: Under $40, highly rated on Amazon, cooling construction helps with night sweats

These $40 bamboo sheets from Cosy House Collection have racked up more than 4,968 five-star ratings on Amazon, which makes them an instant winner in our book.“I’ve had these sheets for over a year now and they’re still [the best] I’ve ever had! Literally no complaints…they are so soft and hold up extremely well to repeated use/washing. They *will not wrinkle*, they’re super lightweight, and they’re soft as it gets…definitely recommend—you cannot beat this quality for this price,” according to one happy customer. That said, if you’re set on finding 100 percent bamboo sheets, you’ll want to pass on this set. They’re made from a blend of 40 percent bamboo rayon and 60 percent micro-polyester, which explains the more affordable price.

Best Luxury:

  • Why we love it: Silky sateen finish, ultra-soft 400 thread count, chic neutral colors

Aptly named the Resort Sheets, this set from Cariloha has a luxuriously soft sateen finish that will make you feel like you’re sleeping in a fancy hotel bed. In fact, according to the brand they’re even softer than 1,000-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. “I was always a loyal Egyptian Cotton customer thinking those sheets were the most luxurious on the market until discovering Cariloha! They live up to every claim—soft, smooth, silky, thermoregulating and rich! I got the blush color and it is exactly as pictured. Way better quality and feel than my expensive, high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets from a department store. I took a risk buying these online and am extremely satisfied,” writes one reviewer. To keep them in tip-top shape, wash them in cold water and tumble dry on low heat.

4. Luxclub 6-Piece Sheet Set

Best on Amazon

  • Why we love it: Affordable, silky and wrinkle-free, moisture-wicking, 18-inch deep pocket sheets

With a 4.5 out of 5-star rating out of nearly 150,000 reviews, these are the most popular bamboo sheets on Amazon—by far. Mostly, this is due to the set’s microfiber and bamboo rayon blend—which feels smooth and luxurious—and its ability to stay virtually wrinkle-free. “I have to say that these are probably the best sheets I have ever owned. They are very soft and lightweight but still warm for winter months. The reason I ordered [this set] is because it has deep pockets, which are hard to come at such a good price. I was so happy the first morning I woke up and the sheets stayed exactly fitted to my pillow top mattress,” raves one reviewer. Oh, and did we mention they come in 42 shades, including light taupe, lavender, sky blue and everything in between? They’re guaranteed to blend in with your existing bedroom decor.

Softest Sheets

  • Why we love it: Ultra-soft 300-thread-count weave, deep pockets can fit mattresses up to 20-inches, set can be returned or exchanged within 100 days of purchase, sophisticated neutral color options

Sure, all bamboo sheets are soft, but with a 300-thread-count and 100-viscose bamboo fabric, these Cozy Earth sheets have been described as the “softest EVER” by Oprah herself. “We have nothing to compare the softness of these sheets to. They are [indescribable]... These have the consistency of a high thread count cotton sheet but it’s like the softness is inherent to the bamboo threads themselves. Softer than satin or silk. You'll never want to sleep on anything else,” attests one reviewer. Even better? The enhanced weave is guaranteed not to pill even after washing and drying and the set includes a 10-year warranty to protect against defects. And don’t even get us started on the chic color options, which include light grey, driftwood, oat and charcoal.
