Is Sustainable Bedding Worth It? 5 Eco-Friendly Fabric Picks from Ever Lasting
The average person spends nearly a third of their life in bed, so choosing bedding that’s better for you and the planet isn’t just a nice idea—it’s an investment in your health and the earth’s future.
Conventional cotton, for example, can require massive amounts of water and pesticides to produce. Sustainable bedding swaps help cut down on water usage, reduce harmful chemicals, and often last longer, making them a smarter buy in the long run.
At Ever Lasting, we believe bedding can be:
- Beautiful,
- Comfortable,
- Eco-conscious—all at once.
Here are our top five sustainable fabric picks for 2025 and beyond.

Our Assorted Silky Solid TENCEL™ Sheets come in a range of colors, so you can match your eco-conscious choice to your personal style.
