It’s not every day that you can tuck into something that’s feel good AND do good.
…So when I discovered Boll and Branch, I got really excited. Here’s an exact quote from the moment when Doug and I laid down in our sheets: “Whoaaaa.” Trust me, in the Boll and Branch sheets review department, they deserve 5 stars. Uber soft, comfortable, and high quality. But there’s more. In an industry that’s highly toxic to the environment, they’re also committed to doing good. Which is why I decided to feature the organic bedding brand as this month’s That Charming Brand feature!
Quick pause for context: That Charming Brand is a regular series that’s dedicated to highlighting sustainable brands that are making moves in the industry. Here are other features you may be interested in: VEJA Shoes + Sezane Clothing + Eco-Friendly Swimwear Brands
Boll And Branch Sheets Review
The 411 on Boll and Branch
Sure, the sheets feel like luxury, but regardless the facts speak louder than my opinions. So I’m going to lay them out there for you! Here are a few that I was particularly impressed by with Boll and Branch. (All facts taken from the Boll and Branch website.)
- They use top-quality, sustainble, raw materials. We’re talking 100% soft, organic cotton that benefits the ecology and economics of the community around it. Also, 100% of their packaging is made from recycled paper and can be recycled and/or repurposed.
- Zero toxins, chlorine or formaldehyde are used at any point in the making of their sheets.
- They treat workers with respect. Boll and Branch purchased fair-trade, organic cotton that ensures better working conditions for farmers.
- They’re the first Fair Trade Certified manufacturer of linens. That’s a big deal!
Why is 100% organic cotton such a big deal?
Using 100% organic cotton is better for the environment and people.
The cotton industry can be very tough, particularly for workers. Often terrible conditions, a world of exploitation, and even short life spans because of exposure to detrimental chemicals. Farming organic saves 90% of the water used in conventional farming methods, and pays premiums to those who plant, ensuring that they remain debt-free.
Last year, Boll and Branch bought $2.4 million pounds in fair trade organic cotton, helping keep 12,800 farmers out of debt.
Conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticide than any other crop in the world. When cotton is grown organically, it substantially reduces the harm done to the environment around it. For pest control, Boll and Branch uses marigolds instead of chemicals. Organic cotton uses 88% less water, and 62% less energy than traditional cotton. In fact, in 2018 their organic cotton saved 592,923,320 gallons of water.
Need I say more?
Are the sheets worth the cost? How do they compare to others?
First of all, with the importance of 100% organic cotton in mind, supporting a linen company who does the right thing over the quick, standard thing is a no brainer, right?! It certainly is for me.
Of course, the reality of how they perform is very important as a consumer. We have two sets of Boll and Branch sheets and can attest that they’re amazing. They’re high quality, comfortable, and somehow seem to get even softer every time we wash them.
Here’s my honest Boll and Branch sheets review: YES they’re worth it. They feel like luxury because they are luxury. And though they’re more expensive than your average sheets, they not only are extremely high quality and will last long, but you can feel good about what you’re laying on. Which, to me, is priceless.
