Here at Clever, we’ve long been in search of the best organic bedding around, and if you ask us, organic comforters are some of the best options to start with. Why the struggle? First of all, finding high-quality bedding at a reasonable price is difficult on its own (one of the reasons so many direct-to-consumer start-ups have tried their hand in the space), and adding in sustainable specifications can quickly send costs skyrocketing. Besides, there’s a lot of confusing language and branding around manufacturing practices that can make purchasing decisions even more difficult, whether you're looking for fair trade certified (FSC) items or Oeko-Tex fabrics. Here’s one thing we can set straight: Comforters and duvets are different. An organic duvet typically consists of two pieces (an insert and a cover) while an organic comforter doesn’t require an insert—it’s easy to mix the two up.

And since we all could use a comfortable, serene space to sleep and recharge, why not peruse some more sustainably manufactured bedding? Whether you prefer lightweight to heavy or eucalyptus over merino wool, we’ve got the perfect natural material cuddle companion for you.

To help guide your bedding journey—whether you’re looking for something to top your twin XL, queen-size mattress, or a sprawling California king—we’ve rounded up the best organic comforters best suited to help you hide under the covers (free of harsh chemicals). Happy checkout and sweet dreams, and remember: You’re also doing something good for the planet! Now all you have to do is update your pillowcases, bath towels, and, of course, treat yourself to a new sheet set.

Editor's note: Prices below reflect queen comforter sizes and all-season fill. In many cases, there are other sizes and fill powers available.

Brooklinen

Brooklinen’s take on an organic comforter has over 500 five-star reviews and comes in a lightweight, all-season, or ultra-warm version. Packed with eco-friendly, recycled PET fibers encased in a 100% cotton sateen shell, we think this duvet is an all-around solid pick, whether you’re in the market for just a light layer for the spring and summer or something more heavy-duty for the colder months.

Sizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, king/Cal king

Weights available: Lightweight, all-season, ultra-warm

Amazon

Boll & Branch

With their queen-size duvet coming in right at the $300 mark, Boll & Branch’s products offer many sustainable traits. Their duvets are made of organic, fair trade cotton and their down-alternative fill is made in the US. To top it off, they’re Oeko-Tex certified, which means they’ve been tested for chemicals and pesticides that could be hazardous to your health. Boll & Branch also offers lightweight and winter-weight versions of the comforter, so you can select one based on your sleeping preferences.

Sizes available: Full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: Lightweight, midweight, ultra-weight

Saatva

Forget the classic diamond-stitched look and go all in on this fluffy situation. The comforter is made of a moisture-wicking organic cotton, and the lyocell fill is a great down alternative that still packs plenty of warmth (without going overboard). Our favorite part? The corner loops, which make attaching it to a duvet cover easy work.

Sizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, king/Cali king

The Company Store

You get a bit of customization power with this one—shoppers are able to choose just how warm they want the blanket to be (light, medium, extra, or ultra). Choose the warmest option and you won’t believe you’re not snoozing underneath a set of wool-filled comforters. This super-soft comforter is made of an organic cotton shell and filled with hypoallergenic RDS-certified down—and it’s all finished with a clean-looking box stitch.

Sizes available: Twin, full, queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: Light, medium, extra, ultra

Buffy

The eco-friendly credentials of a Buffy comforter are many: The fill is made with recycled plastic, it’s sewn with recycled thread, the primary fabric is eucalyptus sourced from regenerative forests, and Buffy is developing a closed-loop supply chain that’ll turn old comforters into new ones. And while the price point is reasonable at $159 for a queen-size comforter, you might want to factor in that they recommend dry-cleaning it.

Sizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: N/A

Buffy

See all of the above benefits of the Buffy supply chain, and add to the list the fact that the Breeze is crafted for a cooler natural comforter experience that's made of 100% eucalyptus.

Sizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: N/A

Puredown Pro

Enough of this “hot sleeper” stuff, what about us cool sleepers? This pinch-pleat design gives princess bed vibes. Besides loving its detail, we love its eco-friendly take on a comforter with 90% down fill and 100% Organic Cotton Shell. It also comes in a blue and gray if you’re not the duvet cover type.

Sizes available: Full/queen, king, Cali king

Weights available: N/A

Woolroom

This is the comforter for the heavy-handed environmentalist. Made from machine-washable wool, this comforter contains no synthetic materials or fibers. It’s naturally hypoallergenic, mold, mildew and dust mite resistant, and the wool itself is sourced from Chatsworth Estate in the UK. The cover is, of course, also made from 100% organic cotton. You can feel good about the carbon footprint of this comforter while wrapped in it.

