As someone interested in having children one day (and a Type A personality), I have begun researching all the essentials that children require. And of course, my goal is always non-toxic, organic, and safe for my future child. So if you are a parent or planning to be a parent, here are my top choices for the best organic crib sheets.

You might be wondering why something like sheets should be organic. The real reason is because in society today we are surrounded by synthetic materials (AKA plastic). From our bedding to our clothing, to our shoes, to our furniture, I mean the list goes on and on.

Not to be dramatic but synthetic materials are everywhere. Rayon, polyester, nylon, spandex, fleece are just a few examples. All of which are made entirely of plastic and derived from non-renewable petrochemicals, also known as fossil fuels.

These synthetic materials are chemically produced and the harmful chemicals remain on the fabric even after you purchase it off the shelf.

You might be thinking you are better off with conventional cotton but the truth is, non-organic cotton is loaded with pesticides. In fact, The Organic Trade Association says that up to 25% of total pesticides worldwide are for treating cotton crops. Traditional cotton is also contributing to greenhouse gases, carbon emissions, and pollution.

Choosing organic cotton and other organic fabrics will not only reduce your carbon footprint, but keep you away from unnecessary toxins.

Organic materials such as organic cotton, hemp, and linen are much safer for your baby’s skin. Today there are certificates that companies can acquire to stand out in the overpopulated market. One of those certifications is called the Global Organic Textile Standard or GOTS for short. Another is OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Both of these companies test fabrics for safety and toxicity.

Now that you know about how completely toxic fabric can be (and how to choose better) here are my favorite organic crib sheets for your newborn baby.

5 Best Organic Crib Sheets

Takasa is for all the eco-conscious parents out there: a one-stop shop for all bedding and bath. Their products are 100% organic cotton and GOTS certified. As a company, they value (and uphold) the quality and social responsibility that goes into farming and producing of textiles.

Naturepedic is another brand dedicated to the health and safety of not only its customers but the environment. They want to help you eliminate chemicals from your daily life by providing organic mattresses, sheets, bedding, and more. Some of their outstanding certifications include GOTS, GOLS, EWG verified, FSC, and Made Safe^®.

Naturepedic doesn't just have organic crib sheets but a variety of crib bedding perfect for your baby's sensitive skin. Many options for your baby's crib including their standard crib mattress and pad covers. Choose from either a waterproof mattress protector or the standard breathable crib mattress cover.

AmourLinen is sustainably handcrafting home goods from premium 100% European flax linen. Natural materials like linen are another great alternative to synthetic fabrics. Their products are made in-house in  Vilnius, Lithuania and all OEKO-TEX standard certified.

They strive to stay carbon neutral in all areas of their business including the entire product line. They do this by making each item to order which significantly minimizes unnecessary waste. This eco-friendly company keeps sustainability and climate change in mind in everything they do.

Sijo uses eucalyptus fabric (also known as Tencel) and French linen to produce lounge wear and bedding (including organic sheets). They are dedicated to a sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing process. BIPOC and women-owned business. Sijo's associates are provided a safe and healthy working environment and are paid fair wages.

Another excellent choice for organic crib sheets is from a brand called Ettitude. Ettitude products are made from 100% certified organic bamboo from only FSC-certified forests. Not only is their bamboo breathable, incredibly soft, and naturally dyed, it's also OEKO-TEK certified and free from harsh chemicals.

I hope these organic crib sheets are the perfect addition to your baby's nursery. You can have peace of mind knowing your baby is supported by premium quality fabric. And at the same time you are supporting the environment, wildlife, and reducing chemical pollutants.

Last thing to note, I would recommend a few sets of crib sheets to have on hand because we all know accidents happen. Happy shopping!
