Supima cotton has extra-long staple (ELS) fibers that are up to 35% longer and 45% stronger than standard cotton. This results in a smoother surface with fewer exposed fiber ends — reducing friction against the skin. Less friction means a lower risk of irritation, redness, or inflammation, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Unlike many short-staple cottons, Supima requires less chemical processing to feel soft, since the softness comes naturally from the fiber itself.

Yes. Supima cotton is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, meaning it draws sweat away from your skin and helps regulate body temperature while you sleep. This creates a drier sleep environment, reducing the chance of clogged pores, breakouts, or irritation caused by excess heat and humidity.

In contrast, synthetic fabrics or heavily treated cotton often trap moisture, creating a breeding ground for bacteria.

Absolutely. Supima cotton is hypoallergenic and contains no synthetic fibers or chemical blends. It’s grown without the need for harsh pesticides or artificial softening treatments — making it ideal for people with skin sensitivities, allergies, eczema, or contact dermatitis.

Additionally, the smooth surface reduces fiber shedding, a common irritant in lower-quality sheets.

Yes, it can. Rough or low-quality fabrics can cause friction and trap heat and moisture — all of which can irritate sensitive skin or worsen breakouts. Bedding that isn’t breathable may also lead to clogged pores or sweat-induced irritation.

Juniper’s bedding is made from 100% Supima cotton, which is naturally soft, breathable, and free from synthetic fibres — making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Juniper uses 100% Supima cotton — one of the world’s finest and rarest cottons, grown on family farms in the U.S. Supima fibres are 35% longer and 45% stronger than regular cotton, which means our sheets are smoother, softer, and last longer.

They’re also woven in Portugal using environmentally responsible practices, and contain no synthetic blends, coatings or unnecessary treatments.
