Natural and Sustainable

Look for premium bedding made from environmentally friendly hand-picked certified organically grown cotton. Organic fabrics should be pre-shrunk and have eco-finishing which gives the bedding an exceptionally soft, inviting hand, natural opulence. Organic, natural bedding can come in Flannel, Percale, Damask Check, Damask Stripe, and Sateen. Some organic bedding comes in white and should be bleached with hydrogen peroxide and not chlorine. All the fabrics should be certified, 100% organically grown cotton. The thread count varies from 220 to 300.
