The 6 Best Bamboo Sheets for Silky-Soft Sleep
By Nena Farrell
Looking for softer sheets? Bamboo sheets are here to help, bringing some of the softest texture you’ll find in bed sheets.
There’s a new kind of sheet on the block: bamboo. It’s been my personal quest to find the best bamboo sheets, especially since these are possibly the most comfortable sheets you’ll ever try. I’m serious: Every time someone I know tries bamboo bed sheets for the first time, they immediately tell me that these are the softest sheets they’ve ever slept on.
All I do is sleep on sheets, and I agree with everyone who has told me that. This year alone I’ve slept on 20 different sets of sheets, and more than 80 different sets in the two years I’ve been testing them. In that time, I’ve found again and again that bamboo is consistently softer and silkier than almost every kind of sheet you’ll sleep on.
There’s a lot to navigate when shopping for bamboo, with multiple types that can be used to make sheets (bamboo rayon, bamboo viscose, and bamboo lyocell) and a huge range of price points that might make you wonder if $300 bamboo sheets are really worth it, or if $90 bamboo sheets will be terrible.
How can you choose? Is bamboo really cooling? Luckily, WIRED is here to help. After sleeping on all of these sets of sheets, here are the best bamboo sheets you can buy.

Cariloha
Classic Bamboo Sheet Set
Cariloha makes three kinds of bamboo sheets, and while I loved sleeping on both, I was happily impressed with how good the most affordable set is (though it isn’t necessarily cheap).
Cariloha’s Classic Bamboo Sheets have a twill weave, which has a diagonal thread pattern and doesn’t sound as soft as a sateen weave that has a three-over-one pattern. But these sheets still felt super soft, and the difference compared to the pricier Retreat Sheets ($339) was minor.
I do wish the Classic had corner straps like the Retreat for deeper mattresses, and those pricier sheets use lyocell fabric to be more sustainable while the Classic Sheets do not.
If you’ve got the budget and have a taller mattress, I recommend choosing a set with corner straps. I also really like that Cariloha has a trial period, so you can try these out and return them if you don’t love them.
Cariloha Retreat Bamboo Sheets for $339: These sheets are super soft and silky and use lyocell fabric to be more sustainable. They’re a similar softness to the brand’s cheaper sheets, but if you want to prioritize eco-friendly sheets, lyocell is a good option (though not a perfect carbon-neutral solution). I also really like the included straps.
How I Test Bamboo Sheets
For our bamboo sheets guide, I compared our picks both overnight and side by side for softness, cooling properties, and price. Each set of sheets was slept on anywhere between two and seven nights, depending on how it performed, and was washed multiple times to check for pilling or design flaws. I’m a hot sleeper living in Southern California, with my bedroom on the third floor of my home, so it’s been easy to discover if sheets can’t keep me cool all night long. I also looked at each sheet’s quality in reference to the price to see what sheet sets were really worth investing in after testing each one.
