If you’re looking for a cool and comfortable alternative to traditional cotton sheets, bamboo bedsheets are the way to go. They’re made from strong, natural materials and have a long lifespan. They’re also breathable and lightweight, keeping sleepers comfortable all night long. In addition to softer and cooler than cotton sheets, bamboo bedsheets are hypoallergenic, so they’re good for sensitive skin.

When shopping for bamboo bedsheets , you’ll want to keep in mind the type of fabric they are made from and their thread count. The higher the thread count, the more expensive they are. Generally, the best bamboo sheets have a thread count of 200 to 400. Anything higher may make the sheets feel rough and scratchy instead of soft and silky.

Bamboo Bedsheets: Experience the Softness and Breathability of Nature’s Gift

Depending on the brand, bamboo sheets can be made from 100 percent bamboo viscose or from a blend of bamboo and another more affordable material such as polyester or cotton. The bamboo blends can be woven in either sateen or twill, and sateen is the most luxurious and soft option, while twill is more durable and less expensive.

The best bamboo sheets are OEKO-TEX and/or GOTS certified to ensure they are free from harmful chemicals. In our expert tests, we found that sheets with an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification were more likely to be free from any harmful substances that may have been used during the manufacturing process than those without this label. For peace of mind, check the product’s care label for specific washing instructions before purchasing. Most bamboo sheets can be washed in cold water with a mild detergent and tumble-dried on low heat.
