Use
only natural fibers - a bed that breathes. The age of
synthetics has for the past 60 years or so, generated bedding
products which don't "breathe". Optimal sleeping conditions
provide a breathable surface to the sleeper. Organic
bedding fibers are breathable. Synthetic fibers, such as
polyester (a petrochemical product), acetate, or rayon, do not.
Daily
Breathing Time. Europeans are often surprised to see a bed
made up first thing in the morning. It is traditional practice
in western Europe to let the bed "breathe" in the morning. The
comforter is turned back to allow moisture and odors to escape from
mattresses and bedding via natural air circulation.
The
healthful, natural pleasure of sunning and airing natural bedding.
More traditional European, and Asian, bedrooms have direct outdoor
access for occasional sunning and airing of all components of the
bed. These cultures have a daily routine or ritual, to
maintain clean fresh bedding. Americans need only go back 2 or
3 generations to touch on the memory of the same lifestyle rituals
in their own families.
Organic bedding fibers benefit greatly from routine freshening in
sun and air, unlike synthetics, which are gradually destroyed over
time when exposed to the elements. In fact, the petrochemical
elements in synthetic fibers sometimes begin to emit unpleasant
odors after exposure to sunlight, that are difficult to remove.
Organic bedding fibers, by contrast, which come from organic
plant materials or wool, return with cleansed freshness, renewed
durability, and gently enhanced natural fragrances that remain in
the bedroom or nursery for hours.
We have been fortunate in the United States that the number of local
organic cotton and organic wool farm operations are gradually increasing
supplies of USA grown organic fibers. About 7 U.S. states actively
grow organic fibers, with California leading production capacity in the
country.
