Those of us down here in Florida are finally starting to feel a nip in the air once the sun goes down which means it’s time to start augmenting our nighttime wardrobe. That’s right, it’s jammie time. So we thought it would be a good idea to tell you how you can be eco-conscious even when you’re unconscious.

Hanna Anderson

Hanna Anderson, (www.hannaanderson.com) is an Oregon based company that makes Swedish style sleepwear with organic cotton. With over 60% of their clothes certified through Oeko-Tex, “every fabric, button, thread, and zipper is tested for over 100 potentially harmful substances.” They make long johns with beautiful quality ribbknit that has a silky surface, a softly stretchy character, and is ruggedly resilient in the wash, selling them separately to ensure the very best fit, ($33.60/$28.80). In addition to offering an assortment of vibrant colors and “butter-soft” clothes, this 20-year-old company gives back to the community with every purchase through their Hanna Helps Program which offers grants to hundreds of organizations that serve children across the nation. 

Pure Pajamas

However, if you want a little more pizzazz to your PJ’s, you may also want to check out Pure Pajamas,  (www.purepajamas.com) for a great selection of pajamas and yoga outfits for both men and women. While not all of their fabrics are labeled as eco-conscious, they do offer several products made with bamboo and organic cotton. These paisley flannel bamboo pajamas ($62) have a texture “comparable to a blend of cashmere and silk! Not only is bamboo snugly soft, but it also absorbs moisture, wicks it away from the skin, keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter!” 

T-Luxe

And if you just wanna be “hot” and don’t necessarily need to stay warm, check out the line of eco-conscious lingerie by T. Luxe, (www.t-luxe.net). Using sustainable materials like soy fabric, organic cotton, and organic silk, T. Luxe uses a low impact, natural dye process and offsets all of the energy used to create their lines through carbon offset programs.

Simple

To keep those feet warm, head over to Simple Shoes, (www.simpleshoes.com) for a wide selection of slippers. Committed to 100% sustainability, Simple Shoes grades themselves through their “Green Toe” method with grades of Good, Better, and Best, always striving to raise the bar for the best products. Offering plenty more than just slippers, Simple Shoes uses a variety of  materials to carry out their mission, including hemp, organic cotton, silk wool, coconut, recycled tires, recycled paper, recycled plastic, and more. Check out these slippers found at We Buy It Green. They have felted wool uppers and natural crepe outsoles. They use water based cements, 100% post consumer paper pulp foot forms, and totally state-of-the-art/back-to-the-future post-consumer recycled boxes. So keep those toes toasty and really walk the walk in a pair of Simple Shoes.

Vegan Chic

Simple Shoes also has a really cool pair of vegan slippiers over at Vegan Chic, (www.veganchic.com). With a soft and fuzzy organic cotton footbed over natural latex foam, the upper is mixed organic cotton and hemp with a button made of bamboo. Even the outsole is constructed from recycled soda bottles. With these slippers, you will definitely walk lightly upon the earth and softly around the house. 

Eco-silk

If you want a little something even more delicate on your feet, try on a pair of these slippers made from gold dupioni eco-silk, also found at We Buy It Green. They come with “a matching gold eco-silk bag with coconut button and are perfect for travel. Soft, sensuous and lightweight, they feature an organic cotton insole and bottom to ensure pure comfort through and through.”  On sale for only $49!

If you really want to sleep well at night, make sure that what you’re sleeping in not only keeps you comfortable, but also makes a positive impact on the world around you. These are only a few of the companies out there offering eco-conscious options in sleepwear. As always, let us know if you’ve found something that’s made you more eco-conscious.
