Boll & Branch
About Boll & Branch
Price Range: $179–$499
What is the world’s most comfortable blanket?
Given they’re a favorite of three living US presidents, we’d go out on a limb (er, branch) to say it’s one of Boll & Branch’s 100% organic, Fair Trade certified blankets.
Boll & Branch is a bona-fide sustainable bedding aficionado, with high quality, luxurious bed linens, comforters, pillows, and more.
Their range of GOTS-certified blankets come in cable, waffle, sweater, Aran, or herringbone patterns and knits, plus traceable and humane Alpaca natural wool blanket.
For the most versatile option, we suggest the Waffle Bed Blanket, whose breathable, textured weave makes it the perfect summer catnap cover or winter laying tool alike.
Boll & Branch’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
Choose between 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton or natural wool blankets made of fair trade alpaca wool. Though matched in softness, alpaca wool is more sustainable than cashmere because of how much gentler alpacas are when grazing.
All items are OEKO-TEX-certified and free of toxic chemicals, including dyes.
Supply Chain & Labor Practices:
From farm to finish, you can trace every step of this brand’s commitment to organic.
Plus, all bedding is made in Fair Trade-certified factories in Turkey, India, Portugal, and the US.
Since 2014, the brand has paid nearly $1M in additional wages to factory workers and farmers to sustain fair wages and invest in their communities.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
Boll & Brand keeps you toasty without toasting the planet. To reduce emissions, they use boat shipping instead of flight freight.
They also use recyclable/compostable and recycled packaging.
Coyuchi
About Coyuchi

Coyuchi’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
Most are made of 100% GOTS and Fair Trade organic cotton from Portugal, Turkey, or India, and softened with plant-based softeners.
Some, like the Sequoia Washable Organic Cotton & Wool Throw, are made from 70% organic cotton with 30% Argentinian wool.
Supply Chain & Labor Practices:
Cotton is sourced in Portugal, India, or Turkey, and then woven in Portugal, Germany, or India.
Their Fair Trade-certified manufacturing partners ensure fair wages and employee empowerment opportunities.
Coyuchi also pays towards worker-managed Community Development Funds.

Saatva
About Saatva
Price Range: $178–$212
What began as mattress industry disruption has turned into stress relief icon status, thanks to Saatva’s line of responsibly-made sleep essentials.
Maybe you already have a mattress and bed frame from them, but you’re still tossing and turning?
In that case, check out Saatva’s range of organic quilts, knit blankets, and weighted blankets. The latter features velvety 100% cotton and all-natural glass beads to help you decompress and doze off to la-la-land. It’s available in 12 or 20-pound weights.
Saatva’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
Blankets are 100% cotton or cotton and viscose blend, while quilts are 100% organic cotton.
We suggest skipping the viscose blend, since it’s a semi-synthetic (NOT natural fiber) that begins as tree pulp and becomes a yarn through heavy processing.
All materials are fair trade, hypoallergenic, and bear OEKO-TEX certification.
Supply Chain & Labor Practices:
The brand’s natural throw blankets come from a Fair Trade Indian factory, but other bedding, like heir sustainable mattresses and comforters, are made in the USA.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
With almost 150 fulfilment centers, US-based deliveries travel less than 100 miles, reducing shipping impact.
The brand also provides a recycling service for their mattresses.
My Personal Review of Saatva’s Waffle Knit Blanket:
“I adore Saatva’s Waffle Knit Blanket. It’s a certified chemical-free, soft, and lightweight layer that provides year-round breathable comfort. The waffle weave made from long-staple cotton fibers feels amazing, and I love how it adds some texture to dress up the back of my couch when not in use.”

NaturLoom
About NaturLoom
Price Range: $24–$60
On a budget but want conscious luxury?
Drape yourself with an affordable and naturally soft-off-the-loom muslin blanket from NaturLoom.
It makes sense why this Etsy newcomer already has a Star Seller rating: their practically wholesale-priced Turkish muslin organic cotton blankets, throws, baby swaddles, and toddler blankets are soft, stretchy, breathable, lightweight, and sweat and allergy-free.
For warmth without weight, we’re especially ready to curl up with the Soft 4-Layer Gauze Blanket, which features layers of organic muslin, natural cotton tassels, and a uniquely elegant wrinkled appearance from a special weaving technique.
NaturLoom’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
The family-owned brand’s muslin products are all GOTS certified organic cotton. Their Turkish peshtemals (oversized beach towels) are all made from organic cotton and are OEKO-TEX certified.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
NaturLoom’s natural blankets will ship via Etsy’s carbon-neutral shipping and all shopping on the site is powered by renewable energy.

