Whyyyyyyyyy do companies insist on making bedsheets that are cotton mixed with a plastic like polyester!!!! When I ask for cotton bedsheets I mean I want 100% cotton bedsheets not 52% polyester 48% cotton!! Like I get that cotton is not that environmentally friendly in terms of water use but at least once the bedsheets reach the end of their life they can be recycled easily or composted because it’s an organic material. Also I have cotton bedsheets that are genuinely decades old and they’re still going strong and they’ve been used and washed a lot! So I know that good quality bedsheets will last a very long time and they feel much nicer

#trying to buy clothes and other textile items like bedsheets that contain no plastic #obvs difficult if something needs stretch or if it’s active wear #but come on I feel like brands are cutting soooo many corners when it comes to manufacturing products #and they’re taking the piss sometimes #was in John Lewis and saw a cute jumper. it was over £200 and was not 100% wool it was a tiny bit of wool mixed with various plastics #it’s like if I’m paying £200 for a jumper I am expecting it to be 100% natural materials #get fucked. I’m not a fucking mug.#it made me so angry #not that I was going to buy it anyway because who has £200 to spend on a jumper #but the audacity of the brand to sell that at that price. get fucked.
