The most important thing to remember when styling a room is that the space should be a reflection of both your vibe and your values. And that's true when it comes to decorating your bedroom too. After all, your bedroom is your sanctuary and your creative cocoon, not just a place to close your eyes. In a world full of minimalism and neutral color palettes, it might not be that easy, but your search for eco-friendly products that actually look like you ends here.
Let's talk about eco-friendly bed sheets, or rather, let's talk about finding cotton bedding that's not only sustainable and ethically made, but is also cute enough to deserve a permanent spot on your grid. After all, the easiest way to make a big impact in your bedroom decor is just be changing your sheets!
You’ve probably been frustrated by the lack of personality in sustainable bedding. Neutral on neutral on beige isn’t your thing. You want something bold, artistic, and thoughtfully made. Something that says, this is me.
So, what are some eco-friendly options for bed sheets?
Let’s break it down. Here are a few choices that check the right boxes (and then some):
100% Organic Cotton Sheets
11thHour’s signature bed sheets (organic cotton) are made from 100% organic cotton sheets, ethically manufactured in a GOTS-certified facility. That means no harmful chemicals, ethical labor practices, and a fully transparent supply chain.
But here’s what really makes our cotton bedding sets standout from the rest:
We've hit the sweet spot where sustainability meets self-expression. Each print is licensed from an independent artists, so your bed isn't just supporting you with a comfortable night's sleep and a great decor moment, it's supporting an artist too. Think bold, expressive patterns that turn your bedding into a statement piece.
Because caring about sustainability goes beyond just caring for the planet: it's caring about each other and our community too.
Our top picks for 100% cotton bed sheets:
- Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet in Zodiac This fitted cotton sheet is perfect for when you want to have some fun with your bedding but aren't ready to go full maximalist design. 100% cotton is anti-bacterial and breathable, meaning you won't wake up covered in sweat but its silky-smooth texture will have you sleeping ever-so-peacefully.
- Cotton Sateen Duvet Bundle in Kaleidoscope If you're looking for a statement, but not necessarily ready to mix-and-match, our duvet bundle in kaleidoscope is the answer! This print is so fun without being too out there, but will cover up any pet hair you've been wanting to hide!
Why you'll love them:
-
GOTS + OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified (aka safe for you and the planet)
-
Ultra-soft, breathable fabric perfect for hot summer nights or cozy mornings in
-
Every purchase comes with an opportunity to recycle your old sheets (or towels) with the 11thHour Recycling program. Because being low-impact is important to us!
Bamboo Lyocell Sheets
Bamboo sheets have gained popularity for their softness and sustainability, especially when made using a closed-loop process like lyocell. They're biodegradable, breathable, and require less water than traditional cotton.
Bamboo sheets have recently gained popularity for their softness and sustainability, but beware! There is a lot (and we mean a lot) of greenwashing when it comes to bamboo, so make sure you understand the nuances here: bamboo in and of itself is a sustainable, renewable material, however, the way it's processed to become a textile actually makes it not sustainable. You want to look for bamboo lyocell specifically (not bamboo viscose or rayon which are semi-synthetics created using toxic chemicals... i.e. bad for you and the planet).
Hemp Linen Sheets
Hemp is naturally resistant to pests, requires minimal water, and grows quickly. It’s actually one of the most sustainable textiles available!
However, unlike cotton, hemp sheets tend to have a rougher texture (similar to linen). Hemp sheets will soften up over time, though and their eco-cred is hard to ignore.
Tencel Modal Sheets
Derived from sustainably harvested beech trees, Tencel Modal is silky-soft and ideal for sleepers who run hot. It’s an eco-friendly material, often OEKO-Tex certified, and has a luxe drape.
Again, these lean minimalist in aesthetic, but they’re a solid option if you’re mixing neutral basics with one or two standout pieces (like our Cotton Sateen Pillowcase Set in Zodiac or our Cotton Sateen Duvet Cover in Kaleidoscope)!
