It’s hard to know what your SHEETS are made of

It doesn’t have to be.

ORGANIC ISN’T JUST FOR YOUR KITCHEN

Textiles without the toxic stuff

Organic cotton shows up in more places than you’d expect. Your sheets. Your favorite t-shirt. The towels in your bathroom. Even tampons, baby clothes, and the mattress you sleep on every night.

If it’s made with cotton, there’s probably an organic version out there—and it matters more than you might think.

No toxic synthetic pesticides

NO synthetic fertilizers

NO GMOS

NO Sewage sludge

Cotton that doesn’t cost the climate

Choosing organic cotton makes a real difference:

Safer for farming communities

Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically intensive crops on the planet. By skipping toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, organic cotton farming protects farmworkers and nearby communities from harmful chemical exposure. It also prevents contamination of local air, water, and soil—keeping ecosystems healthier for everyone.

Healthier soil and farms

Organic cotton farmers use practices like cover cropping and crop rotation to build soil health instead of depleting it. These methods increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and create farms that are more resilient to droughts and floods. It's farming that works with nature, not against it.

Climate benefits

Organic cotton production can dramatically shrink the climate footprint of your basics. Studies have found that using organic cotton and renewable energy instead of conventional methods cut global warming potential for a cotton T‑shirt by up to about 70%, while nearly halving impacts like water pollution and acidification.

By eliminating fossil‑fuel‑based synthetic fertilizers and focusing on soil‑building practices, organic cotton helps fight climate change while creating products you use every day.

BUILT DIFFERENT (AND WE CAN PROVE IT)

Choosing organic is a commitment

Most people don’t realize that “organic” cotton isn’t just about what happens on the farm. Look for the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, which verifies that the organic cotton-products you purchase were processed responsibly — no chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, toxic dyes, or harmful packaging. GOTS also requires fair labor practices and environmental accountability at every step.

SHOPPING FOR ORGANIC COTTON MADE SIMPLE

You don’t need to become a textile expert to make better choices. Just look for the organic options!

Whether you’re buying sheets, towels, clothing, or a new mattress, organic is your shortcut to cotton you can feel good about.
