Invest in a set of top-quality organic sheets, and you'll sleep better knowing your bedding is free from harsh chemicals. Before you consider any of the certifications that bedding companies offer with their finished goods, it's important to prioritize your sleeping style. "It starts with texture, goes down to temperature, and then what you’re comfortable supporting or looking for in how the good is made," says Anna Brakefield, co-founder of Red Land Cotton. "There’s so much more to consider when looking at sustainability and creating a more greener, and ethically produced product, especially when looking at the bedding market."
We sent organic sheets from the most popular bedding brands to our team of product testers, who washed, ironed, and slept on them for over three weeks. Our favorite set, the Avocado Suvin Organic Cotton Sheets, are GOTS certified—made with 100 percent organic Indian Suvin cotton—and offer a unique, luxury feel.

GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified
Extra-high thread count
Softens with washing
Expensive
Limited color choices
Made from 100 percent Indian Suvin cotton, this luxurious Organic Superfine Suvin Sheet Set from Avocado is actually GOTS certified, meaning it passed a series of rigorous criteria that ensures the organic state of textiles through environmental and socially responsible manufacturing. It combines all of the eco-friendly perks of GOTS and OEKO-TEK Standard 100 materials with the soft, lustrous feel of quality sateen sheets.
The sheet set is available in two thread counts: 600 or 1,000. The extra-long staple cotton sheets have a sateen finish and they're extremely soft, silky, and durable. Plus, they become even softer with each wash. They'll only get better with wear and regular washings.
Take note that the sheet set is available in white, natural, or gray for all standard bed sizes. Each set includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (except for Twin and Twin XL sizes, which come with one pillowcase). You can also choose either a 600 or 1,000 thread count for your set.

Crisp percale weave

Highly durable
GOTS and Fair Trade certified
Wrinkle after washing
While a bit more expensive, you also can’t go wrong with the PB Classic Organic Percale Sheet Set, which delivers a luxurious sleep experience. These sheets are made from 100 percent GOTS-certified organic cotton, and the fabric is a crisp percale weave with a 400-thread count.
These PB Classic Sheets include a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (twin sets only have one pillowcase), and you can choose from six plain colors. The fitted sheet fits mattresses up to 16 inches deep, and the percale construction makes the linens crisp and breathable—perfect for summer. One of the biggest perks? These sheets stay cool. As our tester noted, "Each night, these sheets felt cool to the touch but were also comfortable and inviting."
Our tester also loved how high-quality and durable these sheets were (both categories got a 5/5 stars), but their wrinkly appearance—particularly after washing—left her a bit disappointed. Like many other options on this list, the fabric in these sheets is Fair Trade Certified, meaning it’s produced in factories that use fair and safe labor practices.

Coyuchi
Soft, relaxed percale weave
Broken in feel
Durable double seam construction
GOTS, Fair Trade, and Made Safe certified
Crinkled appearance can look wrinkled
Don't let the name fool you—these Organic Crinkled Sheets from Coyuchi are undeniably soft and comfortable. The crinkled effect comes from applying proprietary spinning and weaving to organic cotton to produce a washed fabric exclusive to the brand. Unlike other sheets, these come out of the box ready to jump into without necessarily wrinkles (just crinkles).
In addition to their softness, these organic cotton sheets also stand out as cool and breathable. "These sheets are nice quality," our tester noted. "They're a bit heavier in weight but breathable and stayed cool." You'll be comfortable in this set on both warm and cold nights.
The texture and thick materials earned high points from our tester, who deemed them high quality. The double seamed edge adds to this luxurious look. Choose from ten attractive colors from classic white to deep oranges and greens. Another plus of this set, the sheets are GOTS, Fair Trade, Benefits 1% For the Planet, and MADE SAFE certified, so you can feel good about where your materials come from.

