We spend one-third of our lives sleeping between the sheets. At age 33, we have spent 11 of those years in a deep slumber. Quality sleep is one of the most important aspects of our lives and finding the right sheets are a critical part of that. Healthy sheets that envelop and help our bodies and the planet are a must. Regular conventional sheets are made from synthetic (fake) fabrics or genetically engineered cotton, known as the world's dirtiest crop due to its heavy use of toxins and the most hazardous pesticide to human and animal health.
All of the sheets and bedding listed here are beneficial to the environment and have a sustainable story to tell. Natural fibers feel soft and soothing to the touch and simply amazing, and all of it promises to promote better sleep...and whatever else may result when you lay between the sheets.
