Pure Bamboo

Viscose from Bamboo Sheet Set

Best for: Hot sleepers who want smooth, cool-feeling sheets

Our take

These sheets are made entirely of viscose derived from bamboo, a fiber known for a smooth, slightly silky feel and for breathing better than most polyester microfiber. The 300-thread-count sateen weave gives them a soft drape and a faint sheen rather than the crisp feel of cotton percale, and the brand describes them as thermo-regulating and moisture-wicking, which is why this type of sheet is popular with people who sleep warm. The set has four pieces: a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases. The fitted sheet's pockets are made for mattresses up to 16 inches thick, so it works with most pillow-tops and toppers. Our link opens the king size in white; the listing also offers twin through California king and split king in more than twenty colors. Know what you are buying: viscose is bamboo that has been processed into a regenerated fiber, so it does not feel or behave like linen-style bamboo fabric, and it needs gentler care than cotton. Wash cool, tumble dry low and expect some wrinkling out of the dryer. Pure Bamboo backs the set with a two-year guarantee against defects.
