We’ve done the homework for you and rounded up over thirty bedding brands that offer high quality sheets, comforters and other bedding products that are ethically produced using natural and organic fabrics. So you can sleep easy knowing your bedding is as safe and cozy as it feels!

Why Buy Natural & Organic Bedding?
It always pains me to say that many of the products we buy for our homes and lives are not as safe as we think they are – either for our health or for the environment. This is even true of something as basic as the bed sheets you go to sleep with every night.
From a health perspective, your bed sheets may contain residues from harmful chemicals like pesticides, dyes, formaldehyde, phthalates and more. Some sheets are even infused with chemicals to make them wrinkle resistant or stain resistant. I bet you’d rather not have those things touching your skin!
From an environmental perspective, your bedding may be a huge resource hog and involve environmentally destructive processes. Conventional cotton uses up 30% of the world’s pesticides and the chemicals used to process and finish it adds to the problem. Polyester is a type of plastic that comes from petroleum, a non-renewable resource.
From a social good perspective, your sheets may have been produced using child labor or in a factory with unhealthy working conditions for its employees. Yeah, not something pleasant to think about, but it’s important to look for ethical bedding.
Natural and organic bedding is an important part of creating a healthy, non-toxic environment in your bedroom. Along with a non-toxic mattress (read more about how to buy a mattress and the best non-toxic mattress brands) and fresh, purified air in your bedroom, your eco-friendly bedding will set you up for a healthy night’s sleep.
Take a look at some of the pros and cons of organic bedding vs. synthetic bedding:
| PROS | CONS | |
| Organic Bedding | produced without pesticides or chemical coatings | can be more expensive |
| typically higher quality | watch out for greenwashing (look for certifications) | |
| longer lasting bedding | ||
| fabric is softer; more breathable and comfortable | ||
| Synthetic Bedding | can be less expensive | may contain chemical residues |
| readily available in stores | fabric is not breathable | |
| petroleum is a non-renewable resource | ||
| often less durable |
Natural & Organic Fabrics for Organic Bed Sheets
These are the sustainable fabrics to look for in your organic sheets and bedding:
- Organic cotton: Certified organic cotton is grown without pesticides and using sustainable farming practices.
- Bamboo: Bamboo grows without pesticides and is a renewable resource that grows extremely quickly (up to 4 feet per day!)
- Viscose is the type of fabric produced from bamboo. It does involve resources and chemicals to manufacture, but care is taken to produce it in a sustainable manner. Look for viscose from bamboo that has been produced in a closed-loop process (which reuses water and chemicals used to process the bamboo).
- Bamboo is grown naturally, without pesticides, but it can not be certified organic. Look for Oeko-Tex certification for bamboo sheets.
- Eucalyptus: Sustainable eucalyptus fiber is used to create Tencel lyocell fabric. Similar to bamboo, eucalyptus fabric can not be certified organic but is grown without pesticides.
- Organic wool: Certified organic wool is used in blankets and fillings for comforters
Certifications for Natural and Organic Sheets and Bedding
Since most sheets and bedding do not go through any special testing for safety or evaluations of environmental or social impact, it’s important to look for independent certifications to guide you to the best bedding choices. Here are some certifications to look for:
- Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) – Internationally recognized as the toughest organic textile standard because it goes beyond verifying the organic farming process to include every step of manufacturing. Products must contain at least 95% organic fiber, use non-toxic dyes and not be treated with bleach, formaldehyde or any other toxic substances. Strict social and environmental standards are also required.
- OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 – A comprehensive, third-party testing and certification system for textile products at all stages of production. All components of a product are required to be free from a variety of harmful substances including formaldehyde, banned colourants, pesticides, heavy metals and more.
- MADE SAFE – A certification that ensures products are non-toxic. Products are screened for a wide range of toxins including behavioral toxins, carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and more. In addition, MADE SAFE goes above and beyond by lab-testing products for safety.
- GreenGuard Gold – Provides assurance that products designed for use in indoor spaces meet strict chemical emissions limits. Gold certification considers safety factors to account for sensitive individuals, such as children and the elderly.
- Fair Trade Certified – A product certification that promotes equitable trade practices, working with farms and factories around the world to empower workers and improve wages, benefits and conditions.
Best Bedding Brands for Natural and Organic Sheets

