bed sheets

[mellowtigger]

Do you have any good places to shop online for ethically purchasing some organic bedsheets? I would normally just go to the Target website, but they're on my naughty list at the moment. It is surprisingly hard to find places that offer Twin size sheets.

I badly need replacements. My current sheets have worn thin and are actually tearing apart. My throw blanket (which my mother bought me when I went to college the first time back in 1986) is literally see-through because the fibers have worn away and washed away for so many decades.

I ended up ordering tonight these sheets and blanket. (These blankets looked fun but pricey for the moment.)

These days, I'm a big fan of having replacements on-hand, so that I don't have to make any last-minute scrambles for solutions when something goes wrong. I'm open to ideas for other products/sites to shop, so I can keep a second set in storage.

Maybe JCPenney's for the sheets? Their search results list some, and I haven't heard anything bad about that company yet.

I've been at a loss lately too, on where to shop. I don't want to support Amazon, Walmart, Target, or eBay anymore. For something I'm planning to buy which seems to only be made in China, I plan to buy from Temu for the first time rather than getting it thru Amazon or eBay as I would have used to do.

I hadn't thought of trying the "old" companies. So many (like Sears) have disappeared. Thanks for the idea. I didn't know when I ordered that BareHome was founded here in Minnesota and donates bedding to "homeless shelters and underserved Minnesota communities". After sleeping a few nights in the new sheets, they're even more comfortable to my skin than my last set of worn out sheets. I think I might order my 2nd set from them too.

BareHome does sound like a good company.

We buy separate queen-size fitted sheets and king-size top sheets (so there's more covers to steal in the night), but most places only sell sets. We've been happy with The Company Store:

The oversized top sheet is a great idea! I looked up that Oeko-Tex standard, and it seems like more than just greenwashing. That's useful info. Thanks for the link!

Sheets and Giggles has some nice stuff. Their sheets are very soft.
