Guides › Bedding & Sheets
You spend a third of your life against your sheets — and most “easy-care” sheets are polyester, i.e. plastic fiber shedding all night and every wash. Organic cotton, linen, and eucalyptus lyocell are the breathable, plastic-free swaps.
What to look out for: 100% cotton, linen, or TENCEL lyocell; “microfiber” and “wrinkle-free” usually mean polyester.
Quick answer: Our top pick for plastic-free & organic bedding is the Boll & Branch Signature Hemmed Sheet Set ($299.00). Best on a budget: the California Design Den Everyday Ease 400 Thread Count Sateen Sheet Set (Queen) ($47.59).

Often — easy-care and wrinkle-free usually mean polyester content or a chemical resin finish. Natural fibers wrinkle a little; that's the tell that they're natural.
No — lyocell is regenerated cellulose from wood pulp, closer to cotton than to polyester. It's one of the coolest-sleeping plastic-free options.
Fiber and weave. Inflated thread counts come from multi-ply yarns; a 200–400 count single-ply percale or sateen in cotton or linen beats a “1000-count” blend.
