Because snoozing can be sustainable, too!

What’s one thing we love just as much as tasty vegan food? Getting a good night’s sleep! And a vegan lifestyle is about much more than what’s on your plate. It’s a way of life that can translate into the realm of clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty products, kitchen utensils—and even bedding! After extensive research (by that, we mean a lot of lounging around), we’ve found some vegan products that will provide you with the most sustainable and satisfying slumber ever. Here’s a list of the top eco-friendly mattress and bedding brands.

Are you tired of waking up with back pain? With the vegan Eco-Lux mattress from BedInABox, you can bid adieu to uncomfortable nights of sleep. This dreamy mattress is masterfully crafted in two layers for maximum comfort. The base is an 8-inch layer of BioLux Support Foam which promotes the alignment of your spine. It’s topped in a plush 3-inch layer of BioLux Gel Memory Foam and surrounded in a breathable organic cotton cover. It’s the first and only USDA Bio-Preferred memory foam mattress made from 34% renewable materials. If you’re looking for vegan bedding and pillows to complete your bedroom makeover, BedInABox has it all.

Avocado Mattress is your one-stop shop for eco-friendly mattresses, pillows, and sheets! They’re the world’s first mattress brand to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across the entirety of their operations. Avocado’s vegan-specific products are PETA approved, Vegan Action verified, and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified—which is a fancy way of saying these products are as organic and cruelty-free as they get. There is a vegan tab on the Avocado website to shop their cruelty-free mattresses, linens, and bedding.

This bed-centric brand launched in 2011 as one of the first revolutionaries to start the bed-in-a-box trend, which is exactly what it sounds like—a mattress that’s delivered straight to your door, in a box. The vegan Nest Bedding mattress options include the Signature Hybrid Memory Foam, Love & Sleep, and Flippable Memory Foam Hybrid varieties. Not only are these mattresses fire-resistant and eco-friendly, but they’re CertiPUR-US Certified, handmade in the US, and supportive AF! Don’t believe us? This brand has a 100-night guarantee.

You may have heard of using activated charcoal in smoothies, ice cream, and toothpaste, but what about in mattresses? Yep, you read that right! Brentwood Home’s Crystal Cove Vegan Mattress is made with activated charcoal-infused memory foam, precision-tuned coils, and 100% natural latex. It’s handcrafted in Southern California with natural and nontoxic materials, including a natural silica quartz fire barrier! And it’s double-sided, so you can flip the mattress depending on how plush or firm of a bed you’d like to lounge on. For each of these eco-friendly mattresses purchased, Brentwood Home donates a portion of the profits to the National Forest Foundation and makes one ReliefBed mattress for those experiencing homelessness, as well as shelter residents and victims of natural disaster.

You probably know that potatoes are a staple in a vegan diet, but did you know they can be turned into fibers used to make mattresses? Yep, that’s right! The vegan mattresses from The Futon Shop are composed of potato starch-based PLA fibers that act as a vegan alternative to wool. PLA fibers are moisture-wicking, hypoallergenic, and soft as it gets!

A lot of pillows are made with down feathers, so they’re not vegan. But what if we told you there was a cruelty-free pillow that’s made with 1,500 hypoallergenic latex hexagon-shaped air channels for continuous airflow? That’s not a hypothetical question, we ARE telling you that! The Purple Harmony Pillow is the world’s first and only pillow made from Purple Grid Hex. This masterfully crafted headrest will offer you comfort, support, and breathability like no other! And it comes in two different heights for you to choose from depending on your size and preference of sleep side. In addition to pillows, Purple offers vegan bedding, linens, pajamas, and mattresses.

These vegan-friendly Kapok Sleep Pillows from Bean Products are made of an organic cotton exterior and kapok fiber stuffing. Kapok is the fun name of a light and fluffy down-like fiber that’s found in the seed pods of kapok trees native to the tropical rainforest. In Bean Products’ harvesting process, kapok trees are not cut down, nor do they require irrigation or added chemicals—which means kapok fibers have a very low environmental impact. This earth-friendly, plushy product is available in many shapes and sizes, including standard, travel, and even neck roll pillows!

This brand’s name is an acronym for Research Enhanced Sleep Technology—so basically, they’re pillow-making scientists! REST’s Premium Blended Memory Foam Pillow is composed of Certi-PUR memory foam, which adapts to the shape of your body for customized coziness. The pillow is encased in a thermoregulating bamboo cover that is removable and washable. Best of all, it’s handmade in the US using sustainable resources.

There’s something so luxurious about sleeping on a freshly made hotel bed. Our friends at Pact have found a way to replicate that feeling at home with their Room Service Sateen Sheet Set made with 100% pure organic cotton sateen. The collection contains one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, two pillowcases, and a reusable laundry bag—it’s the whole package! These linens are fair trade certified and save over 419.7 gallons of water in comparison to conventional cotton. Why is that? Their organic cotton is grown without any harmful inorganic pesticides, fertilizers, or water pollution.

Ettitude’s name derives from the term “eco-attitude,” defined as “living mindfully to sustain a more comfortable existence for all.” Crafted from the world’s first CleanBamboo fabric, ALL of Ettitude’s products are vegan! Their 100% organic bamboo material is produced in a closed-loop system that recycles and reuses water up to 200 times, recycling 98% of water in the process. Ettitude turns their hypoallergenic and thermo-regulating bamboo textiles into the most sophisticated sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, duvet inserts, and mattress protectors. The Signature Sateen Sheet Set is as smooth as vegan butter!

Wish there was a way to reduce bedhead, sleep wrinkles, and hair breakage? There is! With Madison & White’s Bedtime Beauty Satin Pillowcases, your hair and skin will retain moisture and glide smoothly across your pillow as you move around. This is made possible with the use of Madix, a technical fabric that was designed to protect your hair, skin, and the environment! Owner Kamela Hurley shared, “Most people don’t know that it takes an average of three-thousand silkworms to make roughly two silk pillowcases. As a mother, Integrative Health Coach, and Certified Yoga Teacher, I wanted to create products that helped people to sleep better on all levels.” And that she did! Her pillowcases are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, sustainable, and velvety as all get-out.

The Buffy Cloud is one of the most popular comforters out there, and we think we know why! First, it’s made from eucalyptus fabric that is softer than the oat whipped cream from Sprouts (hint: it’s soft!). Additionally, Buffy’s eucalyptus fabric uses 10 times less water than cotton, and their extra-fluffy recycled fill keeps 50 plastic bottles out of landfills and protects 12 geese from losing their feathers. Pro tip: Snuggle this comforter inside one of their duvet covers to bring in a pop of color.
