23 Sustainable Bedding Brands (& Deals You Can Score On Them)

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a major shift in people’s attitudes towards sustainability. Our wardrobe choices are getting more conscious, our travel habits slower and “greener”,even our periods can be more planet-friendly. There’s always room to elevate an environmentally-mindful lifestyle, though, and what better way than with an at-home swap that begins long before you start your day and is so easy, you can do it with your eyes shut? Yes, we’re talking about bedding and organic mattresses. 

The rise in direct-to-consumer bedding brands not only translates to higher-quality goods for fairer prices, but also better environmental practices, from the softest sheet sets made with chemical- and cruelty-free manufacturing to partially biodegradable-fill comforters, certified-organic mattresses, fair-trade pillows, and beyond. In addition to premium eco-friendly products, many of these companies also partner with environmental protection groups to promote social action — whether it’s planting a tree per purchase, exploring cleaner energy options, or minimizing water consumption.

To help you on your sustainable sleep journey, we’ve rounded up the top eco-conscious companies that are redefining our concept of what the best sustainability-minded bedding and mattresses look and feel like — along with all the deals you can score. Plus, we’ve talked to the experts about how best to read through the greenwashing and distinguish the best of the bunch. 

Scroll ahead to take a proactive step toward a more eco-friendly life, starting from the comfort of your own bed.

Ashlee Piper, author of Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet understands how overwhelming mindful shopping can be, especially when there’s so much information out there. Her advice? Do your research and take your time. 
“I think of sustainability as more of a ‘choose your own adventure,’ rather than a hard-and-fast set of rules,” she says. “Not everything works for everyone, so you need to decide your priorities. Do you care about fabrication? Worker treatment? Manufacturing processes? All of these? Once you define your priorities, you can make more aligned, sustainable decisions that fit your life. Personally, I always look for items that are cruelty-free and vegan, are fair trade whenever possible, prioritize worker treatment and ownership options, and embrace innovative, low-impact manufacturing, like low-waste patterns and carbon-neutral factories.”

The first thing that Anna Turns, an environmental journalist and author of Go Toxic Free: Easy and Sustainable Ways to Reduce Chemical Pollution, looks for when shopping herself are reputable third-party certifications that assure you that brands comply with stringent sourcing and manufacturing practices, or that the materials they use comply with sustainable regulations. Many require periodic retesting, and, when brands have earned them, it means they’re really putting their money where their mouth is, and aren’t simply using greenwashing buzzwords to grab customers (especially ince terms like “sustainable,” “eco,” “green,” and “chemical-free” aren’t regulated). These kinds of verifications and information about brands’ materials and practices should be easy to find on their websites. If not, it may be that their sustainability claims haven’t been independently verified.

Certifications that Turns recommends looking for include:

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): The leading textile processing standard for organic fibers,GOTS considers the entire textile supply chain, including how the material is sourced, the factory and its manufacturing practices, and the finished product. GOTS-certified organic cotton is grown without synthetic insecticides, herbicides, or GMOs.

GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard): This certification is found in latex mattresses classified as organic. It means that the producers of the latex followed eco-friendly methods of deriving sap from rubber trees, and processed it in a way that was safe and organic.

Oeko-Tex: This certification is part of the International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile and Leather Ecology. It confirms the safety of textile and leather products at all stages of production, and sometimes attests to the social and environmental conditions of a product.

Made Safe: Made Safe is described as “the only human health and ecosystem-focused certification system.” Brands with the Made Safe verification mark are screened to make sure they have avoided over 6,500 banned or restricted substances.

GreenGuard: This certification marks low-chemical-emission products, compliance with key chemical emission standards, and a commitment to healthier manufacturing environments.

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC): A worldwide trusted label, this is a mark of sustainable forestry practices, environmental conservation, community rights, and a fair, equal work environment.

eco-INSTITUT Label: This is a laboratory-tested certification awarded to products deemed both low-pollutant and low-emission, and isused for the testing of mattresses.

Climate Neutral Certification: This certification means a company is accountable for its greenhouse gas emissions. To earn the label, they must annually measure “cradle-to-customer” emissions (from when a product is first made right up until it’s in the customer’s hands), implement specific action plans to reduce these emissions, and invest in high-quality, verified carbon credits.

Along with considering what materials the bedding is made of, Turns also says it’s crucial to consider “the entire lifecycle” of a product. How was it made? How is it packaged and shipped? How will it be disposed of? “True sustainability stems from designing out waste,” she says. 

Brands with a more sustainable “circular design philosophy” prioritize things like multi-use or recyclable packaging, work to offset their carbon footprint, offer a take-back system for old mattresses, or consider what will happen when a mattress is dismantled, and how the materials can be reused or recycled.

Of course, the most sustainable approach to bedding is to repair and re-use what you can. That can mean investing in quality, durable materials that will last you. Piper is a big fan of linen for this purpose. 

“Flax grows plentifully with little water, and linen has a fabulous lifespan that gets better with every wash and use,” she explains. “I mend my bedding when it gets little rips and tears. And when their use is exhausted as bedding, linen makes fabulous dishcloths and cleaning rags for around the house, and can be composted (if naturally dyed) when it’s totally threadbare.”
