Doing our part.
100% Viscose from Bamboo
Instead of cheap cotton or expensive silk, we use fabrics derived from the environmentally friendly bamboo plant for our blankets and sheets. When it comes to debating the softest, smoothest & most luxurious feeling fabrics, those derived from the bamboo plant are a more sustainable choice.
But why did we pick bamboo? In addition to the cooling and temperature-regulating properties of the fabric, here are a few other reasons:
- Requires 1/3 of the water to grow
- Self-regenerating & fastest growing plant
- Does not require pesticides or fertilizers
- Hypoallergenic & gentle on skin
Our buttery soft Luxury Sheets & Lightweight Blanket definitely make a lasting, luxurious impression.
Super-soft, Sustainable Modal
Modal has an incredibly dreamy feel, is breathable, moisture-wicking, and is much softer than other fabrics. It's an innovative fabric, made from renewable beechwood pulp and sourced from sustainably managed forests, and is considered more eco-friendly than cotton as it requires less water & energy to grow.
Our Essential Loungewear & Modal Sleepwear Collection are knit from Modal Fleece – creating ultra-soft apparel, keeping you comfortably lounging all day & night.
Thinking Smarter,
Not Harder
RECYCLABLE OR REUSABLE PACKAGING
Many of our comfort essentials are perfectly packaged in stylish bags or totes that can easily be reused for personal storage, travel and more! If it's not reusable, the packaging definitely recyclable. For example, our Essential Loungewear Collection & Modal Sleepwear Collection is packaged within a glassine paper bag then shipped out in a BDP treated poly bag.

Sheets, Pillowcases and Duvet covers also shipped in BDP plastics, making a huge impact on sustainability. Our goal is to responsibly addresses end of life with no microplastics, one product at a time.
GLASS VS. PLASTIC BEADS
Our glass beads that provide the weight in our weighted blankets are naturally hypoallergenic, certified lead-free, and an environmentally friendly alternative to the more commonly used plastic pellets.
