How to Shop for Organic Bedding – And the Brands You Can Trust Not to Greenwash

The best organic bedding is better for your body and for the environment. When you opt for organic cotton, bamboo, or latex over polyester and microfiber, you're choosing to protect your skin from cheap, synthetic materials and the planet from harsher manufacturing impacts.

But organic bedding is also easily one of the most misunderstood categories in home shopping – and one of the easiest places to be misled. The very meaning of 'organic bedding' is often clouded by concerns about greenwashing, confusion over certifications, and uncertainty about a brand’s true ethical intent. And, with organic bedding almost always costing more than conventional alternatives, it's important to make sure that what you're shopping is truly organic.
