Carefully selected cotton with a focus on quality and better conditions

All cotton in IKEA products comes from more responsible sources. This means that our cotton is either recycled, or grown using methods that require less water and fewer chemicals than conventional cotton farming. This also contributes to better working conditions and increased profitability for the growers.

Leading constant change for cotton

We use cotton in many of our products – from bedding to sofa covers. All the cotton we use comes from sources that comply with requirements for more efficient water use and reduced use of chemicals. By choosing these products, you help support better farming methods and the development of more responsible cotton production.

Sweeter dreams with cotton grown with care

Treat yourself to the dreamy softness of cotton that’s grown with care. Most of our bed linen is woven from pure cotton that breathes, absorbs moisture and becomes softer with every wash.

We want responsibly produced cotton to become the standard

Conventional cotton farming often requires large amounts of water and chemicals, which can negatively impact both the environment and human health. That’s why we’re working with WWF and other partners to drive change in the cotton industry. The goal is to make better farming methods a natural part of the industry – and for more people to be able to choose cotton that is produced with greater consideration for people and nature.
