9 Best Bamboo Sheets of 2023 for the Coolest Sleep of Your Life
Silky-smooth, hypoallergenic, AND breathable? Let’s. Freaking. Go.
If you’re ready to graduate from those meh bed sheets that you settled on because they were cheap, let me tell ya, it’s about freaking time to treat yourself. And if you don’t really know where to start on your journey of thoughtful bed sheet shopping, I’ve got two words for you: bamboo sheets. The best bamboo sheets are known for being silky-smooth, but they also have a ton of other amazing benefits: They’re eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, super durable, incredibly breathable, cooling (hey, hot sleepers!), and even odor-resistant. What’s not to love?
But I'd be remiss not to mention a few teeny, tiny drawbacks that you might wanna consider before dropping tons of dollars on a bamboo sheet set of your own…like the fact that bamboo sheets can be a bit expensive. So if you’re willing to splurge, know that they’ll definitely be worth the investment! But if not, no biggie. There are lots of budget-friendly options available that are just as soft and comfy! Also worth noting: They wrinkle pretty easily, so don’t expect your bed to be super crisp-looking with these. They won't look as wrinkled as linen sheets, but they'll give that relaxed and lived-in look.
Our top picks for the best bamboo sheets of 2023:
Now with all that in mind, we rounded up the best bamboo sheets for your bed, so go forth and shop. And JSYK, the prices listed below are for queen-size sheet sets that include a fitted sheet, a top sheet, and two pillowcases, though all these options come in other sizes as well.

What is the benefit of bamboo sheets?
Wondering why bamboo sheets are so expensive (and whether they're actually worth the price)? If you love sheets that feel lightweight, breathable, and cool to the touch, then they're worth the splurge, bb. Here's the deal: Bamboo-derived fibers have moisture-wicking properties and natural breathability, which is what helps 'em regulate your body temp as you sleep. Magic!
Most bamboo sheets are made of viscose from bamboo (also known as rayon from bamboo or bamboo rayon), while a few brands—including ettitude—make their bamboo sheets from a relatively new material called bamboo lyocell, which is softer, stronger, and more sustainable to produce than bamboo rayon. You'll also find bamboo-blend sheets out there, such as bamboo cotton blends and bamboo linen blends. Bamboo blends are not as soft or sustainable as bamboo rayon or bamboo lyocell, but blending does makes the fabric slightly stronger than 100 percent pure bamboo.
How to choose the best bamboo sheets
Before you add a new set of bamboo sheets to your cart, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Consider the weave
The weave used for bamboo sheets will determine its softness and durability—but the best weave for bamboo sheets all depends on your personal preference. The most common weave for bamboo sheets are twill (which provides a heavier drape and enhanced durability) and sateen (which is naturally wrinkle-resistant and gives sheets a soft sheen). Bamboo sheets with a percale weave are less common (as well as the most prone to wrinkling), but they tend to be the most lightweight and breathable option.
Look at the thread count
Contrary to popular opinion, a higher thread count does not equal better sheets, especially when it comes to bamboo sheets. In fact, a thread count higher than 1,000 usually indicates lower quality, as that means manufacturers probs used thinner fabrics to squeeze in as many threads as possible. Plus, a higher thread count makes the fabric denser, which can restrict airflow. For bamboo sheets, it's best to look for a thread count between 200 and 400, with 300-thread-count sheets providing a happy medium between soft and durable.
Check out the pocket depth
Not to state the obvious, but you'll wanna make sure any fitted sheet you get will actually, ya know, fit your mattress. Some mattresses, such as pillow tops, may require deep pocket sheets to accommodate their height, so take your mattress’s depth into consideration, 'cause no one wants to wake up to find out their sheets have popped off their bed.
