New York Post (5,100,000 UMVs) published an article about the best bamboo sheets tested in 2024, highlighting their choices for the best, most breathable selections. The editors selected Cariloha’s Resort Sheets as their choice for the “Best Cooling” option and included excellent commentary about their testing experience.
They noted, “from unboxing them from its package, the first thing I thought was, ‘wow, these are soft’,” and added: “what I love most about them is their premium sateen finish. So, in essence, they’re soft, silky and a good ‘Goldilocks’ temperature: not too hot, not too cold.” They closed by sharing: “plus, they’re sustainable, stemming from the brand’s green impact.”
These 5 bamboo sheets are the best, most breathable we tested
By Victoria Giardina
Among all bedding options you can score on the market, a quality pair of bed sheets is quite unmatched.
Yet, not all sheets were created equal. The worst feeling — possibly, ever – is to wake up in the middle of the night sweating, tossing and turning and all-around feeling uncomfortable. So, a pair of cooling sheets may be your next best purchase.
One of the best types for breathability is the trusted bamboo sheets. While a bit more expensive than your traditional bundle-and-save option from Amazon, they’re worth the investment, especially if you’re a hot sleeper.
“Bamboo sheets are just what they sound like — sheets woven using fibers from treated bamboo fibers,” David Rubin, sleep expert and director of product testing at Sleep Doctor, told the New York Post. “The resulting fibers are used to make textiles that are moisture wicking and breathable.”
Bamboo sheets are usually very light like linen, but unlike linen they have a smooth, silky feel. “Bamboo and cotton are both breathable, but cotton can be thicker (especially percale) and have more of a matte finish,” Rubin added.
You can wash bamboo sheets just like you would cotton sheets, and they won’t shrink, either. “I do recommend reading manufacturer instructions, as things like water and dryer temperature can lead to faster deterioration,” he noted.
Ahead, the Post Wanted team tested the best bamboo sheets money can buy right now. That’s right — we woke up refreshed, jotted down some review-style notes and collaborated to create this guide.
After all, wouldn’t you rather take shopping advice from a well-versed team who tried the sheets? We know the struggle of buying bedding on the blind all too well.
Best Cooling: Cariloha Resort Bamboo-Viscose Bed Sheets
Pros:
- Most luscious, soft sheets
- Cooling and soft, and especially ideal for sleepers who aren’t too hot of sleepers
- Generous shade range to choose from
The Cariloha Resort Bamboo-Viscose Bed Sheets are the epitome of resort-grade sheets. From unboxing them from its package, the first thing I thought was, “wow, these are soft.”
Truthfully, you’ll have to wash them, as the smell is a bit potent (happens with the majority of bedding you’ll unbox). However, this isn’t a dealbreaker and was expected. What I love most about them is their premium sateen finish. So, in essence, they’re soft, silky and a good “Goldilocks” temperature: not too hot, not too cold.
Depending on your bed size, inventory may be limited. They hold up well in the wash as well and are moisture-wicking, even on extremely hot days. Plus, they’re sustainable, stemming from the brand’s green impact.
