CERTIFIED ORGANIC CHARM
Upgrade your bed with easy-going sophistication. Our Organic Cotton Gauze Shams add texture, coziness, and a decorative touch to your pillows and bedding. Lightweight and breathable, we stitch the shams with four layers of wondrously soft GOTS-certified organic cotton muslin — a premium renewable fiber that only gets softer with time — in an airy, open-weave structure. Mix and match with our other luxurious pillow coverings, or style them on their own — either way, the shams’ natural crinkle finish will make your bed charmingly irresistible.
BREATHABLE ORGANIC COTTON MUSLIN
Rest easy knowing we craft our Organic Cotton Gauze Shams with high-quality, GOTS-certified organic cotton muslin — without polyester fill or synthetic blends. Soft on the skin and the environment, its purpose is twofold: comfort and sustainability. Organic cotton muslin is also more breathable and naturally temperature-regulating.

Our Organic Cotton Gauze Shams and Organic Cotton Gauze Blanket are made for each other. Available in natural, white, and charcoal hues and sophisticated textures, they add character and elegance to your bed.

CLIMATE NEUTRAL CERTIFIED
As a Climate Neutral Certified company since 2019, we've measured Avocado's annual cradle-to-consumer emissions, offset them by investing in climate change solutions, and started taking real action to reduce our emissions. We also recognize our offsets and reductions aren't enough. Solving climate change will require systemic solutions. That's why, through our partnerships with Ceres and the American Sustainable Business Network, we also advocate for state and federal policies that support equitable solutions to the climate crisis.
PROJECT ZERO WASTE
We're proud to be certified by UL Solutions for a landfill diversion rate of 85%. That means only 15% of our manufacturing waste ends up in the landfill — we upcycle or recycle the rest. Since we began Project Zero Waste in 2020, we've been a pioneer in the space, increasing our waste diversion rate by 33%. We are the first mattress and bedding company to achieve this. We're we aren't done yet. Our goal is at least a 90% diversion rate. Read more about Project Zero Waste.
