9 sustainable bedding buys to upgrade your bedroom into an eco-oasis

Eucalyptus Bedding Bundle | $224 for Queen at Sijo

Sijo's Eucalyptus bedding collection brings more than just a vegan option to the bedroom. Made of 100% eucalyptus lyocell, also known as Tencel, sourced in small batches from Austria,  Sijo's dreamy sheets feel like ultra-smooth silk, but better. The sheets are also extremely cooling, breathable, anti-microbial, hypoallergenic,  and thermal regulating, as well as gentle on hair and skin. We've never been more comfortable in bed. Compared to cotton, the production of eucalyptus fibers requires much less water and energy for production and is naturally soft to begin with. 

Sijo's Bedding Bundle includes a sheet set, with the option to add or skip the flat sheet, and a duvet cover for bed sizes twin through California King in eight colors. 

Resort Bamboo Bed Sheet | $239 for Queen at Cariloha

Cariloha's temperature-regulating viscose bamboo sheets offer year-round comfort to keep you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.  They're naturally moisture-wicking to keep you three degrees cooler than other non-bamboo fabrics.  

Cariloha's sheets are softer than a 1000-thread count Egyptian cotton sheet set, yet finished with a familiar sateen finish for the ultimate in cozy. Choose from eight colors in sizes Queen to Split King.  In addition to being an amazing material for your bed, Bamboo is beloved as an extremely renewable source, some species can grow four feet every day.  Plus, Cariloha's set is carbon neutral, and you can learn directly about their partnerships to offset production with each purchase. 

Company Conscious Down Duvet | $389 for Queen at The Company Store

The Company Store's newest Company Conscious collection is one of its most eco-friendly endeavors yet. They've taken their signature down comforter, blending traditional virgin down with recycled down to reduce waste, and added a Tencel Lyocell blend to its outer shell for additional breathable, absorbent, and temperature regulating properties. It's still the lofty and luxurious medium-weight comforter you expect, with the addition of ethically sourced materials that are kinder to the environment. 

In celebration of the new collection and Earth Day, through May 14, The Company Store will donate five trees for each TENCEL product sold in support of further sustainability efforts in partnership with nonprofit One Tree Planted. Want to take the sustainability efforts even further?

Signature Eyelet Sheet Set | $270 for Queen at Boll & Branch

Right in the middle of cozy and cool, Boll and Branch's signature sheets with a buttery-soft sateen feel get a detailed update with a hand-finished eyelet banding on the flat sheet and pillowcases. 

Boll and Branch work to meet the highest environmental standards, with Fair Trade, GOTS, and STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certifications. Their single-ply organic cotton hit all the right notes of being both lightweight and durable, soft and breathable. 

Organic Relaxed Linen Sheets| $548 for Queen at Coyuchi

Fans of linen sheets say that once you try linen, you'll never want to sleep on anything else ever again. Linen is beloved for being highly breathable and temperature regulating, for optimal year round comfort.

Coyuchi's organic linen is woven in Portugal from flax grown in France under sustainable farming methods, but since flax can only be planted once every seven years, its definitely on the more expensive spectrum. The final result is a durable and weighty 185 gsm, which is heavier than what you'd normally find on the market, and gets measurably softer with each wash.  

The Chambray weave lends to itself a casual, relaxed look, with its garment washed styling.  a robust color selection that uses low impact dyes, and a color-matched pick stitching creates a perfect, subtle detail. 

Hemp & Cotton Solid Duvet Cover & Shams | $319 for Queen at West Elm 

Forget everything you've ever thought about hemp textiles. West Elm's initial foray into the earth-friendly substance mixes hemp with a little bit of cotton for a bedding collection that is soft,  breathable, and truly West Elm's most eco-friendly option yet. The entire collection is treated with natural dyes and produced in a Fair Trade environment. The final product is reminiscent of linen, and the durable fibers only get better with use. Hemp is so appealing as a textile because it requires just a third of the land, water, and fertilizer that cotton does as well as regenerates at an astounding rate.  Start by trying out the duvet cover or go all with the best-selling hemp cotton sheet set.

The Buffy Breeze Comforter| $219 for Full/Queen at Buffy

Remember earlier how we enthused over the cooling properties of eucalyptus? If you sleep hot, you'll want to try Buffy's temperature regulating comforter which features both a eucalyptus fiber fill and a eucalyptus shell, making it an even better option than polyester down-filled comforters, which can leave you feeling hot and stuffy, and aren't all that great for the enviornment. To further it's commitment to the environment, Buffy is working on a closed-loop supply chain process to take back old Buffy products at the end of their lifespan to be turned into new ones. 

Alpaca Wool Throw | $149 at Avocado 

Lavish your home, ok, yourself with an elegant throw blanket made of naturally dyed Alpaca wool sourced sustainably in the Andes. Avocado notes that the blankets offer the texture of cashmere, the luster of silk, and the functionality of sheep’s wool for a design that is lightweight, temperature- and moisture-regulating, hypoallergenic, flame-resistant, and antimicrobial. Best of all, it's far from itchy, and will create a classic statement draped across the edge of your bed or on a lounge chair. 

Shredded Natural Latex Pillow | Was $99, now $79 at PlushBeds

The majority of the latex pillows we're familiar with are typically pretty firm, and bouncy, and more or less mimic a memory foam pillow, as opposed to a traditional down. PlushBeds has seemed to combine the best qualities of both with its GOLS-certified shredded natural latex pillow, which remains perfectly fluffed and lofty, and gives you that traditional pillow feel, while never clumping or going flat. You also have the ability to remove the fill to find the right loft height for your sleep style, making it a win for all types of sleepers.
