Bamboo fitted sheets: frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of using bamboo sheets?
Bamboo sheets come with many benefits, including:
- Breathability: Bamboo fitted sheets are incredibly lightweight and breathable, allowing your body heat to escape from the sheets rather than becoming trapped. This means they’re ultra-cooling and keep you from getting hot and bothered at night.
- Moisture wicking: If you're a hot sleeper, breathable bamboo sheets are a great solution. While some sheets absorb your sweat, bamboo sheets keep you dry by wicking away moisture and allowing it to evaporate quickly.
- Durability: Bamboo fitted sheets are durable because the fabric has naturally long fibers, meaning they are long-lasting and won’t break down easily with proper care.
- Hypoallergenic: Bamboo sheets are naturally hypoallergenic, so they’re resistant to dust, mold, and mildew.
How do you wash bamboo fitted bed sheets?

Are bamboo sheets better than cotton bed sheets?
Bamboo and cotton bed sheets are made from natural fibers and are considered breathable fabrics. However, a few differences make bamboo sheets stand out as the clear winner. Bamboo bed sheets are softer, more durable, and moisture-wicking. While cotton is breathable, it tends to absorb sweat rather than allowing it to evaporate properly. Sleeping in a pool of sweat? No, thank you.
