When it comes to getting a good night’s rest, sleeping on the right bedding is crucial—especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to getting night sweats. Thankfully, the best bamboo sheets offer exceptional softness and breathability, helping keep you cooler and more comfortable throughout the night.

“[Bamboo-derived sheets] are both breathable and absorbent, making them a good option for those with sensitive skin,” says Marissa Garshick, M.D., F.A.A.D, a dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Cornell - New York Presbyterian Medical Center. “Bamboo sheets often feel soft and smooth on the skin, which can be important for those with eczema or sensitive skin to prevent further irritation of the skin.”

According to Corey L. Hartman, M.D., F.A.A.D., founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, AL, sheets derived from bamboo are also associated with fewer skin breakouts because the fiber is naturally antibacterial. “They are also three to four times as absorbent than cotton sheets and wick away sweat and moisture from the skin as you sleep to reduce bacterial overgrowth and occlusion of pores which lead to acne and folliculitis,” he adds.

Finding the right bamboo sheets for your needs (and preferences!) can be challenging, however—which is why we rounded up the best top-rated options here, from the best cooling sheets to the softest and most luxurious feeling.
