Benefits of Sleeping on Organic & Sustainable Bedding

1. Organic & sustainable bedding is the healthiest bedding. 


As clean beauty products have dominated the skincare market, there is an acknowledgment that what we put on our skin can have as much of an effect on health as the food we put in our bodies. Our skin is our largest organ after all. Therefore, the fabrics that we put on our skin matter. 


Opting for organic, sustainably produced textiles has massive benefits for your health. For instance, sustainable materials like organic cotton are much better for those with sensitive skin and allergies because of their lack of harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic fibers also create moisture wicking fabric. 


A commitment to sustainable fabrics that directly touch our skin through clothing made of organic fibers and organic towels, make a difference, but it is essential not to skimp on the quality of your bedding. Consider that as human beings we spend almost a third of our lives sleeping. This 33% should be spent in healthy, organic linens without added chemicals and pesticides.


2. Luxurious sustainable bedding is durable and long-lasting  


Luxury sustainable bedding is built to last. The long-staple cotton used by luxury bedding brands is much stronger and more durable than the short-staple cotton used in lower-quality products. Like the emerging "slow fashion" trend, buying quality luxury bedding that lasts will help you reduce consumption and save money in the long run. Even when you do decide it's time for new bedding, natural materials like 100% organic cotton, cashmere, alpaca, and down are completely biodegradable.


3. Sustainable bedding means sustainable  for the people who make the bedding and sustainable for the future


True sustainability requires decent working conditions and ethical production processes. When you shop sustainably, you can rest easy knowing that your luxury bedding was ethically produced. For instance sustainable bedding luxury brands like Coyuchi and SAVED New York have a strong emphasis on following Fair Trade PracticesSleep on sustainable bedding and a good night of sleep is guaranteed.

1. Coyuchi Bedding: The Gold Standard for Organic Cotton Sheets and Sutainable Bedding

Forbes describes Coyuchi bedding as a "leader in sustainable initiatives." Lauded as one of the first companies to sell certified organic cotton bedding, the sustainable luxury bedding brand has gained acclaim for its superior quality and understated nature-inspired design. 


The linen bedding look is high quality and beautiful. Founded in 1991 in Point Reyes, California, Coyuchi became the first company to create a full circle recycled blanket. This blanket is made from recycled cotton reclaimed from customers in a closed loop system. All of their bedding is OEKO Tex certified.


The luxury linens brand Coyuchi is loved by critics like Jordan White of The Quality Edit who writes that the product is "genuinely worth every penny" for the quality and commitment to last. Coyuchi sustainable bedding even received a mention on SNL's Cut for Time: The Holiday Gig Episode featuring Eddie Murphy, Kenan Thompson, and Kyle Mooney. Coyuchi's organic sheets and sustainable bedding sets are certainly something to write home about. Feel the difference with Coyuchi's sustainable fitted sheets, flat sheets, sustainable duvet covers, and sustainable blankets.

2. Alicia Adams Alpaca: The Absolute Softest Alpaca Throws and Decorative Pillows

Alpaca has been called "the most sustainable material in the world." Alpaca's classification as a renewable resource and its positive economic impacts in Peru make the fiber a leader in the realm of sustainable bedding. 


Alicia Adams Alpaca's 100% baby alpaca throws and pillow shams are produced with fibers harvested from their alpaca farm in the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York. The business is family-run and utilizes Peruvian artisans to actively support artisan families and their communities in Peru.

3. Shop SAVED New York for Ethical Textile Production with Flair

Saved New York also relies on sustainable materials and fair trade practices to produce gorgeous sustainable bedding. The brand founded by Brooklyn-based artist Sean McNanney boasts hand-crafted bedding made of sustainably sourced Mongolian cashmere, yak down, and camel hair


A common misconception about sustainable bedding is that it must have a "natural" flaxen look and come in only neutral tones. SAVED New York proves that this is not the case. Classic fun pieces like the gorgeous Mustard Tiger Rug Throw by Saved New York demonstrate that sustainable bedding can be luxurious with impeccable design details. 


The Saved NY's Array Cashmere Throws are color blocked in the style of Rothko featuring throws in bright colors such as Coral Red, Sky Blue, Cobalt Blue, and more subdued tones like Grey and Taupe. These gorgeous throws show that sustainable bedding can be used to add color and elevated design to your eco-friendly home.
