What is the best material for sheets to keep you cool reddit

What is the best bed sheets material? I know 100% cotton (egyptian or pima preferably) is good, but, bamboo seems to have more advantages (antibacterial, moisture wicking, better for envir., etc)... How does it compare in durability and softness?

I can find only one company making bamboo "lyocell" bed sheets, its in australia and pretty expensive: ettitude 100% bamboo lyocell bed sheets Is it worth the price? does it last much longer than regular bamboo viscose / rayon? or egyptian cotton?

How does eucalyptus / tencel compare in all this? ...

Thx!

Note: Im in canada, so, it gets cold, and also hot sometimes. I like to sleep cool, but not cold.

Howdy. I've been trying to find sheets for sweaty sleepers (me) but can only really find ones for hot sleepers. That may seem like it's the same thing but for me, it's not. I've been getting really sweaty at night due to hormones but I'm not hot. Most of the time I'm actually pretty cool, and so I turn into a clammy sticky creature who just wants to be warm and not drenched in puberty musk. I got pure cotton sheets hoping that it would help but, while a lot more comfortable than my previous bedding, still left me in a pool, trying to drag my damp but cold foot out from under the blankets as it tries to hold me there. I'm leaning sweat wicking, but a lot of them state they are cooling sheets as well, meant to keep you cool, and I don't want that, I'm already cold.

So here I am, hoping someone knows some brand or type or something that would help me with my problem. Price is middle of the road. I'm not looking for luxury, and am not wanting to spend over 100$ on a fitted sheet and sheet.

Thanks in advance :)

Pecale is the weave type that is the strongest. It is also the coolest weave type. So you should plant your flag with this metric.

Breathable is moisture vapor transmission which can be found ranked on this chart: https://html.scirp.org/file/_5-2160130_3.htm with Ramie being the leader followed by Hemp then Banana. Good luck finding those fabrics though.

Strength is a harder metric but I think its OK to point to left field and say cotton from this chart: https://html.scirp.org/file/_5-2160130_5.htm though do keep in mind that strength is complicated...as a fabric cotton leads, but as a thread hemp and ramie lead.

You should set your give a damn meter to zero on the topic of thread count. Anyone who mentions it is an idiot as there is no ISO thread standard for sheets. Heck even the charts above are slightly inaccurate due to this as you can see on this chart: https://html.scirp.org/file/_5-2160130_2.htm

And if you are after cooling sheets, rely on data as people suck with temperature metrics. My wife keeps the house at 0 Degrees Kelvin at all times. She is a horrible person to ask about hot/cold and most people online are the same....rely on data...which I have nicely provided above though the study didn't go over all fabrics, what I have given you is data which a package insert or amazon blurb will not.

Eucalyptus - check out Sijo (that's the only brand Ive tried, and it's cheaper than most). Silk (22+ momme) - harder to care for and more expensive, tho-- I only have silk pillow cases but it's so cool.

I like my supima cotton, but I must admit it's not as cool as the eucalyptus or mulberrry silk esp since it's sateen weave. (Market for egyptian cotton is not as regulated, and real egyptain cotton (eg giza 45) is really expensive, so I would go with a high thread count pima or decent thread count supima.. and you would probably want to go with percale weave since it's more breathable, though sateen will be softer)

Edit: A lot of people say linen sleeps cool but I can't say from personal experience... I bought my first linen sheets which are otw, and was told to get stone washed linen since it will be softer than regular linen, though linen softens over time.

More than anything, I'd recommend trying the above fabrics from brands that allow free returns to see how you like it.
