As H&G's resident Sleep Editor, I'm often asked whether bamboo or Tencel makes a better material for bed sheets. I give a different answer each time, depending on who's asking.

Both bamboo and Tencel make great thermoregulators for hot sleepers and summer nights. As bed sheet types go, bamboo and Tencel are more sustainable, so they rank among the top choices for eco-conscious shoppers.
