Why You Should Buy Organic Cotton


Organic cotton is grown without the use of any chemicals, pesticides or herbicides; it is grown naturally and purely. The clothes you are probably wearing; if they are traditional cotton, are grown and manufactured with a quarter of a pound of pesticides alone in them resting on your skin to absorb.


Organic Bedding and Why?

Why It Is Important To Put Your Baby/Child To Bed In Organic Bedding:

As we all know, babies spend a great time of time sleeping so their bedding is up against their sensitive new skin for long periods of time every day. Conventional bedding is grown and manufactured with many , many toxic chemicals that do not wash out of bedding ever.

If your baby/child is sleeping in organic bedding they will be safer, feel cosier and breathe easier. There will be no smell of the many petro chemicals and formaldehyde hazards. Your children will not be sleeping in a bath of pesticides, herbicides or chemicals. This is very scary; what we are realizing about conventional cotton bedding and what we have slept in for years. Certified organic bedding is chemical free, environmentally friendly and feels like high end luxury bedding. Natural coloured organic bedding does not have any colours or dyes added at all; simply pure nature against your wee one's skin. Organic bedding is vital for people with allergies, asthma, itchy skin or sensitive eyes.

Traditional bedding have so many chemicals in them that all of these symptoms can be irritated by sleeping in them. Switching to certitied organic cotton bedding can alleviate many of these conditions and therefore provide a better more restful sleep. Organic bedding is more expensive than traditional bedding but you are paying for preserving your health and longevity. This seems well worth it. Beware of companies putting the word organic or natural in the product name or in big letters across the front of the product. They may not be at all; it may be a marketing ploy to snag you. Look at reputible companies that specialize in and solely make certified organic products.

I can assure you that you will see, feel and smell the difference from organic cotton and traditional bedding. You will never want to purchase traditional bedding again after a nights sleep in silky soft organic bedding. The peace of mind knowing that your baby or child is resting on non-toxic, chemical free bedding is worth more than words can describe.

Enjoy Your Organic Sleep!
