So you’ve found the perfect organic pillow, but now you’re on the lookout for soft organic cotton pillow cases? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.

We spend half of our lives in bed, so you want to make sure the fabrics which come in contact with our skin are safe and free from harmful chemicals.

We’ve selected brands creating pillow cases from organic cotton and other soft and dreamy organic materials, including Eucalyptus, hemp, and bamboo, all of which are hypoallergenic, free from toxic chemicals, and suitable for sensitive skin.

In addition to being suitable for sensitive skin, organic cotton is a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cotton as it uses less water to grow (up to 91% less) and saves almost 50% in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to being more environmentally friendly, organic cotton is kinder to the skin and the planet. It is grown without harmful chemicals or pesticides, making it soft and smooth, even on sensitive skin.

So, let’s take a look at our recommendations below to find the perfect organic pillowcase.

When discussing organic cotton and other organic materials, it’s common to see many brands carrying certifications that ensure the fabric is organic. However, we commonly see these certifications abbreviated, and it can be not very clear to understand what they all mean.

We’ve highlighted the most common organic certifications below with a quick mean.

GOTS Certified: GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard. Products marked with the GOTS certification mean they are guaranteed at least 75% of fibers are from an organic source. If a product is GOTS Organic certified at least 95% of fibers must be of organic origin.

Fair Trade Certified: The Fair Trade Certification ensures that a product is manufactured in a safe, ethical environment, where workers are paid a fair wage, have safe working conditions, Environmental protection, and support for community development and sustainable livelihoods.

STANDARD 100 OEKO-TEX: The STANDARD 100 certification is a branch of OEKO-TEX certifications that ensures every component of a product, down to the buttons and zippers, is guaranteed safe for humans health and free from toxic chemicals.

We hope you’ve found the perfect organic pillowcase for a dreamy sleep.
