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?

Conventional baby nursery bedding is made white using chlorine bleach and colored using toxic dyes. Organic baby bedding manufacturers use non-toxic coloring agents.

The comforters, bumpers and pillows of organic baby bedding sets are typically stuffed with organic cotton or organic wool, which is resistant to the growth of bacteria and dust mites.

Organically raised sheep eat grasses from organic land and are constantly moved around to avoid overgrazing which could leave the farm land useless.

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.

If you are still not convinced, consider this. 90% of the pesticides used on non-organic farm land ends up in your water and your air through which it eventually enters your body. Do something good for your baby, your own body, and the earth.

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.
