If the average person sleeps for eight hours each night, at the end of a year we will have spent 2,920 hours under the covers. If we're going to spend all that time wrapped up in sheets, perhaps they should be of the organic variety. Check out a list of our top ten sources for organic bedding and get ready to sleep in carefree comfort.

Target has a good selection of organic cotton bedding as well.
I love organic bedding! Great picks. DwellStudio also has some nice eco-friendly bedding. Their sheets and duvet covers are made with environmentally friendly Oeko-Tex certified dyes.
We should strive for organic because it is better for the planet. Organic growing means the most to the people who live (and breath and drink water) near agricultural areas.
Unlike food (which still bears residue of non organic processes when it reaches the consumer), by the time bedding has gotten to the consumer, the fibers have been processed and washed a hundred ways to Sunday (also true of conventionally grown fibers). Getting organic bedding isn't likely to be better for you the consumer, but it is better for the environment in general and the people who live agricultural areas.
By all means, buy organic bedding. But don't be greenwashed into thinking it is better for you because you spend a lot of time in bed (mattresses are a slightly different story than sheets because foams off gass for a while...). Buy organic because it is better for the entire planet.
how is West Elm not on this list?
Very helpful list and comments, I'm moving soon and will be doing new bed and bedding and there's nothing organic out here in the middle of South Dakota! Would like to see reviews of the beds/bedding, maybe the sites themselves offer these?
I have a set of Dwell sheets for three years now and still look beautiful and so soft.
The set from Viva Terra literally fell a part in a year.
The Nest link for bedding looks very reasonable. Thanks.
Had had Gaiam's for severals years - poor quality really; switched to Coyuchi 2 years ago & happy so far with what I bought, but newer offerengs are somewhat dissapointing
I love the bench at the end of the bed in the picture. Does anyone know it's source?
Thanks for the add to the list AT! Target shows they have organic sheets, but I have seen them and they don't look/smell/feel like they are organic cotton, and they are from China. The sheets at our store, Nest Bedding, are USA made, USA grown cotton and can be purchased on our website as well as in our stores, and shipped anywhere in the USA.

Sorry, for the random url before, we at the organic bedroom ship anywhere in the US with pretty much all the top brands we are a small family owned company out of NC. I congratulate all the folks listed above and would love to work with folks on your bedding and mattress needs and who knows maybe one day we can be on the list:-)

I'm surprised Carolina Morning isn't listed here. They have some of the most unique items in bedding that I have found online, while still being refreshingly simple.
Here's their web address: http://zafu.net/
I don't think they sell sheets, but they do sell various wool/kapok/buckwheat-filled pillows, futons, and modular bed platforms, amongst other home goods (like modular desks, Japanese floor seating, and -- you guessed it -- zafus!).
My shop - Moss Envy (www.mossenvy.com) in Minneapolis, MN is the go-to natural/organic bedding resource in Northern Midwest! We've had folks from the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada travel to try out our selection of organic latex and inner-spring mattresses. If you don't live near a place to try one out and you're forced to buy it online, please give me a call and I will hold your hand through this process. My wife and I have logged days/weeks/months researching this industry and know it backwards and forwards! We have healthy bedroom options for babies, kids, and adults including "better for you" bedding, mattresses, and bed frames. Thanks Apartment Therapy for adding to the conversation when it comes to cleaning up your bedroom!
