About Boll & Branch
Boll & Branch built its business on supply-chain transparency: organic cotton, Fair Trade Certified factories, and a traceable path from farm to finished set. That positioning is the main reason buyers choose it over cheaper cotton.
The signature sateen is the volume seller, but the range covers percale, flannel and a heavier waffle weave, plus duvet inserts and blankets in the same organic cotton.
Pricing sits above Brooklinen and Parachute. What you are paying for is certification and fabric weight rather than a novel construction.
What they make: Organic cotton sateen, percale, flannel and waffle bedding; duvet inserts, blankets, quilts and towels.

Care notes

- Avoid bleach and optical brighteners on the organic cotton — both shorten fibre life.
- Tumble dry low and pull the flat sheet out early to cut down on ironing.
Boll & Branch FAQs
Is Boll & Branch worth the price?
It is if certification and fabric weight matter to you. The organic and Fair Trade credentials are real and documented, and the sheets are noticeably denser than mid-priced cotton. If you only want softness, cheaper sateen gets close.
Is Boll & Branch too hot for hot sleepers?
The signature sateen runs warm. Hot sleepers should choose the percale weave, or move to Brooklinen percale or Parachute linen instead.
What does GOTS certification actually mean?
Global Organic Textile Standard covers organic fibre content plus environmental and labour criteria through processing — it is stricter than an unverified 'organic cotton' claim on a label.
How long is the Boll & Branch trial?
Thirty nights, with free shipping and free returns. That is shorter than Brooklinen's 365 days, so decide early.
