Let’s Stay In Bed: 7 Sustainable Bedding Brands
THAT MAKE SLEEP A DREAM
By Natalie Folchi
According to the NY Post, the average person spends 36 years in bed over the course of a lifetime. With nearly a third of your life spent between the sheets, high-quality bedding is essential.
Long gone are the days of scratchy cotton sheets, linens and washcloths made using harmful chemicals. Instead, we’re turning to sustainable, beautifully-designed bedding, linen and towels.
From innovative antimicrobial fabrics to soft organic cotton and cooling linen, these 7 sustainable brands are changing the game.
SOL ORGANICS
Soft, cloud-like organic cotton at an affordable price
SOL Organics’ quality-made sateen and percale sheet bundles are made from 100% organic and fair-trade-certified cotton without the use of pesticides and herbicides. And, as an added bonus, their selection of products are affordable, so you can make a purchase decision that’s good for the environment, your health and your wallet.
Sustainable Practices:

Like SOL Organics, Under the Canopy believes sustainable home products should be accessible, not a luxury -- and we couldn’t agree more.
