These Organic Sheets Fit Every Budget and Will Level Up Your Bedtime
If you’re in the market for new bed linens, choosing organic sheets is a great option. The type of sheets contains a bevy of benefits—even more, organic cotton sheets are a good choice for people with sensitive skin, as it is not processed or treated with harsh chemicals or detergents (colorants/dyes), says Mona Gohara, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine and Prevention Medical Review Board member.
“For example, [organic sheets] are not treated with wrinkle-resistant chemicals such as formaldehyde which can be a skin sensitizer—this makes the risk of irritation less,” she says.
Meet the experts: Mona Gohara, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine and Prevention Medical Review Board member, and Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research and associate professor of dermatology at The Mount Sinai Hospital.
The sheets you sleep on can have a significant impact on the skin, says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research and associate professor of dermatology at The Mount Sinai Hospital. “Especially if you have sensitive skin conditions, like eczema, or are concerned with premature aging.”
Organic sheets also tend to be more breathable, says Dr. Gohara, as opposed to synthetics. They also “do not trap in heat, so you will be less hot/sweaty, and less likely to inflame your skin.”
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. We’ve also highlighted the best organic sheets for every budget and for every kind of bed you might prefer—so everyone can rest easy. Whether you’re a hot sleeper and need cooling sheets or you’re looking for a warm flannel option for winter, we have a pick perfect for you.

$189.99
This set from Delilah Home proves that you can find high-quality organic sheets without breaking the bank. For less than $200, this brand is GOTS certified and offers all the standard sizes you may need, as well as a few basic color choices. And if you’re the kind of sleeper who likes to skip the top sheet, this pick also offers the option to purchase the fitted sheet and pillowcases separately.
In Good Housekeeping Institute Textile Lab tests, these sheets stood out among other organic styles. Testing showed that the soft fabric was strong and had minimal pilling—even after an abrasion tester rubbed swatches together 1,000 times. The Lab did note that the fabric had some creasing after washing with a bit of shrinkage. Ultimately, it was liked by testers for its lightweight feel and smooth texture.

Saatva

$235.00
If you’re hoping to prioritize smooth and soft texture over cool and crisp material, sateen cotton is the way to go. Keep in mind, sateen is usually not ideal for hot sleepers, but reviewers contest that no breathability has been sacrificed for a softer texture. Saatva also backs each purchase with a 45-night sleep trial and a 1-year warranty against structural defects. This brand is also a favorite of Dr. Gohara’s, who recommends their organic cotton sheets “especially for people with sensitive skin.”

7) Organic Linen Sheets
Avocado

$389.00
Although this pick is on the pricier side, you do get what you pay for. Linen fibers make for a highly breathable, absorbent, and fast-drying material, making it ideal for bedding. And even though the fabric is coarser than cotton, it only gets better, and softer with every wash, per the brand. One satisfied customer writes: “These are our first actual linen sheets. We were hesitant to buy them since we had always used cotton sheets before. These sheets are the most comfortable we have ever slept in. We love them. Every night I tell my wife that these were worth every penny.”

The Good Housekeeping Institute’s Textile Lab reported that these sheets were strong and shrink-resistant in tests. Testing did find that it pilled more than similar sheets they tested. Some testers found the flat sheet oversized compared to their usual sheets.
