The best cool bed sheets, according to experts
Bamboo sheets, that is. “Typically during the summer that’s all I sleep on since it can get pretty hot here in Reno. Bamboo sheets typically sleep cooler than sheets made out of silk, synthetic fibers and cotton,” says Matthew Ross, the co-founder of mattress review site The Slumber Yard, adding that they’re also “lightweight, soft and very comfortable.” Certified sleep coach Bill Fish of sleep resources site Tuck.
Even better: the price. “There’s little difference between budget brands and name brands,” says Ben Trapskin, founder of sleep information site Sleep Sherpa — so he says it’s fine to go with the budget sheets. You can score a set — like Cosy House Collection Luxury Bamboo Hypoallergenic Sheets, a budget pick that Ross recommends — for about $40. Here are a few bamboo sheet options.Ross recommends these sheets — which have more than 2,000 reviews on Amazon averaging 4.
Of course, not all experts are convinced that bamboo sheets are the way to go. Trapskin of Sleep Sherpa notes that while they “do tend to sleep cooler than cotton sheets,” he’s not a huge fan since they “have a tendency to pill” and they “aren’t really all that sustainable since there’s a lot of chemicals involved in creating the fiber.”