About Under the Canopy

Crawl under the canopy of cushy, plush comfort with Under the Canopy’s wool throw blankets made from 70% organic cotton grown in Turkey and 30% organic Merino wool from Argentina.
Their Organic Cotton & Wool Throw comes in a variety of playful patterns that are chic and cheerful.
Better yet, these ethical and organic products won’t break the bank (or your vegan wallet) since the brand believes:
“Products that are beautiful and better for you should not be exclusive to people with deeper pockets. We believe everyone should have access to organic goods that keep themselves, their families, and their planet healthier.”
PS: We own one of their chic and cozy duvet covers, which we actually use on its own as a bed blanket during the warmer months!
Under the Canopy’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
Only GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool, which is brushed for extra softness and finished with a whipstitch edge.
The brand also uses only chemical-free processes and OEKO-TEX-certified sustainable dyes.
Supply Chain & Labor Practices:
They manufacture through a vertically integrated supply chain that supports workers’ welfare and community investment.
Plus, they work with environmentally certified factories in Pakistan, India, Turkey, and China with safe working conditions and equitable pay.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
Under the Canopy claims to preserve land for continued sustainable production, but we’ll reach out for details on how.
My Personal Review of Under The Canopy’s Crinkle Duvet Cover:
“Working from home in a tiny house with limited space and seating means I spend a lot of time in bed: working, crafting, relaxing, and actually sleeping… So I need to keep my comforters protected with a duvet cover, which is why I jumped at the chance to test this. I love the textured feel and look of it, but I will say that when wet, it’s insanely bulky. My washer frequently gets unbalanced in the spin cycle with it, but otherwise, I have no complaints.”

Bearaby
About Bearaby
Price Range: $140–$370
If sleeptime anxieties are unbearable, Bearaby makes the journey from waking to dream life bearable with their range of sensory pillows and weighted blankets.
How does it work?
“The weight on your body stimulates the production of serotonin (the happy hormone), reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and increases melatonin, which helps you fall (and stay) asleep.”
Blanket weights range from 6-35 pounds and should be 10% of your body weight for the best deep sleep results.
Envelop yourself in the chunky knit Cotton Napper and snooze soundly knowing that non-toxic OEKO-TEX and Fairtrade certified organic cotton is your personal Sandman as it lulls you to a peaceful sleep.
If you have a child who struggles with bedtime anxiety, the Nappling is a safe, weighted option just for kids.
Bearaby’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
The sustainable blanket brand’s weighted blanket items are all 100% OCS-certified organic cotton.
They’re also OEKO-TEX® 100 certified, meaning only natural dyes and chemical-free processes are used.
They also have a Tree Napper made of 53% FSC-certified natural eucalyptus fiber TENCEL™ lyocell fabric and 48% organic cotton, which is extra cooling for hot sleepers.
Blankets have no actual weights and are only made with fabric. Bearaby’s patent-pending weighted yarn is the one material you’ll find in their chunky-knit blankets—almost 300 organic yards of it!
Supply Chain & Labor Practices:
Blankets are Fairtrade International certified, which means traceable supply chains adhere to strict requirements for farmers rights, workers rights, fair pay, no child labor, and good working conditions.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
Bearaby’s production line is plastic-free, so zero plastic wrapping is used.
Instead, they package in 100% organic cotton blanket bags.
Anchal
About Anchal
Price Range: $225–$384
Anchal is a nonprofit social enterprise with a unique approach to creating stylish home comfort.
The US-based, sister-owned brand supports Indian women exiting the sex trade by providing them with artisan maker opportunities.

And their full blanketing homewares range of course includes some of the best organic throw blankets.
These boldly designed, beautifully hand-woven GOTS-certified blankets can fashionably adorn any chair, bed, couch, or body.
We especially love the Ascend Throw Quilt, whose hand quilted geometric color block ensign makes it as much a woven artwork as they are a functional sleep item.
Anchal’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
Six delectable layers of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and each quilt features a hand-stitched signature of its creator and non-toxic dye colors.
Some feature layers of recycled cotton from vintage saris.
