There are many factors to consider in determining material sustainability. Two of these are the renewability and source of a fiber, the process of how a raw fiber becomes a textile, the working conditions of the people who produce the materials, and the total carbon footprint of that material.
For sustainable consumers looking for ethical organic bedding solutions, New Jersey-based bedding company Boll & Branch has the solution. The heirloom quality sheet set has put Boll & Branch on the map and only gets more comfortable over time. It produces quality yarns made from single-ply, long-lasting organic cotton that provides maximum durability and breathability, as opposed to synthetic fibers that do not breathe and can be harsh on the skin.
With Boll & Branch's natural fibers, its customers can sleep better on breathable and comfortable organic cotton fiber sheets. The thin, sleek fabric is the ideal density for year-round comfort, with a light and airy drape.
The Highest-Quality Natural Fibers
Natural fibers are fibers that are found in nature and are not manufactured from petroleum. Natural fibers used to make garments in sustainable fashion can be classified into two main groups, cellulose or plant fiber and protein or animal fiber.
The highest quality handcrafted artisan craftsmanship goes into every Boll & Branch mattress and all ethically sourced materials. With a core coil foundation covered with micro-coils, the Boll & Branch mattress features 100% organic cotton, and natural latex, infused with cooling graphite, and a breathable wool/polyester blend layer on top.
Boll & Branch sources GOTS-certified organic cotton, which means the cotton sheets are made from the purest non-toxic materials and gentlest dyes that are safe for you and your family. Boll & Branch organic sheets contain no skin-irritating chemicals, and organic cotton is naturally biodegradable and sustainable.
Boll & Branch is the leading buyer of Fair Trade Certified organic cotton and we create simply exceptional products for your home, all ethically made, sustainably sourced, and quality based, down to the last stitch.
Sourcing Luxury Organic Cotton
Working with Fair Trade USA to ensure high standards of ethical sourcing, the brand’s CEO Scott Tannen Boll & Branch’s factories are audited by the organization to ensure compliance, in addition to issuing quarterly reports to the company. As a partner of Fair Trade USA, the brand ensures safe working conditions for its certified factories in Paramount Textile Mills in Thirali, India.
According to Tannen, the ethical story for brands is a huge driver. Whilst many other companies see challenges that derive from a customer-acquisition standpoint, the brand enjoys its reputation as its biggest driver of sourcing ethically-harvested cotton. The brand has woven Fair Trade ethics into its identity since 2014, and it sources 54% of the fair trade cotton made for the whole of the United States.
