If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin, your bedding could be part of the problem.
Many conventional sheets, pillows, and duvets are made from synthetic fibres treated with harsh chemicals. These can trap dust, off-gas VOCs, and irritate skin — making it harder for your body to fully rest and recover.
Here’s how to build a non-toxic sleep space that supports both comfort and clear breathing.
1. Choose GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilisers — and GOTS-certified options are free from formaldehyde, bleach, and synthetic dyes. This means:
-
Less irritation for eczema-prone or sensitive skin
-
No toxic off-gassing
-
Breathable, moisture-wicking comfort

2. Skip Synthetic Fibres (Even the "Eco" Ones)
Polyester, bamboo-viscose blends, and memory foam can harbour dust mites and hold onto moisture — a recipe for microbial growth and allergens.
Natural fibres like organic cotton and wool are:
-
Naturally antimicrobial
-
Moisture-regulating
-
Breathable and dust-mite resistant
3. Use Wool for Temperature and Moisture Control
Wool is ideal for allergy sufferers due to its unique structure:
-
It wicks moisture away from the skin
-
Regulates body temperature
-
Deters mould, mildew, and dust mites
Our mattresses and toppers are padded with organic wool — a healthier alternative to chemical fire retardants.
4. Avoid Fragrance and Fabric Softeners
Even “fresh scent” sheets or laundry products can trigger allergies. Always wash your bedding with fragrance-free, non-toxic detergent. Skip softeners altogether — our organic cotton softens naturally over time.
5. Upgrade Your Mattress
If your mattress contains synthetic foam or chemical adhesives, it could be releasing VOCs into your room every night.
-
Contains no glues or synthetics
-
Is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial
-
Offers breathable, pressure-relieving support
