Bien que le confort et les avantages du coton soient bien connus, tout le monde ne connaît pas toute l'histoire de cette culture et ne sait pas pourquoi vous devriez vous soucier de son origine.
Entrez : le coton biologique !
Using nature-based solutions for its growth, harvest, and production, organic cotton is a top-notch choice for all your sustainable slumber needs. From its environmental excellence to its exceptional calibre, this fluffy, natural fiber is a fan favourite for a reason.
Vous n'êtes pas encore au courant de tous les détails ? Ne vous inquiétez pas. Installez-vous confortablement, détendez-vous et laissez-nous vous apprendre quelques trucs sur notre cher ami, le coton biologique.
MagasinezLecoton biologique est cultivé à l'aide de méthodes et de matériaux plus sains et plus sûrs pour toutes les personnes concernées, en particulier la Terre Mère.
While conventional cotton crops are typically GMOs (genetically modified organisms) that use an abundance of synthetic chemicals (like pesticides, fertilizers, and bleach) during production, organic cotton is grown, harvested, and manufactured with only non-GMO seeds and natural techniques. This ensures soil biodiversity is maintained and defends against water, earth, and air contamination by these same chemicals, which can be notorious for wreaking havoc on our ecosystems.
Ainsi, en travaillant en étroite collaboration avec la nature et en respectant des directives strictes, les producteurs de coton biologique créent des conditions saines qui préservent notre planète.
There’s also the fact that cotton grown organically releases 45% fewer emissions on average than its conventionally grown counterpart. And with 90% less water irrigation required, you can see why organic cotton makes for such a sustainable superstar — since it usually takes over 2500 litres of water to make just one cotton t-shirt alone.

Maintenant que nous sommes au courant, voyons comment le coton biologique passe de la ferme à la fibre, puis au tissu :
As mentioned, organic cotton is grown using non-GMO seeds only. These seeds turn into bushy shrubs with creamy flowers, that, once pollinated, drop off to reveal cotton bolls — yes, bolls — containing the fluffy white fiber we all know and love.
In conventional crops, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and defoliators are used to speed up the harvesting process. But organic cotton skips these synthetic sentiments entirely, relying on natural defoliation techniques (like water, nutrient, and temperature management) to get the job done instead.
So finally, after all the leaves have fallen off to reveal that classic white puff, the cotton is collected and cleaned before being spun into yarn. And this yarn is what makes up all the soft, breathable, and comfortable cotton textiles we’re familiar with today!
Absolument.
Not only is this fiber a great choice sustainability-wise, but organic cotton also tends to last longer and maintain its quality better, thanks to its inertly long and strong fibers. We’ve come to call this quality “cotton confidence”, which you can read more about below.
What’s more, QE Home’s Organic Cotton bedding doesn’t break the bank, so you can skip the financial fluff and maximize every dollar spent. Talk about a win-win!
