The Softest, Coziest Organic Cotton Sheets: My Obsession with Under the Canopy



Under
My Under the Canopy sheets are insanely soft. So much so that they have made me get into bed a little earlier on several occasions—I couldn’t wait to feel their silkiness against my skin. I don’t know how the team over there did it, but my sheet set (shown below), rivals my silk jammies for softness. How that is possible with organic cotton, I have no idea, but it’s true.

Delectable would be the word!

Under the Canopy bedding is free of pesticides, GMOs and harmful chemicals such as heavy metals, bleaches and formaldehyde. (The brand also makes some cute clothing, too—including a pair of pants named after me!)

The founder of the brand, Marci Zaroff, is a pioneer—she founded Under the Canopy in 1996. Zaroff coined the phrase “Ecofashion,” she is an internationally recognized authority, and was instrumental in the development of both the Global Organic Textile Standard, and the world’s first Fair Trade Textile Certification. Talk about Bona Fides!
