The Best Organic, Non-Toxic Comforters

As parent to a tiny toddler, I know how important a good night’s rest is for mental and physical health. And few things in life are better than curling up under a cozy comforter for a good night’s sleep.

What if your duvet is off-gassing toxic chemicals, though, or is the result of animal cruelty and child labor?

Sadly, most duvets are the stuff of environmental and ethical nightmares, filled with petroleum-based polyester or forcibly plucked feathers sterilized with formaldehyde. 

The comforters below are genuinely sustainable, made by companies that care, using safe, non-toxic, and mostly certified organic materials.

Not sure how to choose a new duvet? Learn more at the following pages:

• Fill power, tog, weight, warmth, and loft
• Quilting and quality
• What to think about when choosing a new duvet

You’ll also want to think carefully about the natural materials that make up your comforter or duvet. These affect how it feels, the weight and warmth, duvet care and maintenance, and how long it is likely to last.

Here are my top picks for eco-friendly, non-toxic, safe and sustainable duvets and comforters.

Avocado shakes up the duvet sector with its Peruvian alpaca wool duvet insert. The wool comes from free-range alpaca sheared once a year by traditional farmers to keep the alpacas happy and healthy.

For vegans tempted by a wool duvet, this is as good as it gets.

Avocado offers its alpaca duvet insert in two weights: all-season and lightweight. The duvet is spot-clean only.

Avocado is one of our favorite companies at Leaf Score because the award-winning B Corp makes super sustainable products we’ve tried and tested. Pair this duvet with Avocado’s Green Pillow (see our review) for a great night’s sleep!

Savvy Rest carries a lot of green certifications for its Organic Wool Duvet Insert. Made in the U.S. using up to 6 lbs. of organic New Zealand wool, the duvet insert has a GOTS cotton sateen cover and measures about 1.5 inches thick.

This duvet is ideal for year-round use in slightly cooler locations or if you sleep cold. You may find it too heavy if you’re a hot sleeper or live somewhere very warm.

Savvy Rest makes its comforters in the U.S. in a GOTS certified facility under fair working conditions. The comforter typically ships within 7 days.

Note that Savvy Rest doesn’t accept returns on its duvets. The company is a B Corp and employee-owned, though, and has a solid track record of donating to eco-friendly and charitable initiatives.

Materials: Certified organic merino wool and cotton

Price: $149-$349

Sizes available: Crib, Twin, Full/Queen, King

Weight: All-season (430 gsm)

Certifications: GOTS materials, GOTS facilities

Gorgeous, affordable, and certified organic, Sleep & Beyond’s MyMerino Comforter clocks in at a heavyweight 430 gsm of organic merino wool.

If you like things cozy, this comforter has you covered.

That said, because wool helps with thermoregulation, you can also use this duvet insert all year round. S&B also offers a lighter version of this comforter, which you can read more about here.

We love the box-stitching on this comforter as it helps to prevent the merino from moving around and clumping together.

Rawganique makes its Virginia Comforter by hand in the U.S. using GOTS wool and GOTS cotton. It’s a great weight for spring, summer, and fall, and all year round in more temperate climates.

Smart quilting helps keep the fill in place and the serged edges and carded pure wool keep things fluffy and lofty for good insulation and a cozy bedroom aesthetic.

Expect your comforter to ship within 7-10 days as each one is made to order.

PlushBeds Natural Luxury Handmade Wool Comforter is lightweight but suitable for year-round use in most places.

This comforter has a GOTS certified organic cotton cover and EcoWool fill. That means the wool is sourced in the U.S. from farms with more sustainable and sheep-friendly practices. The wool is free of harsh chemicals or cleaning agents and is hand-tufted and stitched carefully into the 344 thread count cotton case.

Because each wool comforter is made to order, you can’t return it unless there is a manufacturing defect. Nother that the warranty lasts just 30 days though, so check your duvet when it arrives!

Obasan offers two wool comforters, with the Mid-Weight Comforter a great choice for most folks all year round. This comforter has 350 gsm of organic wool (twice that of Obasan’s lightweight comforter) and has wooden toggles at the corners, so you can attach it to other duvet inserts for extra warmth when the mercury drops. Careful quilting keeps the batting in place.

Obasan makes these comforters to order but has some in process most of the time. That means you can expect yours to ship in just 2-4 days. The company operates out of a carbon neutral workshop in Canada and this comforter is GOTS certified.

Holy Lamb Organics offers a lot of wool comforters, but we like the All-Season Comforter for its design and overall economy. Sure, it’s pricey on the face of things, but this duvet is actually two comforters in one.

Separate out the two layers for two summer duvets or lightweight year-round duvets to pair with other blankets (or put back together with the handy ties) when winter rolls around.

HLO avoids plastic packaging and uses sustainable, reusable bags and boxes instead. If you want plastic packaging though, let the company know and it can work out something to give your duvet extra protection in transit..