In order to do a proper review of the best organic sheets, I received some product samples to check them out!
But more than simply sleeping on these sheets, I did a lot of research to find out more about these brands – how the products are made, the certifications they have, and their commitment to making safe and eco-friendly products.
First a few notes:
- Most sheets are made overseas, not in the U.S. (I’m guessing for cost reasons.)
- It is recommended to wash all new bedding prior to first use – which helps relax the fibers for a softer feel.
- Cold water washing is better for the environment and has been shown to be just as effective as hot water for cleaning clothes.
- Most sheet sets include a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and a set of pillow cases.
All of these organic bedding brands are made with natural fibers (most are certified organic) and other organic materials and produced without any harsh chemicals.
Coyuchi
Coyuchi makes thoughtfully designed bed, bath and home textiles that are both friendly to people and the planet.

- Cotton sheets are available in percale, sateen, jersey and flannel fabrics and organic linen sheets are also available
- Certifications: GOTS, MADE SAFE, Fair Trade Certified
- My take: I received samples of Coyuchi organic cotton sheets and a lovely duvet cover. The sheets are 200 thread count and are very well made. The nature inspired print is beautiful – by far the prettiest sheets I own! (shown in the top image in this post but this exact style is no longer available) The duvet cover is made from woven fabric that feels like a blanket yet is backed with organic cotton percale, so you can use it with or without a top sheet.

Do you have any favorite certified organic bedding? Let me know in the comments!
I don’t do anything specific.
We have not done anything yet to change our bedroom to eco friendly! Sheets would be the first thing I think we should change, as well as the pillows.
I run an air purifier in my room.
I was careful in choosing my new mattress because I wanted one without toxins.
i run an air purifier cause we have allergies and i run an oil diffuser and i wash the sheets every friday or sunday and thats it
We make our own soaps for washing our sheets and clothing.
we use an air purifier
Love all this info about organic options! I have a latext bed that came with organic sheets I love, but they will eventually need replacing… looking forward to trying some of these!
I love my parachute sheets that are oeko-tex certified and super soft! My favorite is changing the sheets before bed then snuggling in with them all warm. I’d love to try some of these other brands too!
We run an air purifier, humidifier, and use organic cotton sheets. And we have laminate flooring instead of carpet.
I used to friendly fabrics in my bed sheets a d washing them with natural soap
I wash my sheets every week with organic soap,vacum the matress regular.
I have never thought about it until recently about going eco-friendly.
I wash my bedding in eco friendly soap – Ive never tried organic bedding, would love to!
I recently steered using a diffuser & next time I need sheets I’ll go with organic.
I have been looking at organic sheets but currently don’t do anything to make it eco-friendly.
I guess my skin has become more sensitive as I’ve aged because I can’t take the heavily perfumed detergents anymore. I use cotton sheets (I haven’t tried bamboo yet) and I use detergents without perfumes, etc.
We use dryer balls and eco friendly products to clean.
Working on this but we do wash on cold!
I use non-toxic cleaning supplies.
We’ve started using organic sheets, although I would be interested in trying a new brand, and looking to replace my kid’s sheets. We are due for a new mattress in the next year or so, and have been researching more eco-friendly options.
Really like HAPPSY with pillow top. Also bought a Birch queen mattress. A little firmer than we’re used to but happy about non-toxic piece!
We have a Happsy mattress too – it’s awesome! Not familiar with the Birch brand of mattresses.
Ouch! The cost of many of those sheet sets are beyond my budget! I do buy organic cotton but did not check further than that for fair trade, etc. Definitely something I can do for next time. I do look for bamboo but usually too expensive. I shop at Winners in Canada.
I have several plants in my bedroom and led light bulbs in the lamps
I have added a plant or two to our room, but I want to also get organic sheets!
I have a natural latex topper on my bed and currently have the Threshold brand sheets from Target – they are super soft! I’ll have to check out the other brands. And I’m looking forward to getting a completely non-toxic mattress in a few years.
To be honest, I haven’t given much thought to the linens in my bedroom. These sheets would be a great place to start!
Thank you for this! Especially for noting the Target price point!!!
Great post! We are upgrading to a king size bed soon, so I’ll have to refer back to this post when it comes time to buy bedding. Thanks!
We have a few sets of organic sheets from Target. Also use allergy mattress protectors that zip and seal the non organic mattresses in. Unfortunately non toxic mattresses and most bedding are too expensive for us to afford.
Make sure stacks of papers don’t accumulate on my nightstand or piles of laundry on my chair. I am ruthless about what enters my room and organize what’s there. Recycle unnecessary papers. Donate unwanted or unused clothing. Give away excess bedding, too – homeless shelters are in need of gently used pillows, blankets, and sheets.
We switched to kapok pillows last year.
Happy to know there are options for my price point!
We just got our first organic sheets last year and I fell i. Love. Would love to try another brand.
I don’t really do anything eco-friendly but if there is any tips I wouldn’t mind reading and learning about it.
I use non toxic cleaners and removed the carpeting in my bedroom.
We run a air purifier in our room and have no carpets I have allergies so we try and use organic in our room but it can be very costly .
I try to use natural cleaning products and natural materials lie cotton
I try to leave the window open on nice days, and keep plants in my bedroom to freshen the air.
I have an air purifier that I use in the bedroom.
I run an air purifier, am working on decluttering, and buying 100% natural fiber textiles that can be recycled.
I try to follow a minimalist design and avoid introducing any chemicals.

