So you’ve been thinking about whether you should purchase organic baby bedding sets. Here is some information that might just convince you to do so. For example, did you know that your baby’s skin is five times thinner than yours and therefore easily absorbs the pesticides and fertilizers than can be found in non-organic bedding?
Even after conventional cotton is harvested, the baby bedding manufacturers use chlorine bleach and toxic dyes to achieve bright whites are varies colors, while organic crib bedding manufacturers use only non-toxic coloring agents.
In organic comforters, bumpers and pillows, not only the outer shell is organic, but also the stuffing made from organic cotton or organic sheep wool. The sheep wool provides resistance to the growth of bacteria and dust mites.
The organic sheep wool comes from sheep that have been raised organically, meaning on land that is not treated with pesticides or chemicals. To preserve the fertility of the land, the sheep are also regularly moved around.
Another benefit of organic wool is that it is naturally flame retardant and therefore doesn’t require any chemical fireproofing. Because it doesn’t need to be treated with harsh pesticides, is is also softer than no-organic wool.
You can do your part for making this earth a little greener and benefit from the softness and durability of purchasing 100% organic baby bedding at the same time. Organic bedding does cost more, but with the health and comfort of your baby at risk, it’s a no-brainer. To get started on a budget consider purchasing only the sheets and blankets organic and the crib skirt and bumper, etc. non-organic.
Did you know that only 10% of the pesticides used in conventional cotton farming ends up on the cotton crops? The other 90% end up in other plants, soil, water, and air, and with that end up in our bodies.
More manufacturers of organic products and specifically baby nursery bedding come into existence every day and therefore your purchase choices are constantly increasing. There are plenty of designs to choose from whether you prefer solid white or cream colors, or some abstract or whimsical designs.
