Organic Bedding

Many allergies are a direct result of chemicals in cotton fibers we either wear, or sleep on.

Non-organic cotton is produced in a way that causes great damage to the environment. It cannot be sustained without high levels of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Pesticides kill, cause nervous disorders, liver disease and cancer, and can be fatal to people who spray them on the cotton sent to mills for textile production

Toxic chemical residue remains in industrially treated fibers, in our clothing and bedding.  Persistent contact with the skin can aggravate a variety of allergies and allergic symptoms, especially for those with asthma and multiple chemical sensitivities.

Every food category has an organic alternative..  At last, non-food organic products are increasingly available, especially in natural bedding and clothing.  This is a benchmark development, since only recently, most experts felt organic cotton could not be successfully grown.

Organic bedding and linens use raw materials that are grown without chemical fertilizers, and are manufactured and dyed in an environmentally sustainable manner. When buying organic cotton products, you are supporting a growing movement working to improve the health of the soil, plants, animals and people.  Organic cotton bedding and clothing minimize your family's exposure to the toxins and industrial chemicals that often cause allergies and illness.

Organic cotton products meet stringent standards.  Industry certification of organic cotton is the public’s assurance that cottons in natural bedding and linens have been grown and handled according to strict procedures, and without persistent toxic chemical inputs.

Organic cotton farming and production reduces health risks.  Many EPA-approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases. Organic agriculture is one way to prevent any more of these chemicals from getting into the air, earth and water that sustain us.

Producers of organic products are leaders in innovative research.  Organic farmers have led the way, largely at their own expense, with innovative on-farm research aimed at reducing pesticide use and minimizing agriculture’s impact on the environment.
