If you love the look of silk bedding—yes, we’re still thinking about Lily Allen and David Harbour’s pink Pierre Frey palace—but favor breathable fabrics, the best bamboo sheets may be right up your alley. Because of their subtle sheen and smooth hand-feel, they can give a bedroom an elevated look for far less money than actual silk or satin bedding would cost. Bamboo sheets are also known for their moisture-wicking properties, hypoallergenic nature, and eco-friendly origins. Plus, unlike Egyptian cotton or linen sheets, there’s a cooling factor for keeping night sweats at bay. Another great feature of a bamboo sheet set is how it drapes. For a dramatic look (especially in a dark, moody color palette like this Upper East Side family home), these sumptuous sheets can’t be beat.

For months, we’ve tested dozens of sheet sets from AD-approved brands in anticipation of Sleep Week 2025, which kicks off on March 10. After all that research (yes, our job keeps us on our toes!), we’ve compiled a list of our favorite high quality options on the market. Whether you’re ready to splurge on a luxury sheet set or are only interested in organic bamboo sheets, keep scrolling for sets that will elevate your sleep setup.

Please note that all prices reflect queen-size sheets, but different sizes are available for purchase.

Quince

Upsides

Several colors available, available in a duvet bundle

Downsides

Using fabric softener in laundry care routine can cause pilling

Specs

Thanks to their high-quality materials and vibrant colorways, Quince is a beloved AD brand for all things bedding—and their bamboo sheets don’t fall short. “Breathable bedding is a must for my sleep setup, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well I sleep through the night with the Quince bamboo sheet set,” says senior commerce editor Nashia Baker. “This set feels smooth and cool to the touch but still cozy enough to bundle up with during the winter months.” Baker has the brand’s sheets in a warm hue that evokes earthy desert tones and transforms her bedroom into a serene escape. But you can select from nearly one dozen neutral or vibrant earth tones to match your bedroom’s aesthetic. These factors, on top of their durability and sub-$150 price tag, earned them the number one spot on our list.

Cozy Earth

Upsides

Temperature regulating, airy

Downsides

Not made of organic materials

Specs

Cozy Earth is another favorite around here (and even sell their bedding on Amazon). Our taste happens to overlap with Oprah, if you’ve peeked at her Favorite Things list recently, which is always a good omen. Another bamboo viscose option, these sheets are temperature-regulating, super soft, and will last a long time even after several cycles in the washing machine. “Cozy Earth makes the best bamboo sheets, and their OG bedding is super light and airy, so it’s mostly a summer staple that’s out of my rotation come fall,” says commerce editor Audrey Lee in our best bed sheets roundup. We’d recommend opting for the extremely now coffee brown shade if you’re keeping up with trends. Their pinstripe set is another classic, buttoned-up style for anyone who favors a more traditional look.

Amazon

Upsides

Velvety feel, gets softer over time

Downsides

Using dryer balls could cause pilling

Specs

AD-favorite Sijo makes an Amazon exclusive line that offers luxury and sustainability at a lower price point. This basic set of bamboo sheets is a bedding staple in Baker’s home. “My skin has gotten pretty sensitive over time, and I love how soothed I feel when I sink into these sheets (and the fact that I don’t have to shell out a lot for a luxe set),” she says. She notes that it’s hard to tell the difference between these and other high-end picks on the market by virtue of their silky material, which manage to get even softer after each wash.

Nordstrom

Pom Pom At Home

Upsides

Lush feel and appearance, made of sustainable materials

Downsides

Pricey

Specs

Made from bamboo rayon, these 300 thread count sheets are pretty lavish, according to senior digital design editor Sydney Gore. “Whether it’s a deep sleep or a gentle slumber, these silky sheets make me feel like I’m sleeping somewhere else, like a retreat, where I can rest in peace without being disturbed,” Gore says in our best cooling sheets roundup. She also recommends them for folks who are used to a classic cotton sleep experience but want to make a more sustainable switch. Available in five muted colors, this set is also ideal for a minimalist bedroom.

Sunday Citizen

Sunday Citizen

Upsides

Ethically sourced materials, organic colorways, hypoallergenic

Downsides

Fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillow shams are sold separately

Specs

These Oeko-Tex-certified, bamboo viscose sheets combine a silky-soft feel with nature-inspired hues for a serene bedroom theme. “When I first opened the box I felt a bit unsure about my decision, but once I got the sheets on my bed and saw the color against my wall and the rest of my decor, I was so happy,” Rachel Wallace, senior digital entertainment editor, says. “It is really rich and gorgeous.” Mix and match with the brand’s pillow shams, sold separately, if you want a fully bamboo sleep setup. Looks aside, Wallace also calls this set “luxuriously soft” and praised their cooling ability.

