Sustainable vegan bedding (and duck-friendly duvets!)
Dip & Doze offers quality organic cotton bedding sets to treat the planet and your skin kindly, helping to regulate temperature as you sleep. In a range of muted colours to match any bedroom design.
The duvet covers (and pillow cases) feature deep inner stop pockets, to prevent duvets poking out between the buttons (made from plastic-free corozo nuts).
And the hand size labels prevents putting bedding on the wrong way or on the wrong size bed.
Ethically made in India, the sets are sold in drawstring bags made from fabric waste. The bags can also be used to store shoes, toys or sewing kits.
What if the secret to your best night’s sleep isn’t a new mattress or a strict bedtime routine, but what’s touching your skin for eight hours a night? As we become more mindful of what we bring into our homes, our bedrooms are getting a green makeover.
Today, sustainable bedding is redefining cozy—proving that luxury, breathability, and eco-conscious living can peacefully coexist. Ready to transform your sleep sanctuary?
Organic bedding is free from fire-retardant chemicals, so it’s important (as with everyone) to follow common sense tips to keep safe. Avoid smoking, candles, overloading plugs (don’t leave phones or laptops on beds) and choose oil radiators over convector heaters.
Safe sleeping for babies
Lullaby Trust has info on sleeping for babies (avoid overheating with clothes, hats or blankets etc – read more on safe nurseries).
One blanket doubled over counts as two (this could increase overheating, so ensure they are lightweight). Air trapped between layers increases warmth.
The trust recommends indoor temperatures between 16°C and 20°C. Check a baby’s temperature on the chest or back.
Littleleaf organic cotton bedding sets
LittleLeaf Organic bedding sets include a sateen weave sheet and pillowcases, with matching duvet cover. All at fair prices.
Use code Naturally for an extra pair of pillowcases, for each set sold.
Making a wonderful housewarming treat, choose from many muted colours. The 300 thread count means this is luxury to sleep in too! Made with solar power, the sets are packaged in reusable organic cotton bags.
This brand also sells organic cotton pyjamas (pyjamas and robes with elasticated waists, adjustable drawstrings and coconut shell buttons, sold in organic cotton bags).
These materials cost a little more, but as the fibres aren’t treated by chemicals, they should last longer. And they safely launder without releasing microplastics from machines.
Comfortable pretty linen bedding sets
These linen duvet sets are sold in beautiful colours, plain or with pretty Pembroke-style stripes. Linen is a very comfortable material for bedding, that’s warm in winter and cool in summer. It also absorbs moisture well, so you retain a comfortable night’s sleep, even if you sweat a lot in bed.
Linen (along with cotton and hemp) are the best ‘natural fibres’ to use for bedding, as they don’t release microplastics (try to choose organic or recycled cotton, as conventional cotton uses pesticides). Linen comes from flaxseeds, so is more local (often grown in Europe) and uses less water than cotton.
Linen creases a bit, so just go with ‘crumpled bedding’, and site the bed away from strong sunlight, to avoid fading. Even better, you can safely wash linen, without releasing microplastics from the machine.
This linen is pre-washed for a fabric that should last around a third longer than cotton. Do not bleach fabric. Sold with a sets of matching pillowcases.
Launder with mild laundry powder, and wash inside out to protect surface fibres (avoid bleach or fabric conditioner). Line dry where possible, and smooth by hand or iron while still a little damp. Avoid sunlight to preserve colour (this may involve rearranging your bed, if it’s in a sunny room).
Amour Linen (sustainable bedlinen from Lithuania)
Amour Linen is a brand of beautiful and comfortable sustainable bedlinen from Lithuania, a hugely forested country in Eastern Europe, which is one of the main growing areas for linen, a comfortable fabric from the flax plant.
It is not only more local than cotton, but also uses far less water to grow. And gets better with age!
The range is extensive (just click the ‘bedding’ and ‘sheets’ menu in the left hand side of the shop. Choose from various styles and colours. It is more economical to buy whole bedding sets together, rather than separate sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases.
