Did you know that choosing sustainable bedding brands will help you sleep better?

A lot of the bedding available on the market is made of synthetic fibers or conventional cotton. While the latter might seem like a good alternative, conventional cotton is grown using a lot of water, pesticides, and other chemicals. Simply switching to organic cotton can save about 90% of the water required just to grow conventional cotton. Insane, right?!

From the price to the chemicals, buying new eco friendly bedding can be a nightmare, and shopping for a "natural" or "organic" one will definitely NOT have you sleeping easy.

In fact, it's one of the hardest areas in the home to green and that's thanks to a number of chemicals that are added to most bedding products. These include perfumes, flame retardants, toxic dyes, stain guards, and more.

Most of these substances are toxic to the planet and give off VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the air you breathe while you are sleeping. Um, NO!

But the good news is that I've curated the best, most sustainable, and eco-friendly bedding for you here. So go ahead and rest your head... Sustainable slumber is totally doable.

What criteria do we use when choosing eco friendly sustainable bedding?

So for bedding (just like I do for sustainable and ethical fashion), I consider the most and least sustainable fabrics and materials. From there, I identify the best brands possible based on their sourcing practices and corporate responsibility.

So whether I am looking for eco-friendly shower curtains, ethical pyjamas, sustainable jewelry, or ethical bedding, these criteria help me make informed decisions about the brands that I choose to share with you. And you can use them too to help make informed choices of your own.

1. What kinds of materials and fabrics are being used?

When looking for the best fabrics and materials, consider what the most sustainable options are and then look for certifications that can verify the product.

When it comes to sustainable bedding, ethical options mostly come in organic cotton, organic hemp, organic flannel, linen, and TENCEL™ Lyocell.

After considering the materials, you then want to look out for corresponding certifications like:

• Better Cotton Standard
• Bluesign
• Fair Trade
• Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
• Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
• Oeko-Tex 100
• Organic Content Standard (OCS)
• USDA-Certified Organic

2. Are the materials ethically sourced?

Sourcing also plays a key role when it comes to sustainable bedding, as it does with the sustainability of any product. In order to be sustainable, brands must ensure that sustainable practices and standards are upheld throughout their supply chain, all the way to the manufacturing processes and labor involved throughout their operations.

This includes how textiles are produced and manufactured, labor standards, and wages. Also considered are the certifications their products and factories carry, and the level of transparency surrounding their production.

3. What's the brand's corporate responsibility?

Finally, I consider corporate responsibility as it is a good way of knowing how committed companies are to sustainability. Generally, it refers to practices, policies, or initiatives aimed at improving the company’s social, economic, and environmental impact.

I look for initiatives like carbon offsets and plastic-free shipping for water conservation and employee welfare. It’s always better to support brands who are truly invested in providing all-around sustainably and ethically produced products where we can find them.

A final word on eco friendly sustainable bedding brands

If you’re looking to skip the synthetic fabrics and blends, harmful chemicals, and unethical practices, these sustainable bedding brands are here to help. From stone-washed linen and organic hemp to good old organic cotton or even organic flannel, I hope this will help you find healthier sleep, even if you opt to shop elsewhere.

And for more sustainable home goods and zero-waste must-have's make sure to take a quick peek at the brand directory.
