Sol Organics was established in 2010 with the aim of producing eco-friendly textiles using organic cotton while ensuring equality for all employees. They found an amazing factory in India that carried certifications including FLO, GOTS, Oeko Tex and Fair Trade, and they use 100% organic long-staple cotton, grown from non-GMO cottonseeds, with a commitment to better farming practices that reduce their carbon footprint, conserve and protect drinking water, and keep everyone safe from harmful chemicals.

Sol Organics are a bit of a newcomer in this category, going up against the decades of experience and strong reputations of Holy Lamb Organics, Coyuchi, and Rawganique. Still, if you’re looking for fairly inexpensive organic cotton sheets in a variety of colors, Sol Organics are a good option.

Coyuchi Organic Linen Bed Sheets

Leaf Score:

Highlight: Best linen bed sheets.

Coyuchi’s organic linen bed sheets (View Price on Amazon) are a close runner-up in a gaggle of products earning 5/5 leaves. Why? Because linen sheets are just a delight to sleep on and Coyuchi have been industry leaders in organic bedding in the US for more than two decades.

Coyuchi work hard to create beautiful, sustainable sheets, duvets, pillows, towels, robes, and more, and they produce their goods using a zero-waste water recycling method and are generally committed to sustainable practices.

Coyuchi offer a range of organic sheets, but the linen are my favorite. These Organic Relaxed Linen Sheets are GOTS certified and are made in Portugal with linen woven from French flax, organically grown and processed using water-saving traditional methods. Yarns are dyed using low-impact dyes for color that’s kind to the planet and to sensitive skin.

As with all flax sheets, these will get softer with each wash and are durable. They will help you stay cool and dry in summer and cozy and warm in winter. The sheet set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet and set of 2 pillowcases (Twin sheet set only includes 1 pillowcase). The pillowcases and flat sheet feature a decorative stitch.

Rawganique’s organic cotton sheets are soft, smooth, and silky and are increasingly used by eco hotels because of their quality. If you like traditional cotton sheets, these are the ones for you.

For a number of years, Rawganique only offered Euro-Luxury organic cotton sheets made in Europe under strict environmental conditions, despite wanting to make their sheets in the US. After figuring out how to do this ethically and sustainably, while achieving the quality for which they are known, Rawganique once again offer organic cotton sheets manufactured in a US mill.

Rawganique Organic Linen Sheets

If you like a little texture in your sheets, go for Rawganique’s linen or hemp sheets instead of cotton. These organic linen sheets are unbleached, undyed, and completely natural. They have a finely textured, crisp, and smooth feel, like traditional ultra-fine linens are supposed to.

Rawganique recommend that anyone new to linens buy a pillowcase and sleep on it, wash it, and then buy a set once you realize how much you love it.

If you’re looking for a little color, try the Hemp Chambray Bed Sheets. These are made in-house at the Rawganique Atelier in Europe from organically grown European hemp and organic cotton chambray. They are available undyed, unbleached, in natural, and color-grown sage and earth brown.

Rawganique also offer handmade custom pillowcases in organic cotton, linen, and hemp, made at their Denman Island Atelier in Canada.
