7 Best Bamboo Sheets That’ll Keep You Cool This Summer

Cozy Earth’s bamboo sheets are a splurge, but after two months of testing, we can confirm that they offer the kind of softness and sleep experience that justifies the price. Crafted from 100% viscose from bamboo, this sheet set has a smooth texture right out of the box. They’re almost buttery to the touch, with a delicate sheen that adds a luxe, hotel-like vibe to your bed. These sheets are also nice and breathable to help regulate temperature and keep night sweats at bay.

One feature that stood out in testing was the generous sizing. The top sheet offers ample coverage (especially helpful for bed-sharers) and the deep 20-inch pockets on the fitted sheet easily accommodate thick or pillow-top mattresses. “I love that they come in a split king size, which is something a lot of other high-end brands don’t offer,” says Glamour tester Elizabeth Kaplanis. “They do wrinkle easily, but seem very durable. I haven’t noticed any signs of shrinkage or wear throughout multiple washes. They still feel just as soft as they day I got them.”

Best Soft Bamboo Sheets: Cariloha Classic Bamboo Bed Sheet Set

• What we love: Deep pockets; durable and washes well; secure corner elastics; orientation labels
• What could improve: Not as many color options

For those who prioritize softness above all else, Cariloha’s Classic Bamboo Sheets are a standout. They’re woven from bamboo viscose in a silky twill weave the brand says is twice as soft and 3 degrees cooler than cotton. I noticed an immediate difference from the cotton sheets I normally have on my bed. These sheets truly are buttery-smooth and cool to the touch—even after being in bed for hours at a time.

Fit-wise, the 18-inch pockets accommodate my thicker mattress and didn’t move around or bunch throughout the night, thanks to secure elastics in each corner. The sheets have also held up well in the wash, showing no signs of shrinkage, pilling, or thinning. After a spin in the washing machine, remaking the bed is a cinch—the sheets have orientation labels to help guide you.

Best Blend: The Company Store Classic Smooth Rayon Made From Bamboo Sateen Fitted Bed Sheet

• What we love: Crisp hotel-like feel; not as prone to wrinkling; option to personalize; OEKO-TEX-certified
• What could improve: Less breathable and cooling than 100% bamboo; not as many sizes

This hybrid sheet set from The Company Store blends rayon from bamboo with combed cotton in a sateen weave for a best-of-both-worlds feel—soft, smooth, and breathable, yet durable. I thought the sheets felt lighter and silkier than traditional cotton, but felt less flimsy and slippery than many bamboo options.

The sheets did wrinkle a bit, especially at the fold lines, but didn’t get the same all-over crinkling we saw in some other sets. I also liked that the fitted sheets have an all-around elastic that helps them stay put on the bed. Plus, you can get the flat sheet and pillowcases personalized with a monogram, which is a bonus most other brand’s don’t offer.

Best Organic Bamboo: Honeydew Sheets

• What we love: Cool, soft, and breathable without being slippery; fit some of the deepest mattresses; corner straps to prevent slipping
• What could improve: Limited color selection

If you love the feel of silky, lightweight sheets that stay cool all night, Honeydew’s Sweet Scrumptious Sheets are calling your name. They’re made from organic bamboo rayon and have a sleek finish that’s exceptionally cooling. The fabric has a beautiful drape and glides across the body in a way that almost feels like second skin. During testing, these sheets consistently delivered on their moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating claims. My husband and I both immediately noticed a difference in comfort, and found ourselves regularly reaching for this set.

While these sheets are more expensive than some other bamboo options, smart design details help them stand out. The fitted sheet has extra-deep 20-inch pockets and corner straps that prevent bunching or slipping. This is especially useful given the slickness of the fabric.

Best Bamboo Sheet Set: Luxome Luxury Sheet Set

• What we love: Moisture-wicking; elastic corner straps and labeled sides
• What could improve: Pillowcases run slightly large

Luxome’s set of sheets offer a strong alternative to silk—just a bit warmer and a little more textured. “They’re ever so slightly rougher than the real stuff,” says Smith. “But I actually prefer sheets with a little more friction than silk, so this bamboo was just right for me.”

We also appreciated a handful of smart construction details that elevate the set. “My favorite detail is an elastic strap at each corner of the fitted sheet, which keeps the whole thing firmly in place throughout the night,” he said. He also appreciated the helpful head and foot labels, noting they made sheet-changing less cumbersome. And even though the pillowcases ran slightly large and the sheets were a bit wrinkle-prone (common for bamboo fibers), the benefits far outweighed the downsides. “I woke up with way less bedhead than usual, and my acne-prone skin felt clean and smooth despite not getting the best sleep experience,” Smith said, praising the set’s cooling feel and moisture-wicking properties.
