I really, really love blankets. So, let’s be honest. I feel honored to write this article.
I hope that by sifting through my favorites, you’ll find your own new favorite. Read on to discover my picks for the best bamboo blankets.
Blankets. Beautiful cozy blankets. Is there anything better? Perhaps a beautiful blanket made of bamboo?
Bamboo is luxuriously soft.
Depending on the blend, I would compare the feel of bamboo fabric to silk, but without a sateen-like quality.
Bamboo fabric is moisture-wicking and very breathable. Two great qualities to have in the fabric on your bed. Especially when it’s for a blanket you plan on using nightly.

As something of a blanket connoisseur myself, I know there are many different kinds of blankets used for different purposes. You might want to keep different styles around your home. Some for part of your daily bedding, some for movie nights, etc.
I’d tell you my favorite on this list but truthfully I love them all in different ways. It just depends on which category you’re on the hunt to find.
Let’s get started.

If you’re wondering what makes a premium bamboo fabric so premium, it’s textile quality.

Cozy Earth has a great sub-section on their product page detailing their fabric’s quality. Simply put, it’s the best.
Cozy Earth sources from USDA Certified Organic Farms.
The company states, “Under our bedding, you sleep at least 50% less humid and 2-3 degrees cooler.”

Best Bamboo Cooling Blanket
It's great to have a cooling blanket on hand for hot summer months. You'll find this LUXOME cooling blanket useful.
In case you’ve never heard of a cooling blanket before, it regulates your body temperature. It prioritizes the breathability of its user to avoid and prevent overheating. Additionally, moisture-wicking properties help to reduce sweat.
If you’re someone who finds themselves waking up in a puddle of moisture, definitely look into bamboo cooling blankets. Starting to sleep with a cooling blanket should do wonders for regulating your sleeping temperature.
If you’re currently having night sweats, do a self-audit.
First, check to see what fabric your current blankets are made from. Read its label. Is there anything synthetic? If so, it could easily be the perpetrator.
Synthetic fabrics don’t make good cooling blankets because they suppress airflow.
Suppressed airflow often leads to night sweating. Over time, this could turn into bacteria growth.
Because bamboo is a naturally breathable fabric, bamboo reduces moisture.
In fact, bamboo is twice as moisture-wicking as cotton. That’s why bamboo makes for competitive high-end cooling blankets.
If you’re anything like me, you can’t sleep without a blanket. Even in the summer! For me, it’s a weight thing.
By the way, if you feel the same way, make sure you read on to learn more about my pick for the best weighted bamboo blanket!
Best Bamboo Swaddling Blanket
The Aden + Anais 3-Pack Silky Soft Indigo Swaddle Blanket in White is part of their silky soft collection–which means the fabric used to make these swaddling blankets is made of 100% viscose bamboo muslin.
These blankets are super soft, super lightweight, and just a little bit stretchy. Bamboo makes for a good swaddling blanket because it has 2x the moisture-wicking abilities that cotton has.
Each pack by Aden + Anais contains 3 muslin swaddles, each measuring 47” x 47”. All three bamboo swaddle blankets come with their own print variation in the colors of indigo and white.
Suitable for babies up to 10lbs and 24” tall.
Use it as a swaddling blanket, a nursing cover, and more.
Best Bamboo Weighted Blanket
The Luna Cooling Bamboo Weighted Blanket is 100% lyocell bamboo weighted blanket is awesome.
It gives you all the benefits of a regular weighted blanket, but because it’s made of bamboo, it doubles as a cooling blanket. If you’re like me and you require a blanket to grab onto at night (even when it’s hot outside), this is a great option for you!
(And if night sweating is a problem for you, check out the Best Bamboo Cooling Blanket featured in this list, no weight included.)
There are many health and mental health benefits to using weighted blankets. Some reviewers report finding the extra weight comforting. Luna’s product page claims that weighted blankets stimulate the release of serotonin (the happy hormone), increases melatonin (the sleep hormone), and reduces cortisol (the stress hormone).
Conclusion
Bamboo makes for amazing blankets and bedding.
If you’re into cooling blankets, bamboo is naturally thermoregulating and moisture-wicking. Boom, your night sweat problem is solved. Moisture-wicking will cut down on bad bacteria smells, too!
And if you’re looking for premium softness and a blanket of the highest quality, Cozy Earth has a few great selections to choose from across their entire product line. In particular, Cozy Earth’s bamboo throw is an excellent choice.