I use all natural cleaning products and candles!

We use an air purifier and essential oils for aromatherapy and cleaning.
We buy organic when it’s in our budget and 2nd hand when it isn’t.
We use non-toxic cleaning products and do not have carpet in our bedroom.
I only use natural fabrics on my bed and try to hang them dry whenever possible. No fabric softeners!!! (this was a big argument between the man and I, I swear he was addicted to Downy)
I look for recommendations from influencers and my friends and family about what they buy and stuff.
We use an air purifier in the room.
test comment
We are very minimalistic and try ensure that the products we buy are environmentally friendly, sustainable and something I am comfortable having my kids around!
We have an air purifier set up!
I use non toxic cleaners and dust with a washcloth and water so the dust does not spread
We use an air filter and use green methods to clean.
We stick with natural products as much as possible, and have lots of houseplants to work as natural air purifiers.
For years I’ve done my best to only purchase eco-friendly fabrics to wear on my body and use throughout my home. I switch between using hemp, linen and organic cotton sheets/bedding. I also run an air purifier and use eco-friendly products to wash all fabrics.
We use a humidifer in our bedroom.
For the Environment and my family’s safety keeping our health from from deterioration. Love being Eco friendly!
I run a humidifier and I clean with eco friendly supplies.
We make our own cleaning products as well as use non-toxic chemicals when we wash.
I would love to try out organic sheets for my bed! They sound like they would be a very nice wedding gift as well. We have some friends getting married in January.
I clean most of my house using lemon and vinegar.
We don’t really do anything :/
To make my bedroom non-toxic and eco-friendly, I use incandescent lightbulbs and have tile as my floor covering.
Switched to organic stuff for my home, and that includes bed sheets. I already have the bamboo sheets that I got from an online store. It’s not just organic, but really really comfy as well!!
That’s great! I love bamboo sheets too!
I love parachute bedding and towels!
Good to know!
Do you have any suggestions for kid friendly blankets/comforters? They have threshold sheets and right use just a blanket, but I want to get more of a bed set…but it’s hard to find fun prints in good bedding
Hmmm…I need to do some more research on this – but you check out Garnet Hill and The Company Store and search for organic kids bedding. Best of luck!
It would be nice if the list of brands is updated on a periodic basis. I recently used a brand called The Organic Factor and the bedding range is lovely.
best
I do update this post occasionally as I learn about new bedding. Just added Aizome bedding!
Why is West Elm crossed out> thank you
the link is fixed now
Just an update, the Target queen set by Threshhold is $65 not $49.
Also, I don’t buy sets, and know others who don’t, so it would be great to know which seller sells individual sheets.
Thanks!
