Over the years, conscientious shoppers have developed a list of criteria that make up quality bedding linens. For example, the “thread count” of a set of sheets is often touted as being a primary indicator of comfort and durability. This is true to an extent. Thread count merely refers to the number of threads in a given square inch of cotton. It’s also important to factor in the staple length of cotton bedding.

Organic cotton sheets feature long-staple cotton, which is soft and luxurious to the touch. In contrast, short-staple cotton is rough and scratchy like a prickly beard. The lack of harsh chemicals and genetically modified materials also characterizes organic cotton sheets and sets them apart from the pack. No bleaches or potentially harmful dyes are used in the process of creating these linens.
