GOTS Certified Bedding UK
Cottsbury GOTS certified bedding is made from 100% organic cotton, traceable to a collective of small family farms in India, certified under both GOTS and Fairtrade. Every duvet set, fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcase in this collection carries the Global Organic Textile Standard — the most rigorous organic textile certification in the world. Every order ships in 100% plastic-free packaging. What GOTS Certification Means GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is recognised globally as the leading processing standard for organic textiles. To carry the GOTS label, a product must contain at least 70% organic fibres. Cottsbury bedding is made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton — well above the threshold. GOTS certification covers the entire supply chain — from the farm where the cotton is grown, through ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing, stitching, and packaging. At every stage, the product is audited against strict environmental and social criteria. No toxic chemicals. No exploitative labour. No greenwashing. Why GOTS Certified Bedding Is Worth The Investment Most bedding labelled "organic" in the UK is made from organic cotton at the fibre level only — the finished product is not GOTS certified, which means the spinning, weaving, dyeing, and finishing stages may still use synthetic chemicals. GOTS certification at the finished product level means you are sleeping in fabric that has been organic from seed to stitch. Beyond the environmental benefit, GOTS certified cotton is genuinely softer, more breathable, and longer-lasting than conventional cotton. It softens with every wash rather than wearing out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GOTS certification?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It covers environmental and social criteria across the entire supply chain — from the farm to the finished product. To carry the GOTS label, a textile must contain at least 70% certified organic fibres and meet strict standards at every stage of processing.
Is all organic cotton bedding GOTS certified?
No. Most bedding marketed as "organic cotton" in the UK uses organic fibres but is not GOTS certified at the finished product level. This means the cotton may have been grown organically, but the spinning, weaving, dyeing, and finishing stages may still involve toxic chemicals. Cottsbury bedding is GOTS certified end-to-end.
What is the difference between GOTS certified and organic?
Organic refers to how the cotton was grown — without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. GOTS certified means the entire finished product has been audited against strict environmental and social standards at every stage of production. A product can be made from organic fibres but not be GOTS certified. Is Cottsbury bedding also Fairtrade certified? Yes. In addition to GOTS certification, our cotton is Fairtrade certified at the farm level. This means the farmers who grew the cotton received a fair, stable price plus a Fairtrade Premium for community investment. The combination of GOTS plus Fairtrade is rarer than either certification alone.
Where is Cottsbury bedding made?
Our bedding is made in India, in a fully audited GOTS and Fairtrade certified supply chain. The cotton is grown by a collective of small family farms, then spun, woven, dyed, and stitched within the same certified network. We design in the UK. What sizes does Cottsbury bedding come in? We offer single, double, king, and super king sizes across our duvet sets, fitted sheets, flat sheets, and pillowcases. Check individual product pages for exact dimensions.
How is Cottsbury bedding packaged?
Every order ships in 100% plastic-free packaging. No poly bags, no plastic tape, no plastic fillers. How do I care for GOTS certified bedding? Wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Line dry or tumble dry on low. Iron on medium heat if desired. GOTS certified cotton softens with every wash and lasts significantly longer than conventional cotton.
How can I verify Cottsbury's GOTS certification?
