Your Eco-friendly Bedroom: Lots of Choices with Green Mattress Lines and Organic Bedding to Create Your Green Sleeping Oasis.

More organic and eco-friendly gear is available every day, and, as they say – everything old is new again. A century ago, an organic bed was just a “bed,” but now we are coming full circle after our collective venture into synthetics and chemicals. Eco-bedding and green mattress lines are fresh and flourishing in the movement to help our planet and ourselves.

Eco-Beds and Bedding – Take Your Pick!
You have so many options for making your sleep environment healthy and natural. Organic bedding - from sheets, pillows, and blankets to mattress and duvet covers – comes in familiar favorite fabrics, like organic cotton and wool, as well as newer choices – organic cashmere, bamboo, flax, and hemp – and new approaches to the old favourites (like organic cotton jersey, sateen, and flannel). Natural mattresses, too, are going beyond the organic cotton and wool mattresses we’ve known. Now, you can find earth-friendly beds made with organic soy and natural latex foams, natural rubber, organic cotton stretch covers, untreated sustainable hardwoods, and organic flax, bamboo, and hemp. 

Know What to Look For
A bed and bedding are significant and substantial purchases, so it’s smart to know what you are looking for before actually buying. Keep these tips in mind while shopping for an eco-friendly bedroom:

• Read labels. Be sure you’re buying what you think you are buying. Remember, if it’s certified organic, it will say so on the label, and the certifier’s logo should be there, too.
• Know what you need. Did you know that organic wool is extremely absorbent and naturally fire-retardant and dust-mite resistant? That organic bamboo is deodorising, anti-bacterial, and anti-static? Make a list of what you need in a bed and bedding, and take that list along while you’re shopping.

• Know what you want. Love the cozy comfort of organic cotton flannel or the natural light silkiness of organic bamboo fabric? Find out what makes certain materials special, and pick what best suits you.

• Shop around. Thanks to online shopping, competitive pricing abounds – even with trendy environmentally friendly products. Do your homework, and you’ll find what you’re looking for at the best price possible.

What Makes a Green Bedroom Special?
An eco-friendly bedroom is special for what it’s missing: It hasn’t left behind a trail of chemicals from production and processing. It’s missing poisons for you to breathe in while you sleep. It also won’t spend eternity (or thereabouts) in a landfill. Good things to be missing. 

The eco-friendly movement is expanding into the bedroom. Green up your bedroom, and you’ll sleep soundly knowing you (and your bedroom) are doing your part for our planet.
