Bring Slow Fashion to the Bedroom With Organic Bedding

More and more of today’s families are waking up to the health and environmental impacts of the products they bring into their homes, from the food they eat to the clothes they wear to the mattresses they sleep on every single night (up to a third of our human lives!). So, what about organic bedding?

Incorporating organic bedding into your designs gives you the opportunity to make aesthetic choices that honor your clients’ values and become functional elements of their daily lives. And what more is good home design if not creating spaces that look beautiful and work for your clients’ lifestyles?

Wondering where to start? That’s where Naturepedic comes in. As founders and leaders of the organic sleep revolution, we make bedding better. Here are our tips for elevating your designs with organic bedding to create bedrooms that your clients won’t just dream in – they’ll dream about. 

Why Organic Bedding Matters 

Organic bedding is more than just an aesthetic choice. It offers your clients a healthier way to sleep. It recognizes that the products we choose impact not just our homes, but our collective home. And, it ensures that the bedroom is a space that doesn’t just look good, but feels good.

Using Global Organic Textile Standard certified organic materials in bedding design leads to products that are: 

• Safer: GOTS certified organic products are made without chemical flame retardants, harsh dyes and other GOTS-prohibited substances. 
• Healthier: Organic products minimize your exposure to allergens and irritants to support better indoor air quality. 
• Sustainable: GOTS promotes manufacturing practices that are socially and environmentally more responsible. 
• Timeless: Organic fibers are stronger than synthetics, so when you choose heirloom products over fast-fashion designs, they look and feel better for longer.
• Temperature-Regulating: Organic fibers are also often more breathable and absorbent than synthetics, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.

Selecting the Right Bedding for Your Client’s Style

Here’s our guide to choosing the best organic bedding materials for any design aesthetic.

Organic Linen: Effortless Elegance

Linen is a perfect choice for a relaxed yet refined style. It has a soft, lived-in look and offers exceptional breathability for all-season temperature regulation.

Best for: Organic modern, coastal and European-inspired interiors. 

Organic Cotton Percale: Crisp and Cool 

Percale is what you think of when you imagine those crisp, luxury-hotel bed linens or a freshly ironed shirt. It’s also lightweight and breathable – perfect for warm sleepers but more tailored than linen.

Best for: Modern minimalist, transitional and boutique-inspired spaces. 

Organic Cotton Sateen: Smooth and Luxurious 

For a touch of elegance, sateen offers a soft-as-silk finish with a subtle sheen. It has a slightly heavier drape than cotton percale, adding warmth and coziness that looks and feels like luxury. 

Best for: High-end luxury, classic elegance and romantic aesthetics. 

Organic Cotton Muslin: Soft and Layerable

For a more relaxed, down-to-earth feel, muslin’s breathable weave offers an ultra-cozy, heritage look with a distinctive, crinkle texture. It’s perfect on its own – and a favorite for layering. 

Best for: Bohemian, farmhouse and cozy, layered designs. 

Organic Cotton Waffle: Textured and Inviting

Waffle weave’s plush yet breathable texture adds dimension and visual interest. The divot pattern creates airflow while offering the cozy plushness of a weighted blanket (without the weight!).

Best for: Japandi, Scandinavian and contemporary organic interiors.