Sizes available: Twin, full/queen, king

Weights available: N/A

Nest Bedding

Made of eco-wool that is sheared from humanely raised sheep in the United States, the Nest organic wool comforter is also Oeko-Tex and GOTS certified. While it sits at the top of the price threshold, those who might prefer a machine washable option from a more familiar fabric will find comfort here.

Sizes available: Twin, queen, king

Weights available: N/A

Sijo

For summer evenings, or New York apartments with erratic radiators, this is the cooler choice. Lightweight, airy, and made from 100% Tencel Lyocell (eucalyptus fibers) with sateen weave, this is the right hypoallergenic choice for hot sleepers or humid evenings. It's gently weighted without being sweaty, and Oeko-Tex-certified.

Sizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: Fullweight, lightweight

Avocado

If you’re not satisfied with run-of-the-mill polyester fill, Avocado’s comforter is stuffed with naturally thermoregulating and highly breathable alpaca fibers sourced from the Peruvian Andes. Topped with a 100% organic cotton cover in percale, this moisture-wicking duvet is another ideal pick if you’re prone to night sweats; try it paired with a cooling cotton duvet cover for maximum comfort.

Sizes available: Twin, full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: Lightweight, all-season

Casper

Customer reviews say this down-alt duvet as substantial enough to stay warm, but cool enough not to sweat through the night. The duvet insert is made from 100% Tencel Lyocell and filled with recycled polyester to make for a soft and temp-regulated experience. Customers are also loving its longevity, saying it holds its shape and quality for the long haul.

Sizes available: Full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: Fullweight, lightweight

CB2

A cover made from 230-thread-count, 100% cambric cotton makes for a sneezeless and deep sleep. This is another strong contender for a hypoallergenic and machine-washable choice, and advertises itself as a prime choice for hot sleepers and warmer months.

Sizes available: Full/queen, king

Weights available: N/A

Coyuchi

Available in four neutral-adjacent tones, this bed comforter that’s a brand best seller embraces the rumpled cotton look and shows off the beauty of the material. The filler will stay put, thanks to the diamond-stitch design and the all-encompassing binding gives it a finished look—you don’t even have to pop this one in a duvet cover.

Sizes available: Twin, full/queen, king

Weights available: N/A

Etsy

Combining two sustainable powerhouses, linen and hemp, this comforter is handmade in the Ukraine and provides the antibacterial, hypoallergenic benefits of hemp with the naturally cooling effects of linen. Both fabrics are biodegradable and require less water for production than cotton.

Sizes available: 30 US, European, and Australian sizes

Weights available: N/A

Naturepedic

If it’s warm enough for llamas at 23,000-foot altitude, it’s warm enough for us. This duvet cover’s materials are ethically sourced from alpaca wool in the Andes Mountains. Those prone to allergies might opt for this one, as alpaca wool is hypoallergenic, having only traces of lanolin compared to sheep’s wool. It’s then encased with OCS-certified organic cotton for softness and a luxurious feel.

Sizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: All-season

Parachute

The name really gives it away: This comforter is ridiculously puffy. Light enough to use year-round and made with an organic cotton shell, this comforter is finished with a sleek pintuck stitch to give it that perfectly lived-in look.

Sizes available: Full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: N/A

Pottery Barn

Tencel is made from wood pulp in a closed-loop system, which means most of the chemicals used to turn pulp into a usable fiber are recycled. While it doesn’t boast the organic certifications of some of the other comforters on the list, the fabric is made from sustainably harvested forests and this tufted option is machine washable.

Sizes available: Full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: N/A

Quince

If the idea of a comforter seems altogether too heavy for you, you might want to consider a lightweight quilt instead. They’re less cumbersome and bulky, and many are machine washable on a cool setting. Hand-quilted in India, this organic, cotton-filled set from Quince—a home and apparel line dedicated to sustainability and transparent pricing—is also great to look at, with its organic cotton voile shell.

Sizes available: Twin, full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: N/A

Ettitude

Made Trade

While many environmentalists steer away from rayon made of bamboo because of the chemicals used to produce the material, both the shell and fill of the Ettitude Whitehaven Comforter are made of 100% organic bamboo that is free of harmful toxins. Their products are Oeko-Tex certified and, in an effort to rebrand the bamboo name, their Clean Bamboo fabric is a lyocell made from bamboo instead of wood. Clean Bamboo is also manufactured in a closed-loop system and boasts hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, and hair care benefits.

Sizes available: Twin, full/queen, king/Cali king

Weights available: Summer weight, winter weight
