Sustainable Bed Sheets

I’m kind of picky about my bedding. I want it to be delightfully comfortable (warm/cool as needed) and I want it to be durable. We don’t own many sheet sets (really one set per season – flannel and a cotton set), so I need them to stand up to constant use and washing! And now I’m looking into sustainable bed sheets and brands before we buy bedding again.

Just like being interested in organic cotton over standard cotton and being attracted to anything OEKO-TEX, thinking about the sheets that we smother ourselves in every night for hours on end seems important.

They’re also an investment – for the amount of use and the cost – , so it’s rather a big decision in my book.

Sustainable Bed Sheets

When it comes to bed sheets, there are a slew of things to take into account. What materials are used? What dyes are/aren’t used? Where were they sheets made? Are the people making this product treated with respect.

You know as part of my approach to sustainable living, I encourage you not to find the perfect thing all the time. Start with the better thing – even if it’s only one aspect that’s better. Honestly, all our efforts to be better are what really makes a difference.

Below are a slew of brands, highlighting what each of them is doing well, and a small selection of products from each to help you see if their vibe and your vibe match up. Let’s be real, as much as we want it to be sustainable, you also need to love the product at the end of the day, so you’ll care for it and hold on to it as long as possible!
