The Best Organic Sheets That You Can Feel Good About Buying

We updated this article in December 2022 to include new picks based on recent testing from the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab. Our new best overall organic sheets are from Delilah Home.

Choosing organic bed sheets when you're looking to purchase a new set is an easy step you can take towards living a more sustainable lifestyle. Natural fibers, like cotton, are often grown using pesticides and fertilizers that can be harmful to the farmers, workers, and wildlife in the area. Organic fibers, on the other hand, don't use synthetic treatments and actually require less water to grow. And since growing the organic fiber is only the first step in production, truly organic sheets often follow strict environmental standards throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab tests bed sheets of all kinds from cotton sheets (like percale and sateen) and linen sheets to silk sheets and flannel sheets to find the best sheets available. Our Lab analysts evaluate each sheet set for things like fabric strength, shrinkage after laundering, wrinkle-resistance and more. We also call in dozens of consumer testers to rate the softness of the fabrics in a blind comparison and have testers try out sheets in their homes for firsthand feedback on real-world use. The picks ahead are organic options from the top performers in our test, along with newer organic sheets from brands we trust. We've confirmed that all of these picks are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which has strict guidelines on things like the dyes and finishes throughout the production process.
