This cloud cotton robe from Parachute luxurious, soft, and sustainable, making it it our top overall choice. It’s woven from 100% long-staple cotton, a fiber that results in fluffier fabric. Available in nine different colors including our favorite, “Surplus” (a shade of olive green), this bathrobe is so comfortable you’ll struggle to want to take it off. 

What’s more, the sustainability credentials of this brand really add up. All products are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified, so they’re made without any harmful chemicals or synthetics. Ever conscious of its impact, Parachute is Climate Neutral Certified and also works with the UN to send anti-malaria nets to countries in need.

The name “cloud loom” conveys the soft plushness of Coyuchi’s trademarked fabric, and this bathrobe is no exception. The long-staple organic cotton used to craft this bathrobe is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard. It is both absorbent and as close to fleece as organic cotton can come, making for heavenly, post-bath comfort. Available in three understated colors (we love slate), its unisex style means makes it a versatile choice.

Available in three understated colors (we love slate), its unisex style means you might find yourself fighting over it with your other half. That said, it’s definitely tempting to just buy two off the cuff: The brand works largely with Fair Trade Certified farmers and will also take your old linens for a discount on a new purchase with the guarantee they won’t end in landfill—a truly laudable way of keeping fashion sustainable. 

Best Waffle

When it’s hot or humid, a waffle weave can feel refreshing and light. This waffle robe is made from organic bamboo lyocell, which is OEKO-TEX certified. It’s made using fair labor in China. The bamboo fiber is woven into a sumptuously soft waffle texture that is both comfortingly thick and moisture-wicking—making it a perfect post-shower robe. It comes packaged in a reusable drawstring bag, made from recycled plastic fibers.

Best Lightweight

Bedestan Rainbow Hammam Robe

View On Goldune.com

Although this beautiful robe made by Bedestan doesn’t have a third-party certification, it was carefully vetted by the eco-retailer Goldune. The fabric is a blend of linen and cotton, made from on traditional Turkish looms, and colored with plant-based dyes. The robe is both quick to dry and very absorbent, and it safe to machine wash and dry. 

Goldune ships robes in recycled cardboard or compostable envelopes, and uses carbon offsets for all orders—a strategy some companies use to mitigate their contribution to climate change. 

Best Flannel

Pact Fireside Flannel Robe

View On Wearpact.com

We love Pact apparel for its organic cotton basics made with Fair Trade labor. This flannel robe is no exception, and the brand estimates that this item uses 54 gallons of water less than the same garment made from conventional cotton. The robe comes in several different plaid color ways, has a detachable belt, and two pockets. It's also one of the less expensive robes we found that still has robust sustainability credentials.

Through SimpliZero, Pact buys renewable energy and reforestation credits, offsetting the company’s carbon emissions.

Best Spa

View On Parachute

Nothing says classic spa—just with sustainability thrown in—like this sumptuously cozy white bathrobe from Parachute. Long-staple cotton promises plush, soft-on-the-skin comfort, while the shawl collar that can wrap about your neck for an added burst of warmth makes this a truly year-round addition to your bath and sleepwear. 

Like all of the brand’s products, this robe is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified (so no harmful chemicals or synthetics are used in the manufacturing process). It’s also made using thick Turkish cotton, so it’s guaranteed to make even the most humdrum bathing experiences feel like you’re at a five-star spa.

Best Long

Hass Modal Long Robe

View On Avocadogreenmattress.com

This long, elegant robe is made from soft modal fabric that’s made from eco-friendly cellulose fibers, with 10% elastane. The hem falls near the ankle, and the drape gathers at the back of the neck and cinches at the waist with a narrow drawstring. However, one major drawback to this style is that this robe does not have pockets. 

The robe is cut and sewn in Los Angeles. Hass is an apparel line by the bedding company Avocado. The company is a member of 1% for the Planet and also a Certified B Corp.
