Organic cotton bedding

Nowadays, the modern men and women must have different concerns when choosing and buying bedding, the emphasis should be given to three main issues: comfort, purity and earth-friendliness. Organic cotton materials ensures comfort and purity. These 100% natural material associated with certified production procedures give guarantees that the bedding is free from toxic chemicals and in harmony with nature.

The white organic cotton is still the most familiar type. Few people are familiar with the natural color cotton. Similar to white, it grows and is harvested without pesticides or fertilizers. And as the name implies, its color is genuine, does not need chemicals to be dyed white, like the traditional variety.

The natural cotton includes a wide range of earth tones, ranging from cream-colored nut, through sage, avocado, rust and mauve. These tones vary widely depending on the soil where cotton was planted and also how was the weather during its maturation. When this variety is mixed with white, there are still new shades.

Because of its extremely gentle touch, natural cotton is ideal for making children's clothes (especially for babies) and bedding for nurseries and home. Has anti-allergic characteristic and is more resistant to abrasion and tears.

Cotton and Linen Bedding: Buying Guide

When buying cotton linen and bedding a style and comfort aware person knows that many factors must be considered and evaluated: fabric quality and thread count, color and pattern, wrinkle free fabric or not. The next advices may help you in this task.

Different fabrics

Fabric can be man-made and natural. Natural fabrics examples are cotton (extracted from cotton plant) and linen (extracted from flax plant). Natural fabrics are many tomes called organic and environment friendly fabrics. Almost all organic fabrics are hypoallergenic and allow to breath better. However, linen and cotton fabric gets wrinkles very easily. The artificial fabrics can be completely synthetic or a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers. These synthetic fabrics are not so prone to wrinkles and are much more mold resistant.

Fabric Thread Count

Softness and resistance of any fabric is measured by thread count. Thread count measures the number of threads in one square inch of the fabric. You will find bed linen from 80 to 1500. Usually, an higher thread count results in a more soft fabric, however, also makes the fabric less durable. A reasonable choice for the thread count range between 200-300.

Color and Pattern

Nowadays we can find bedding in multiple colors and patterns and the choice should be made based on bedroom style, target environment and personal taste. Don't forget that your bedroom decor, which includes color of curtains, style of pillow covers, rugs and furniture, must blend harmoniously. And mainly, the sheets and bedspreads must transform your bedroom decor from ordinary to timeless.
