If you are worried about your baby’s thin skin absorbing the pesticides and fertilizers that can be found in non-organic baby bedding, you will want to purchase nursery bedding that is made from organic cotton.

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.

The organic sheep wool comes from sheep that have been raised organically, meaning on land that is not treated with pesticides or chemicals. To preserve the fertility of the land, the sheep are also regularly moved around.

Organic wool doesn’t have to be treated with chemicals to fireproove it, because it is naturally flame retardant. Without those harsh chemicals in the wool, the bedding ends up being so much softer than when conventional wool is used.

You can contribute to the green revolution by purchasing 100% organic crib bedding for your baby and reap the benefits of it being softer and more durable at the same time. Yes, purchasing organic will increase your expense considerably, but you can always get started with just a couple of sheets and a blanket, while still purchasing regular crib skirts and bumpers.

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.
