Thats where we come in.
Read on for our five faves, plus expert insight fromJeffrey Kambak, CEO of Yunus Textile Mills Limited.
They shrunk a bit after washing.

Plus, they hardly wrinkled, makingthe bed-making processhassle free.
We were surprised at how breathable and comfortable these sheets were at any temperature.
The more weve washed them, the softer and cozier theyve gotten.

After six months, we have no complaints.
There were a few loose threads upon arrival, and they got wrinkly after washing.
While bamboo bedding can be expensive, good sheets dont have to break the bank.
We were amazed by how soft and cool they were.
The sheets fit our thick mattress perfectly, with a convenient elastic strap that keeps the corners secure.
Despite these minor issues, we think the sheets reasonable price and cooling abilities make it a real steal.
The high price makes them an investment.
We could tell the sheets were luxe as soon as we unboxed them.
The material was ridiculously soft to the touch, offering a lightweight feel and comforting coziness.
Best of all, we were amazed by how cool the sheets kept us.
Even those of us who are hot sleepers found them surprisingly breathable overnight.
The main (and perhaps only) downside to these sheets is the price.

At over $300 for a queen set, theyre definitely a splurge.
After nine months of use, they are still just as softif not softerthan they were on day one.
We noticed a few snags and loose threads.

Night sweats are no fun, and findingcooling sheetsis the key to a comfortable nights sleep.
Thats why we love the Bampure Organic Bamboo Bed Sheets.
During testing, we found these sheets to be soft, silky, and cool to the touch.
On warmer nights, we never once woke up feeling sweaty.
After sleeping under the top sheet, we actually feltcooler, not warmer.
Plus, the sheets kept their soft texture throughout the entire testing period.
The sheets were lighter in color than we expected, and the material a bit silkier than anticipated.
However, they still proved durable over six months and have earned a permanent spot in our sheets rotation.
They arent very durable and developed some loose threads after washing.
True to their name, we found these sheets from California Design Den incredibly soft.
They have a nice weight to them, giving the material a sturdy feel.
We were amazed by the silky texture, especially considering the reasonable price.
After just one month of use, we were sleeping noticeably better.
The only downside was that they did look a bit wrinkly on our bed.
Unfortunately, they didnt perform as well in the durability department, showing several loose threads after laundering.
First, we inspected each sheet set for loose threads, discoloration, and any other visible flaws.
During this check, we also compared the actual measurements to the manufacturers advertised specs.
The quicker the water dispersed, the better the moisture management.
We then washed and dried each sheet set according to the manufacturers instructions, measuring any shrinkage or stretching.
After laundering the sheets, we checked how visible any stains were.
Bamboo rayon comes from cellulose, while bamboo viscose is made from regenerated cellulose fibers, or pulp.
Another option isbamboo lyocell, which is produced by dissolving raw bamboo in a solvent.
Like viscose and rayon, bamboo lyocell is soft, moisture wicking, and cooling.
That said, its often more expensive than viscose and rayon, and not as soft and sturdy.
Youll often find bamboo blended with other materials, like cotton, linen, or polyester.
If the manufacturer doesnt specify that the sheets are 100% bamboo, theyre probably a blend.
Twill weaves make the fabric a bit thicker and sturdier, but also less breathable.
Bamboopercale sheetsare the most breathable, but theyre less common.
Most of the options on our list have sateen weaves.
Pocket Depth
Pocket depthrefers to how deep a fitted sheet can stretch to accommodate your mattress.

Youll want to give yourself a bit of extra room so the bed-making process isnt too tough.
All of the sheets on our list have pocket depths between 16 and 20 inches.
For extra-thick mattresses, we recommendCozy Earth’s bamboo sheet set, thanks to its impressive 20-inch pocket.

A higher thread count actually makes the fabric denser, which can restrict the airflow of your sheets.
For bamboo sheets, Kambak suggests looking for a thread count between 200 and 400.
Its important to be wary of any brand that calls their bamboo sheets organic.