Silky smooth texture
Fits 15-inch mattresses
GOTS and Fair Trade certified
Not highly breathable
Too warm for hot weather
Some of the best organic sheets you can buy are the Magnolia Organics Dream Collection Sheet Set. These linens are made from Global Organic Textile Standard, certified organic cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides. Additionally, they’re manufactured according to Fair Trade Standards, as well. The fabric has a smooth, silky sateen construction with a 300 thread count, making them luxurious and soft to sleep in every night.
Our tester found these to have a luxe feel and a heavy weight that's perfect for cooler months. The fabric drapes well, so it contours to your body for a cozy night of sleep. However, it may prove to be a bit too cozy for hot sleepers—our tester took off a point for breathability because of how hot these sheets could get, particularly when layered under other linens.
This sheet set comes in six delicate colors, and each set can fit on taller mattresses. According to our tester, "With deep, 15-inch pockets and elastic in all four corners, Magnolia Organics’ fitted sheet is designed to fit snugly over mattresses and stay in place. We found that this feature was indeed effective, with the fitted sheet remaining snug over the mattress corners even after several nights of sleep."

How We Tested the Sheets
Over 3+ weeks, our team of testers used some of the top organic sheet options on the market. They slept with them in their own homes and laundered them to see how they held up with time, then ranked them on quality, texture, durability, breathability, and value. We combined their insights with our writers' and editors' independent research to bring you this list.
What to Look for in an Organic Sheet Set
Third-Party Certifications
The most-discussed factor when it comes to buying organic sheets is whether a set has third-party certifications confirming that it’s organic or pesticide-free. Anna Brakefield, co-founder of Red Land Cotton, advises consumers that are interested in purchasing sheets with organic certifications should also look into how the fabrics are made and what practices specific brands use for finishing and sizing sheets. Finished goods listed as "Made with organic..." are only required to have at 70 percent certified organic materials.
Look for the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification to ensure that the material used is organic, was processed without pesticides or herbicides, and was manufactured in an ethical environment. Another common certification is from OEKO-TEX, which evaluates the toxicity of the end product.
"OEKO-TEX stays up to date on scientific, health, and technical information, updates its criteria annually, monitors for regulatory compliance, and uses the strictest standards and methods to test and verify claims," says North American GOTS representative, Lori Wyman. "For this reason, checking for our labels is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to assure that the product you’re purchasing is safe."
Our top pick, the Bampure 100 Percent Organic Bamboo Sheets, for example, is constructed with OEKO-certified fabrics.
Fiber Material
If you want an organic sheet set, pay attention to its material. Cotton organic sheets are very common, but you may also see bamboo, linen, and silk. Microfiber, however, doesn’t make the list, since this polyester-based textile is processed with plastics and chemicals that don’t belong in organic sheets.
Weave
The Bampure sheets are made from a super soft sateen weave that our testers loved. However, there are quite a few different weaves you can shop, according to your preference.
"While both are made from cotton, percale, and sateen offer slightly different feels and finishes based on how the materials are weaved," explains Ruthie Osswald, Senior Associate of Design and Product Development at Brooklinen. "Percale is a traditional one-yarn-over and one-yarn-under weave that creates a matte finish and cooling feel, while sateen is a one-yarn-under and three-yarn-over weave that is more tightly woven and heavier in weight, making for a silkier, smoother feel and slightly warmer finish."
Jersey sheets are cozy and great for chilly weather; linen sheets tend to have a rougher weave but many people like the natural feeling.

What are organic sheets?
Organic sheets are sheets made without chemical additives. Buying organic bedding ensures no pesticides, chemical fabric treatments, or harsh cleaning agents are used to manufacture the product. Many organic sheets also include certifications to back up these claims, like OEKO-TEK Standard 100, GOTS, and MADE SAFE certification.
-
How do you wash organic sheets?
Wash organic sheets separate from your other laundry, and run them through a gentle cycle with cool or cold water. Follow the care instructions printed on the label of your sheets. Be cautious about using harsh cleaning solutions, like bleach, on organic sheets.
-
Why should you buy organic sheets?
Because organic sheets are free from harmful additives, they are considered hypoallergenic and gentle on your skin. Their production process is also much more environmentally friendly than that of non-organic sheets. These sheet sets can also be colored with lower-impact dyes gentle on sensitive skin.
