Hi,

Greetings to you!

According to Salesforce doc:

Visualforce pages always display with the standard Lightning Experience user interface when they run in Lightning Experience. There’s no way to suppress or alter the Lightning Experience header or sidebar. In particular, the showHeader and sidebar attributes of <apex:page> have no effect on Visualforce pages when displayed in Lightning Experience.

This behavior is intentional. Apps that display in Lightning Experience are Lightning Experience apps. If you need to provide a completely custom interface for your app, you’ll need to run it in Salesforce Classic.

sidebar: A Boolean value that specifies whether the standard Salesforce sidebar is included in the page. If true, the sidebar is displayed. If not specified, this value defaults to true.
Note: In Lightning Experience and the Salesforce app the value of this attribute is overridden, and is always false.

Please refer to the below link which might help you further.