Amazon

Upsides

Soft fabric, deep pockets, holds up well after washing

Downsides

Wrinkles fairly easily

Specs

Several of our editors have gotten their hands on these sheets and have been deeply impressed by their texture. Case in point: Our commerce producer Lauren Arzbaecher has officially converted from a cotton to bamboo sheet shopper after dressing her bed in Bamboo Bay. “They were silky right out of the package, and have stayed that way, even after several washes,” she says. “I feel cozy and warm (but not sweaty!) bundled up in these at night.” The details were another factor in how well-loved these sheets were, from the reinforced elastic on the fitted sheet to the inner pocket on the pillowcases.

Layla

Upsides

Moisture-wicking, softness remains after time, breathable

Downsides

Two colors

Specs

We can confirm that this budget-friendly option from mattress brand Layla supports peaceful sleep. “This was my first time trying bamboo sheets so I was surprised by how soft and luxurious they felt. Not only do they feel like a silky, high-quality cotton sheet, but after several very comfortable nights, I can confirm that they’re extremely breathable and cooling,” says contributor Ebonee Johnson. Made of bamboo viscose, the sheets are moisture-resistant and cooling, as well as a great deal. The fabric is also resistant to pilling. After nearly one year of use, Johnson confirms “they remain just as silky-soft as when I first received them.”

Brooklyn Bedding

Upsides

Durable material, deep pockets to fit a larger bed size, color retention

Downsides

A few neutral colorways available

Specs

Clocking in at 300 thread count and available in three neutral colors, this Brooklyn Bedding set is a great option for someone looking for a nice, simple set of sheets at a solid price point. The deep pockets are a great option for folks with high-pile mattresses and they come in an extended range of sizes from twin XL to split king. “Bamboo cotton is so soft, and it’s also moisture-wicking, so I stay cool throughout the night,” says our contributor Terri Williams. “The sheets also stay in place, so I never have to worry about them sliding up the sides of the mattress.” Williams also praised this set’s durability when she reviewed them for our best sheets roundup: “Even after weekly washings, the sheets have retained their color and crispness, and look as good as they did on day one.”

My Sheets Rock

Upsides

Mirrors the feel of upscale silk materials, smooth feel

Downsides

Currently sold out of nearly all colors

Specs

These sheets are marketed toward heavy sweaters, but they work for everyone else who enjoys a breathable surface to sleep on. “The name ‘My Sheets Rock’ gave me high expectations for these sheets—and I’m happy to report they didn’t disappoint,” says Lee in her review. “The bamboo rayon has a really nice, smooth feel to it. In fact, I was surprised at how similar the material felt to one of my favorite French silk shirts.”

Purple

Upsides

Stretchy material, supple feel, seamless design

Downsides

Not organically made

Specs

While they may be designed specifically for the Purple mattress line, anyone can appreciate the stretchy and supple feel of the Purple Sheets, including Gore. “This set is super stretchy, which I am not used to feeling with standard sheets,“ she says. “I found this elastic texture comforting, and I wrapped myself in the sheets like a caterpillar in a cocoon on the first night, waking up feeling well-rested and refreshed.” Available in standard and deep pocket sizes, this set also earns top marks for having clearly labeled head and foot tags for easier bed making.

Here at AD, we don’t test sheets in a lab—we test them in our very own homes. Why? Because that’s where you’ll be using them too. Each of the sets in our Best Of roundups has been washed, dried, and slept on for countless nights by one of our editors to ensure that we’ve put them through the ringer. The sets are selected to reflect a variety of price points, materials, and styles, and we pride ourselves in giving each set first-hand, real-world use.

Good question, and one we know a lot of shoppers might have. When it comes to the world of linens, bamboo fibers are made from the bamboo plant, which requires far less water than cotton and regrows quickly, so bamboo sheets are often considered one of the more eco-friendly options available. Bamboo fabric can come in a variety of blends and weaves that will change the texture, softness, breathability, and general propensity for wrinkling.

Bamboo viscose is made from a pulp that is then turned into fibers, while rayon is made of cellulose spun into the fibers. Lyocell is also made of pulp as well and the manufacturing process is considered the least wasteful of the three. All are antimicrobial, soft to the touch, and absorbent.

Depending on if and what they are blended with, they can take on more linen- or cotton-like properties; generally, viscose is considered to be softer than lyocell. Twill weave and sateen weave are the most common options in bamboo sheets, and while sateen weave is softer, twill weave is stronger.
