7 Brands That Make Soft, Beautiful, and Eco-friendly Bedding

Your bed is an oasis. And whether you're spending more time in it lately or you still look forward to cozying up after a long day, your choice of bedding is a key part of a good night's sleep. And while there are tons of bedding brands out there, they don't all use eco-friendly and sustainably-sourced materials. Bedding made from bamboo or organic cotton, for example, can make less of an environmental impact and is still durable and soft-to-the-touch. We've rounded up seven brands that make high-quality, environmentally-friendly bedding, from soft sheet sets to plush duvets.

And when you're shopping for bedding with the environment in mind, there are a few terms you should know related to material certifications. First, you'll want to look for Oeko-Tex "Made In Green" certified materials. That means the textiles have been tested for harmful substances and have been manufactured in sustainable and socially responsible conditions. It's also worth keeping an eye out for products that are FSC-certified, which means they come from responsibly managed forests, according to the Forest Stewardship Council. Finally, if a brand claims to sell "organic" bedding, be on the lookout for a certification by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) to ensure your getting the best-quality and ethical products.
