Should I care about the environment? Should I care about our health? I’m not sure. Do we need cotton? Is microfiber OK? I think I would prefer cotton… Right?
Thanks! |
| Considering how long sheets last, it is probably not the biggest problem to buy the ones you like best. Focus on cutting back on plastics, red meat, car use. |
| I like target threshold sheets, they are long-lasting which also makes them better for the environment than the more $$$ sheets I’ve bought over the years that didn’t hold up. |
| How about linen sheets? They last forever and get softer over the years |
|
Thanks. I didn’t know if non cotton sheets would ultimately poison us and leak into the water. But I know NOTHING about this stuff.
Is microfiber ok, then? |
| I mean, I would never have microfiber sheets because I just don’t like how they feel and I don’t think they breathe well enough. |
| The Target Threshold sheets are amazing. I was skeptical but I followed the advice of this board and tried them. Way WAY nicer than other sheets that are 6x the price. |
Link? |
| Microfiber is plastic so not great for your body or the environment |
Just search for threshold performance 400 |
What? No. Cotton is a natural, sustainable fabric. Microfiber is plastic. Why would you think that is better for the environment. |
| All cotton is the only material that is comfortable. |
OP here. These are the ones we have, and they’re terribly scratchy! Maybe we got a bad batch? They’re a year old and haven’t ripped but they’re far from soft. |
| We use a linen cotton blend and they’re great. |
| I bought llbean 100% cotton sheets a year ago and love them. They are holding up so nicely. I think they are ones you could keep for a long time, making them environmentally friendly. |
