Nos 3 bonnes raisons d'acheter du linge de lit en coton biologique - Label Naturel

The cotton remains the most produced and purchased material by consumers, particularly for bed linen and clothing. Today, the conventional cotton cultivation represents 50% of global textile production. It is one of the most polluting industries in the world due to the use of chemicals and toxic products. Faced with ever-increasing pollution, organic cotton is now a reliable and solid alternative to conventional cotton cultivation. Discover now our three good reasons to buy organic cotton bed linen...

Organic cotton is above all ecological

The textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. And cotton farming is definitely part of it! Mostly used to create and manufacture clothing and bed linen, cotton is increasingly polluting. To grow conventional cotton, it is necessary to use chemicals, pesticides and any other products harmful to our health. But it doesn't stop there, the cultivation of this cotton requires water consumption 10 times higher than that of organic cotton.

The organic cotton is what you need to preserve your health and your skin! Grown without pesticides or aggressive substances, organic cotton absolutely does not contaminate or damage the soil. Its culture contributes to the preservation of the land and the environment.

By purchasing products made from organic cotton, each of us contributes to consuming more responsibly.

Organic cotton promotes fair trade

The label GOTS (Glocal Organic Ttextile Standard) certifies that the cotton is indeed organic in order to reassure the consumer and prove its quality. But this is not its only mission. Beyond proving that the cotton is organic, the label GOTS also guarantees perfect traceability of cotton throughout its supply chain, as well as its production processes, dyeing, finishing and printing free of any product harmful to the environment and users.

But that's not all! To understand that the label GOTS also has an ethical mission. This label helps protect the health of farmers and guarantees them a stable working environment. Also, farmers and employees have good working conditions with a decent salary. Finally, the label GOTS promotes fair trade.

Conversely, conventional cotton cultivation is not certified. People who work in contact with this cotton are therefore exposed to toxic products which can seriously harm their health.

Organic cotton is healthy and good for your health

There is nothing better than sleeping in healthy sheets free of any toxic components. Whether it is the organic quality of the textile, the manufacturing, the harvesting, the labeling, here too the label GOTS guarantees unfailing reliability of cotton to the consumer. Overall, all stages of production are regulated and controlled in order to safely guarantee the absence of any harmful products that could come into contact with your skin while you sleep.

Both safe for the producer and the consumer, organic cotton bed linen represents no danger for you and your entire family.

FAQs

Is organic cotton bed linen really healthier for skin and allergies?
Yes, organic cotton bed linen is grown without pesticides or harsh chemicals. This considerably reduces the risk of skin irritation and allergies and improves the comfort of sensitive skin.
Why does organic cotton bed linen often cost more than classic cotton?
Organic cotton requires more environmentally friendly cultivation, with often lower yields and strict certification (GOTS). These requirements lead to higher production costs, which explains the higher price of organic cotton bed linen.
Does organic cotton bed linen shrink more when washed?
Like any natural textile, organic cotton may shrink slightly during the first wash. To limit this phenomenon, it is recommended to follow the care instructions, to favor washing at 30-40°C and to avoid excessively intensive drying.
What weave density should you choose for durable and pleasant organic cotton bed linen?
Quality organic cotton bed linen generally has a weave of 57 to 120 threads/cm² depending on the type (percale, satin, gauze). The higher the thread count, the denser and more durable the fabric. The choice depends on your preferences: percale for a fresh and smooth finish, satin for a silky touch.
Is organic cotton biodegradable or compostable?
Yes, organic cotton is a 100% natural fiber, therefore biodegradable. If it has not undergone harmful chemical treatments, it can even be composted at the end of its life, making it an environmentally friendly material throughout its life cycle.
