18 Best Eco-Friendly Bedding Brands You Can Feel Extra Good Snuggling In


When Queen Elizabeth decided to give Buckingham Palace a plastic detox, I realized it might be time for me to get truly serious about doing the same. In the 12 months since, I've been working hard to eradicate plastic from my apartment, use only the cleanest of cleaning products so as to avoid releasing ever-more toxins into the air, and take other such measures to protect myself and the environment.
As I audited my sustainable-home situation, however, I realized I'm still spending eight hours a night in cheap cotton sheets manufactured with more chemicals than conscience. (Cotton is one of the world's dirtiest crops!) To remedy the situation, I performed a deep dive into the best in eco-friendly bedding and found some truly innovative companies working hard to create cozy sheets, comforters, and more so that conscientious consumers can sleep soundly. Below are the best brands to keep in mind when shopping for sustainable, eco-friendly bedding and linens.

Coyuchi’s commitment doesn’t stop at production, either. The company works with eco-conscious shipping partners and endeavors to keep packaging as eco-friendly as possible, too.
