Organic Mattresses and Bedding

Companies who manufacture down comforters (also known as duvets) usually recommend washing them every five years if necessary. You want to be careful to not wash them that often, as it can damage the clusters. Washing it can also shrink your duvet about 3% to 5%.

Because duvets don’t actually need to be cleaned that often, we really recommend that their cleaning be done by a dry cleaner or a commercial laundry service that has experience in cleaning down comforters.

To simply do a spot clean on your duvet, follow these instructions:

1. Shift the down filling away from the area you are going to spot clean.
2. Use a mild soap or spot remover and gently rub it into the spot that needs cleaning.
3. Rinse well with water while avoiding getting the down filling wet.
4. Use a hair dryer to dry the duvet.

If your kids love animals (and if you love beautiful design) then check out this duvet and bedding set by Dwell Studios. The bedding boasts a pattern inspired by toys of the 1960′s and colors inspired by Italian designer Gio Ponti’s interiors in Italy.

These gorgeous and modern designs from Dwell will brighten your child’s room and inspire them to creativity. This set also features 100% brushed cotton canvas which is a soft yet durable material.

Take a look at the Natura Organic Comfort wool-filled mattress topper! It can give you a super soft layer of organic cotton covered with a certified 100% organic Pima cotton sateen cover. These kinds of mattress toppers are put between your mattress and sheets, and the organic fill inside it will wick away moisture – keeping your bedding fresh, dry and allergen-free.

Mattress toppers, or mattress pads as they are sometimes called, have many uses, including making your current mattress softer, more hypo-allergenic, and generally they are easier to clean than a mattress. They are also particularly adept at keeping your body temperature more regular as you sleep, which is indispensable if you are someone who gets too hot, or too cold while you sleep.
