'Bamboo has similar benefits to sateen,' says Bed, Bath & Beyond. 'It provides a silky smooth sensation and tends to be cooler to the touch than cotton. However, bamboo tends to be more expensive and requires more careful cleaning.'
To choose bedsheets that won't pill, you have to pay attention to the quality of the fabric as well as the construction of the sheet. Look for bedsheets with a high thread count, as this indicates a tighter weave and helps prevent pilling. Also consider the ply count of the fabric, which refers to the number of yarns that are twisted together to form a single thread. Single-layer fabrics are generally smoother and less prone to pilling than multi-layer fabrics.
