As mentioned, bamboo sheets have a tendency to be pricier than traditional cotton blend sheets. Always be on the lookout for deals and steals online and at stores. We found these Shilucheng bamboo sheets at Amazon for just under $60. They boast a thread count of 1800, which doesn’t always necessarily mean you’ll be getting the softest sheets (read our guide to the best thread count for sheets for the in-depth discussion on that), but these are genuinely good quality that have that elusive “high end hotel” sheet feel.

Naturally durable bamboo sheets are known to last years. LUXOME bamboo sheets place even more emphasis on durability, so they earn our top spot for most durable. LUXOME bamboo sheets feel softer than 1,000 thread-count Egyptian cotton and are woven for luxurious softness and optimal cooling. The sateen weave gives the sheets a silky, buttery texture you’ll melt into.
LUXOME recommends specific sheet care to keep your set looking and feeling its best. It’s recommended that you wash them separately to avoid zippers, hooks, and lint from other fabrics. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent free from dyes and perfumes. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets.
LUXOME bamboo sheets are available in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king, and split king sizes. There are 11 color options and each set includes pillowcases.

To find the best sets of bamboo sheets for all budgets and styles, we took a deep dive into bamboo fabrics and researched many sets and styles. We also took into consideration price points, eco-friendly practices, and customer reviews. The best (and most affordable) options included sets with pillow cases.
First, you’ll need to brush up on bamboo textile terminology. The most common bamboo textiles are rayon/viscose, lyocell, and bamboo linen.
Fabric made from bamboo is called bamboo viscose or bamboo rayon—and both are essentially the same thing. Once the cellulose is removed from bamboo pulp, it’s processed to create a silky, durable product then used to make sheets and clothing. That said, it’s considered a natural fabric. Rayon and viscose are the most common forms of bamboo in textiles. Lyocell bamboo is a semi-synthetic rayon fabric that’s been further processed. Less common is bamboo linen, which uses a chemical-free mechanical process and usually results in a coarse fabric more prone to wrinkling.
The types of bamboo sheets you’ll find while shopping include sateen, percale, and twill and their differences lie in the way they are woven:
There are some pros and cons to owning bamboo sheets that you’ll want to consider, especially if you’re switching over from cotton sheets:
When shopping for the perfect bamboo sheets, you’ll want to consider your preferred weave, the feel you’re looking for, fit to the mattress, price, thread count, breathability, durability, and ease of care. The bamboo sheets we’ve selected offer a variety of options.
Yes, bamboo sheets are easy to machine wash and tumble dry low. Hang them outside for extra fresh drying.
The main difference is in how these textiles are processed, which may contribute to the price difference. (Bamboo sheet sets are more expensive than traditional sheets, but 100% Egyptian cotton sheets are among the most expensive.) Egyptian cotton requires more water to produce to achieve the resulting soft textile while processing bamboo into fabric usually uses more chemicals.
We found out! Oprah named Cosy House Bamboo sheets to her 2018 Favorite Things list.
The label should tell you that there is 100% bamboo viscose or rayon in the material or explain what the sheets are composed of. For even more info about this material, read our guide to bamboo vs. cotton sheets.
