For summer, the best bedsheet fabrics are those that are breathable, moisture-wicking, and lightweight. Here are the top choices:
1. Cotton (especially percale weave)
-
Best Overall for Summer
-
Breathable, soft, and cool
-
Percale weave (a tight, matte weave) feels crisp and airy
-
Egyptian or long-staple cotton is especially luxurious
- Best for Hot and Humid Climates
- Gets softer with each wash
2. Linen
-
Excellent airflow and moisture-wicking
-
Gets softer with each wash
-
Naturally antimicrobial
-
Slightly rougher texture, which some people love and others don't
3. Bamboo (or bamboo-derived fabrics like viscose or lyocell)
-
Soft and Eco-Friendly
-
Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking
-
Feels cool to the touch
-
Often more sustainable than cotton
4. Tencel (Lyocell)

Recommendation: Go for 100% cotton Bedsheets or linen if you want the best cooling effect. Bamboo or Tencel sheets are a good middle ground if you want something soft and eco-friendly.
