Wash sheets and pillowcases in a cold wash on the gentle cycle. Dry on low heat and remove as soon as they are dry to prevent any wrinkling. Avoid using fabric softeners or dryer balls to prevent pilling.

Bamboo sheet sets, also known as bamboo viscose or rayon, offer breathable, ultrasoft fabric, pulling moisture away from your skin to keep you cool while keeping enough warm air between your body and the sheet to keep you warm. There are a few considerations when shopping for a bamboo sheet set, and they all depend on your individualized sleeping patterns. The first consideration is the material. Pure bamboo sheets are 100% organic while others are sold as bamboo blended with polyester or cotton. Material blends are common due to their lower cost, so if you are on a tight budget but want to try bamboo sheets, a bamboo blend may be a good choice. However, to experience the full benefits of sleeping on pure bamboo materials, you will want to find a sheet set that has a bamboo percentage of 70% or more. Next, you will decide on the thickness of the material in the sheet set, a number measured by the grams per square meter. If you have trouble staying cool while sleeping, a lightweight GSM of 150 or less would be a good choice. A heavyweight GSM of 350 or higher may work for you if you have trouble staying warm. If you fall somewhere in the middle or are unsure what GSM is best for you, the mid-range of 150-200 GSM would be suitable for standard body temperature regulation. The next consideration is the thread count. The materials created from the long fibers of bamboo create an ultrasoft, durable fabric, so a thread count of 250-300 in a bamboo sheet set is equal to any luxurious bed sheet set with a thread count of over 1000. Since most organic bamboo sheets typically have a 300-thread count, a 250-300 thread count is an ideal range. The next consideration is choosing between a sateen or twill weave. Sateen is a satin-type weave that is silky and cool to the touch, so if you prefer a smooth, cooling sheet set, sateen would be a great choice. Twill weave is thicker, so if you prefer a soft sheet without the silkiness, twill would be a better choice. Cost is the last consideration and will vary depending on your choices to match your sleep patterns. Cream bed sheet sets cost anywhere between $50-$300, but you should be able to find a quality bamboo sheet between $50-$100. Keep in mind as you set a budget that you spend one-third of your life sleeping, so any investment to increase the quality and comfort of your rest is always beneficial to your health and well-being.
