What to look for in organic sheets
Organic means many things. It is often used to confirm that food has been grown without pesticides and toxic chemicals and has no things like growth hormones or GMOs, in order to label it as organic food. For bed linen, it should mean that both organic materials have been used to make the tissue – no toxic pesticides used in agriculture, etc. – and that have been organically produced with non -toxic chemicals.
We advise you to demonstrate at least two certifications. Most of the sheets have a global certification of organic textiles (Gots) to certify that the material of origin is organic (it will say cotton cultivated organically, for example, but it should have a certification to support it), and usually you will see an oeko-text or a safe certification certification that the certified certification that the process to make them was a safe and non-toxic. If you see only an Oeko-Tex certification, this means that they have been produced organically, but not of organically origin. It is more likely that you see a single Oeko-Tex certification than any other, which is still a good certification, but not enough to be a completely organic sheet of bed.
Is it the same as ecological? It depends on what it means ecological for you. Some processes are more ecological, such as the Lyocell process on Nylon and Rayon based on chemical production, but the production of anything has costs on the planet. These organic certifications usually confirm only toxicity and chemicals included, not necessarily the amount of waste remained or if chemicals can be reused.
Honorable mentions
There are many fantastic organic sheets out there. Here are some other organic bed linen sets that we have tested and appreciated.
Boll & Branch Signature Foglio set for $ 279: Boll & Branch signature sheets use GOTS certified cotton and you have an Oeko-Tex certification. These sheets also level the Satenen plot from a model of three on one to a four model. I tested the testurized strips motif, which I still felt breathable even with the heaviest plot, although not soft like a normal Sateni sheet as it had the extra plot.
Coyuchi flannel sheets for $ 278: These organic bed sheets are fantastic and soft and are made with 100 % certified organic cotton (with the exception of strips motif, which uses a recycled cotton mix and GOTS certified cotton). The Flamella of Boll & Branch is a little softer, but Coyuchi’s sheets are a little cheaper if you want to save some money.
Ettuttus Luxe Cleanbamboo Sateen+ sheets for $ 400: The bamboo sheets of Luxe of Ettude promise that they are organic ecocert and use 100 % FSC certified bamboo and are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. I found them a little heavy for my tastes as hot sleepers, but they are an incredibly soft and silky set that is organic.
Not entirely organic
Avocado natural linen sheets for $ 549: These linen sheets are some of the heaviest and most expensive we have tried. These linen sheets will probably last many years, thanks to the heavy weight, and will become softer at each wash. These sheets were previously certified Gots, but now they are only Oeko-Tex certificates, which is why they are not a choice. Avocado no longer lists them for this.
Cotogne apple bamboo card set for $ 130: These bamboo sheets at affordable prices of metogna claim to use the viscose 100 % from organic bamboo, but have only an Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification which does not show that no toxic chemicals have been used, not the source of bamboo itself. I am a nice and nice set, but they do not have all the certifications we are looking for in organic sheets. We contacted the apple to ask if they have certifications to demonstrate that bamboo is organic.
Sheatheen Sheet for $ 100: Similar to the bamboo set, these sheets are marketed as 100 % bamboo but have only an Oeko-Tex certification, which only confirms that chemicals are not toxic. We contacted the apple to ask if they have certifications to demonstrate that cotton is organic.
