The 5 Best Bamboo Sheets for Silky-Soft SleepNEWS | 15 November 2024Every time I hear someone has tried bamboo sheets for the first time, they tell me the same thing: “These are the softest sheets I've ever slept on.”
I completely agree. I've slept on nearly 40 different sets of sheets in the past year, and bamboo sheets are consistently softer and silkier than almost every other kind. There's a lot to navigate when shopping for bamboo, with multiple types that can be used to make sheets—bamboo rayon, bamboo viscose, and bamboo lyocell—and a huge range of price points that might make you wonder if $300 bamboo sheets are really worth it, or if $90 bamboo sheets will be terrible.
Many folks also describe bamboo as cooling, since it's very cold to the touch thanks to its silky fibers and natural texture, and it can respond to your temperature. But it's not so cooling that you'll have to save these for summertime—I've found many sets will warm up nicely and keep you just as cozy as other sheets. After sleeping on all of these sets of sheets, here are the best bamboo sheets you can buy. (All prices listed are for queen sizes.)
