What Types Of Organic Cotton Bedding You Can Use In Your Home

By Brenda N. Dove


Motivated by recent trends that are encouraging people to be more eco-conscious and in daily life and habits, many people are beginning to use organic cotton bedding in their houses. This type of bedding can include pillows, topers, pads, mattresses, sheets, comforters, and blankets and organic baby bedding. In addition to the ecological reasons, there are more pluses to using these itemsare more durable, made with allergy safe materials, and are not treated with the same dangerous chemicals as standard store-bought bedding So, it is easy to see that there are countless reasons to use any of the many types of bedding and other organic products available for our homes.

The following items are some of the most common kinds of bedding available:

Crepe weave organic cotton bedding is a sturdy, supple, lightweight, and snag resistant blanket. This makes them ideal for wrapping up on a hanging swing on a cool fall evening, or wrapping up on the couch for a night of movie watching.

A cotton duvet cover is attractive, and has a high thread count (300 and above) that will ensure you sleep contentedly. Be sure to look for OEKO-TEX 100 certified, (internationally uniform testing and certification system for textile materials), assuring that you are protecting your comforter with a chemical free, and ecologically safe, cover.

Organic cotton sheets are also durable, soft, (when they have a high thread count), and a lighter choice. They can also be put in the washer and dryer (one low and gentle settings), making it easy to prepare your bed for a comfortable night's sleep. You can generally find a sheet set that will fit standard mattress sizes, making it easy to get just what you require. When looking at sheet sets, check the fitted sheets to see if they have deep pockets reinforced with elastic and double stitched corners, to make sure they will last for years to come.

Many eco-friendly stores have a wide selection of baby products, so if you need a blanket, comforter, organic crib mattress, as well as assorted organic wool bedding designed for babies. They are normally available in natural cotton, wool, and natural latex materials, allowing you to find just what you need to keep your baby healthy in the first fragile years, and throughout the rest of their life.

These are some of the organic cotton bedding available in most stores to help you have a comfortable, hypo-allergenic, and eco-friendly home. So, having an allergy free bedroom is only a matter of heading to the store, or searching online, and getting the bedding you need.
