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 handfeel, 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.

How We Tested the Best Bamboo Sheets
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.
What Is Bamboo Viscose Versus Bamboo Rayon?
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.
