Organic Wool Ranks # 1 in Organic Crib Bedding

Organic Wool Ranks # 1

While there are many types of "natural" materials used in natural bedding, we find wool to be the best. It ranks far above all other products (including cotton and down bedding) in it's ability to resist dust mites. Even products that are labeled "hypoallergenic" (including down products that have undergone massive wash techniques to get rid of the dust and even synthetic hypo products) will not be able to be dust mite free for long. Once you take it home, it will naturally attract dust mites.
Now let's examine the ecological footprint of wool. There is a great difference between domestic wool and wool that is imported. Many of the larger natural bedding companies use wool that has come from New Zealand and Australia. This outsourcing has depressed the sheep farming community for years due to cheap importing of foreign wool. Where you spend your money makes a difference- so be sure to buy bedding made with domestic wool. Our company uses wool that comes from our local Pacific Northwest bio-region. Another factor that makes wool the best is proces in which wool is taken from the animal. Down bedding comes from the meat industy. The bird is used for it's meat while the feathers are plucked for bedding. Sheep however, are not harmed in the process of shearing and they grow a coat of fleece annually.
Lastly, we find wool to be superior in it's cozy quality and it's ability to regulate your body temperature. There is just something about wool that has people fall in love with it.
Natural wool is a traditional fill, used in bedding throughout the ages. Our grandmothers knew the many benefits that wool provides.
o Wool resists bacteria.
o Wool is fire resistant.
o Wool is cool in the summer yet warm in the winter.
o Unlike bedding that uses plucked down feathers, a sheep grows a coat of wool annually and is not harmed during sheering.
o Wool surpasses synthetic fill in terms of quality and durability.
o Unlike down bedding which shifts over time (ie. bare spots in a comforter), wool stays in place.
o Wool is a sustainable product helping small farmers make a living.
o With proper care your woolen bedding can last for decades.

Crib Bedding

Why it's so important to use organic crib bedding.
Physicians and other health professionals are becoming more and more aware of the possible effects these toxic chemicals and the increased numbers in childhood disorders as well as SIDS. Infants spend an average of 12 hours a day in their cribs and could be sleeping on a mattress that contains harmful toxic chemicals. Your family's bedding is also treated with formaldehyde and harsh industrial fire retardant chemicals. These chemicals can accumulate in your blood and cause respiratory problems as well as cancer. There are no requirements on labeling these chemicals that pollute air, cause asthma and learning disorders. www.toddlerbeddingexpress.com

Organic Cotton, Healthy Crib Bedding

About Organic Cotton
25% of the world̢۪s pesticides are sprayed on cotton, causing devastation to our land, air, water and the health of people living in conventional cotton-growing areas. The simple act of growing and harvesting the one-pound of cotton fiber needed to make a T-shirt takes an enormous toll.
When cotton is grown organically, it is done without the use of chemicals or harmful pesticides. Sustainable and organic growing methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improving the quality of the soil, using less water and helping to prevent groundwater pollution. Organic farmers rely on crop rotation to replenish and maintain soil fertility. Mechanical cultivation and botanical or biological means are used to control pests and weeds.
A field must be pesticide-free for at least three years to be certified organic, and the cotton must be processed according to international organic standards.
The standards also set strict guidelines for transportation and storage to avoid cross-contamination. In the U.S., cotton labeled as organic has to be certified by an independent agency recognized by the USDA's National Organic Program.  www.toddlerbeddingexpress.com