The Best Organic Cotton Comforters

At a glance:

Materials: Certified organic cotton

Price: $210-$260

Sizes available: Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/Cali King

Weight: Midweight

Certifications: GOTS, Fair Trade, Carbon Neutral

PACT’s Quilted Comforter is a dream to sleep under in summer and, now fall has rolled around, is also proving great for layering in cooler weather where I live in the Pacific Northwest. Made with certified organic cotton fill and an organic cotton sateen cover, this comforter has a relaxed, modern aesthetic that also works with a more traditional style.

The comforter is available in five colors and three sizes (I got the Ochre and it’s gorgeous!). It is machine washable with cold water and can be tumble dried on low. PACT also recommends washing the comforter before first use, for extra softness and a good fit if you’re using a duvet cover.

PACT also makes a crinkle comforter using organic cotton. However, the crinkle design appears to be less robust than the quilted option and isn’t machine washable.

PACT offers a 60-Day return policy, no questions asked.

Materials: Organic cotton

Weight: All-season

Certifications: None

Rawganique is a perennial favorite at Leaf Score and offers a fantastic handmade organic cotton comforter that is perfectly suited for year-round use. It’s a little pricier than Coyuchi’s comforter but it is made in the U.S. from U.S.-grown cotton, making it more sustainable and eco-friendly.

That said, Rawganique doesn’t carry a GOTS or Made Safe certification for this comforter, unlike Coyuchi. There’s only organic cotton here, though. This includes the organic cotton cover, wadding, and the thread used to sew it together.

The fill is a single layer of hand-carded organic cotton batting quilted to a soft, smooth, organic cotton fabric casing. It is warm, cozy, and breathable and easy to pair with a blanket for especially cold nights.

Rawganique deliberately makes its Organic Cotton Comforter to fit snugly in a duvet cover. This helps prevent it from moving around and bunching and gives it more loft overall. Unfortunately, you can’t wash this organic cotton duvet in a machine. Instead, you’ll want to air out your duvet for a few hours every month or so.

Rawganique tries to ship plastic-free but also knows that some folks with MCS prefer sealed plastic packaging. For packaging requests, contact Rawganique when making your order.

At a glance:

Materials: GOTS organic cotton

Price: $298-$378

Sizes available: Twin, Full/Queen, King

Weight: 360 gsm (lightweight)

Certifications: GOTS, Fair Trade, MadeSafe, 1% for the Planet

Coyuchi’s Diamond-Stitched Organic Cotton Comforter is a fantastic sustainable, eco-friendly, non-toxic duvet. Coyuchi makes the comforter in India using 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The comforter is available in alpine white, undyed, steel blue, and ginger, and in three sizes: Twin, Full/Queen, and King size.

This comforter features 360 GSM organic cotton batting for year-round use. The comforter is encased in Coyuchi’s signature Crinkled Percale fabric and has a half-inch binding all around, keeping the comforter tidy but with a relaxed drape. We love that it has corner loops to anchor to a duvet cover, but it also works well as a stand-alone comforter.

Coyuchi sends the comforter plastic-free in a reusable organic cotton bag. The organic cotton is grown and woven in India and is GOTS and Fair Trade Certified. Coyuchi is also a 1% for the Planet member.

You can wash this comforter in the machine, assuming the drum is big enough, and you can machine dry it on low. Because the colors are solid, the comforter is also reversible. It’s also easy to spot clean with a little water and mild soap as needed. Coyuchi offers a 1-year warranty on this comforter for manufacturing defects.

The Best Bamboo Linen Comforters

At a glance:

Materials: Lyocell bamboo, hemp

Price: $369-$399

Sizes available: Full/Queen, King/Cali King

Weight: Lightweight

Certifications: Oeko-Tex 100

ettitude takes the idea of linen and spins it on its head with this coverlet made with 70% lyocell bamboo and 30% hemp fibers. The blend makes for a soft, durable, machine washable, less wrinkly look and feel.

The coverlet, AKA a comforter, has a weight of 250 GSM, making it suitable for summer and warmer spring and fall nights. You’ll want to layer it with a blanket or other bedding for winter, if you live somewhere cold, or if you like things really cozy.

Hemp and bamboo are naturally both antimicrobial, though you’ll still want to wash this comforter on occasion. Thankfully, the comforter can handle washing in a machine with cold water on a gentle setting. Tumble dry the comforter on low or line dry.

The comforter comes pre-washed in a reusable drawstring bag for convenient storage. ettitude makes the bag from its fabric scraps as part of its goal of being zero-waste.

How we chose our top picks for eco-friendly duvets

As far as possible, the products we recommend at Leaf Score are those we’ve tried and tested ourselves. These products make the cut because they’re safe and sustainable and comprise natural materials that we actually want in our homes for our own families.

We also favor companies that show a commitment to environmentally friendly manufacturing practices, charitable enterprise, and a triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit.

To help us identify which companies are doing things better, we look for duvets that carry credible green certifications. We also look for companies that:

• Are Benefit Corporations (B Corps)
• Are Fair Trade Certified™
• Adhere to Nest standards
• Take part in other third-party certification programs
• Only sell sustainable, no-toxic products (not just a token organic duvet).

Because I’m a skeptic at heart, I always check that any certifications are valid and current. And I go beyond just checking for green certs and nerd out with sustainability reports and other company info to form a wider view of how a brand approaches eco-friendly practices.
