What is Natural, Organic Bedding?
Most people are familiar with the term "organic" when it comes to food. However, organic bedding is a somewhat newer concept. Organic fabrics and bedding are made from plant-based materials that are grown using sustainable farming practices without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals. You spend approximately 1/3 of your life sleeping! Which means organic and natural bedding are better for your health, in addition to being planet-friendly. The best organic bedding is made from natural materials such as cotton, Tencel (from eucalyptus) and wool. These materials can be produced using sustainable and renewable plant-based resources. At Healthier Homes, our mission is to provide quality home goods that are good for the planet and good for people, which also means we've searched high and low to ensure our bedding is naturally hypoallergenic and nontoxic... An excellent choice for people with allergies or sensitivities, as it is made from soft natural materials that allow your skin to breathe. Whether you're looking for a new mattress, pillow, or comforter, sustainable bedding is a great way to get a good night's sleep, while protecting the environment :)
What are the Benefits of Natural OEKO-TEX Bedding?
Your sheets and blankets are the most important part of your bedding; you spend 8 hours a day inside of them! But what makes natural and organic bedding different? And why should you consider switching to natural bedding? For starters, OEKO-TEX and organic bedding are both made without pesticides or other harmful chemicals that often provoke allergies, skin conditions and sensitivities. This means that they're better for both your health and the environment. Additionally, natural and organic bedding can be more durable than conventional bedding, meaning it will last longer and save you money in the long run. While cotton is soft and gentle on your skin, a blend of cotton and Tencel is softer when it comes to sheets. Why specifically a cotton and Tencel blend for bed sheets? Lyocell (aka Tencel, made from Eucayptus) offers a luxurious feel that's more durable than organic cotton alone. Not to mention, Tencel bedding is temperature regulating, helping to keep you cool in the summer and warm in winter while sleeping. Cheers to happy sleep!
Remember, a bedspread or duvet cover will normally take center stage in your bedroom. Play up interesting textures, patterns and bold colors by adding decorative pillows and throw blankets. Try to limit patterns to only one or two objects in the room, such as a few fun throw pillows with a wallpaper accent wall.
Once you have your bedding ensemble picked out, complete the look with an area rug that has complimentary colors and hues to create a polished designer bedroom look.
