ettitude vs Quince Bamboo Sheets: Which Is Right for You?

Is Quince bamboo lyocell or viscose?

Viscose. Quince's Bamboo Sheet Set is 100% bamboo viscose. ettitude's Signature Sateen sheets are made from bamboo lyocell, not bamboo viscose (rayon): CleanBamboo® lyocell, produced using a patented process in a closed-loop system that recovers 98% of the water and organic solvent for reuse.

Quince's product page lists the fabric content as "100% viscose from organic bamboo," and its sheets collection page lists the material as bamboo viscose. US fiber labels on ettitude's Signature Sateen sheets read "lyocell made from bamboo."

TL;DR: Is ettitude or Quince better?

They're made from different fibers and sold at very different prices. A Quince queen set costs $134. An ettitude Signature Sateen queen set costs $359.

Lyocell is spun using NMMO, an organic solvent, instead of the carbon disulfide used to make viscose.

Choose Quince if price and a long return window matter most. Choose ettitude if you want to know how your sheets are made and see the proof: third-party lab results against a leading bamboo viscose sheet, Certified B Corp status, more than $600,000 given through 1% for the Planet, and STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, SH025 285270 TESTEX. Product Class I, its most stringent class: independently tested against a list of over 1,000 harmful substances. ettitude's queen fitted sheet is also a little deeper, and ettitude makes a second line, Luxe, in Peru.

How is each fiber made?

Bamboo viscose and bamboo lyocell can start from the same plant. What separates them is the chemistry used to turn bamboo pulp into fiber.

In our closed-loop process, 98% of the water and organic solvent is recovered, separated back into clean water and solvent, and reused, up to 200 times.

Quince's product page doesn't describe how its viscose is made. Its sustainability page says, "We partner with factories who have a commitment to responsible production," without naming a standard or audit.

Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, which the FTC enforces, fabric made from bamboo through a chemical process has to be labeled by its real fiber, such as "rayon made from bamboo" or "lyocell made from bamboo."

Which is better for hot sleepers?

Both brands say their sheets sleep cool. Quince says its fibers "regulate temperature for year-round comfort" and are "moisture-wicking" and "cool to the touch." Its product page doesn't cite a test for those claims.

ettitude's Signature Sateen is cool to the touch, temperature regulating and breathable by design. Here's the test behind it:

In third-party lab testing on unwashed fabric (Intertek, 2022), ettitude Signature Sateen was cooler to the touch, wicked moisture faster and resisted pilling better than a leading bamboo viscose sateen sheet and a leading eucalyptus lyocell sateen sheet: 13% and 7% higher Q-max cool-touch scores, 43% and 47% faster wicking over 30 minutes (AATCC 197), and a pilling grade of 4.5 vs 4.0 for both (ASTM D3512, where 5 means no pilling). Quince's sheets were not part of that test.

Which has stronger certifications?

Product safety: STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®

Both sheet sets carry STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, an independent certification that tests textiles for harmful substances, and both brands publish a certificate number. The difference is the class.

ettitude's sheets carry STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, SH025 285270 TESTEX. Product Class I, its most stringent class: independently tested against a list of over 1,000 harmful substances (www.oeko-tex.com/standard100).

Quince lists "STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certificate SHHO 093346" and doesn't state the product class on its product page.

Company certifications and giving

ettitude is a certified B Corp since 2022. Recertified in Aug 2024 with a score of 123.3, up from 102 at first certification. Next recertification 2027.

Quince's product and sustainability pages don't list a company-level certification or a giving commitment.

Claims you'll see on bamboo sheets, and the ones we don't make

Bamboo bedding is full of big words. Here's how to read a few of them, and where we draw the line. This isn't a knock on anyone's sheets. It's the standard we hold our own copy to: if we can't name the test, we don't make the claim.

"Organic bamboo." Quince's product page shows an "Organic" icon and describes its sheets as "100% viscose from organic bamboo," without naming a certifier. Here's what to know. On a bamboo sheet, "organic" is a claim about how the bamboo was grown, not about the chemistry that turns it into fiber. GOTS certifies textiles made with at least 70% certified organic natural fibers, so a 100% viscose or lyocell sheet can't qualify. An organic claim for bamboo needs a certificate trail from the farm through every step of production. If a brand can't name that certificate, treat "organic" as unverified.
"Hypoallergenic" and "resists bacteria and allergens." Quince's page shows a "Hypoallergenic" icon and says its fibers are "naturally resisting odors, bacteria, and allergens" and "ideal for sensitive skin," without citing a test. We don't use "hypoallergenic" or make skin claims. What we can show is this: Certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, independently tested for allergenic dyes and harmful substances.
"Antibacterial" and "antimicrobial." We don't use either word for our sheets. When we share a lab result, we name the lab, the year, the method and the fabric tested, and we're clear that it's a result for the fabric, not a health claim.
Pilling. We give you a number instead of a promise: a pilling grade of 4.5 out of 5 in the Intertek test above.

Where does Quince come out ahead?

On price, clearly, and on the return window. A Quince queen set is $134 against $359 for ettitude, and it comes with 365-day returns. If budget is what matters most, Quince is the better buy.
