Why should you use organic bedding?

We say WHY NOT? For the same reason that you choose organic milk, organic carrots, and organic shampoo. Organic bedding is beneficial for not only the environment but also you and your loved ones. Organic bedding like any other organic produce is manufactured without harmful chemicals. One of the best ways to ensure that you are purchasing top quality organic bedding products is to check the label for certifications. When shopping for organic bedding, the industry standard that guarantees products are made with top quality organic materials is the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).

“Your skin absorbs 64% of what you put on it”

If you are still unsure if making the switch to organic is worth the added costs, consider the following benefits of organic bedding for babies, toddlers, and the rest of the family:

Sustainability

From the seed to your bedding, organic cotton and linen are treated differently than conventionally grown fibers. Some of what makes organic better for the environment is obvious – no toxic pesticides, for instance, means cleaner soil, water, and air. Purchasing organic cotton supports more than just cotton, it affects the entire ecosystem of organic farming. While organic farming creates 60% less output of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases than conventional cotton. Also, organic cotton farming uses zero toxic pesticides ensuring a safe working environment for workers. 

Soft and Cozy 

The feel of organic cotton at its purest form is soft to the touch and delivers comfort like no other fabric. When you sleep on organic cotton sheets and pillowcases, they envelop your body throughout the night, wicking away excess moisture to keep you cool at night. Organic cotton is a breathable fabric, as opposed to synthetics that can trap heat and leave you feeling hot and sweaty.  

Wholesome Sleep 

Your bedding and mattress is the environment where you end your day and recharge. If you are sleeping on non-organic bedding, tossing and turning while you sleep results in repeated friction between your skin and your sleep surface. This simple action has the potential to expose your body to a cocktail of pesticides and dyes used in the harvesting and manufacturing process. When you sleep on Petit Clouds bedding, you can rest assured that your organic bedding sleep surface benefits your personal health.

Since babies and children being smaller, are especially sensitive to chemical treatments like pesticides, detergents, and formaldehyde-containing treatments. Petit Cloud’s organic cotton sheets and bedding, GOTS certified ideal because it is free from flame retardants, formaldehyde, and other harsh chemicals. Bedding is available in various sizes, for children as well as adults.
