Organic bedding is produced with minimal damage to the environment and doesn’t use chlorine bleach, chemical softeners and synthetic dyes hat can do much harm to the environment; organic bedding uses low-impact dyes to create rich, vibrant colours and no bleaches or softeners. 24% of the world’s total insecticides, including over 100 nerve poisons are used on cotton – it is the most heavily sprayed crop in the world.   Cotton production and processing causes considerable environmental damage and the toxic chemicals used remain in the finished product.   Sheep reared conventionally are dipped in chemical solutions containing organophosphates – these have proven health risks.

Not only is organic, cotton bedding lovely to sleep on, it is just one way of reducing exposure to a range of toxic chemicals and may also be helpful for those with allergies and sensitivities.
