Eco-Friendly Bedding
Being Green is so easy you can do it in your sleep, really! Many top home furnishings and housewares retailers are introducing environmentally friendly bedding, organic linens, pillows and even mattresses, making it a dream to go Green at home.
Natural Elements pillows, by Hollander Home Fashions, are filled exclusively with a soft and lofty fill made from up to 40 post-consumer recycled, green soda bottles and wrapped in a wonderfully soft non-dyed and unbleached 100% cotton fabric.
One of the excuses (we hear often) for not going Green at home is that environmentally friendly home and decor products can be expensive. Natural Elements’ pillows confirm that eco friendly products can be affordable, comfortable and made of high quality materials.Natural Elements is currently available at Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Home Goods with suggested retail prices ranging from $9.99 - $19.99.
All natural Pure Grow Wool- Premium Eco Wool organic pillows are made without bleaches, formaldehydes, dyes, pesticide treated materials or animal cruelty. The wool fill is wrapped in the fabric cover of your choice: muslin or organic cotton. Available at ecobedroom.com. Retail prices range from $39 to $103.
The Company Store’s Bamboo Goose Down Pillow is made with 600 to 650 fill power white goose down luxuriously wrapped in a 100% bamboo cover; proving that renewable and sustainable can also be comfortable. Retails from $62 to $100.
Magniflex, the Italian luxury mattress and bedding manufacturer, has introduced the GeoEthics collection -the world’s most advanced natural oil based memory foam mattress and bedding. The GeoEthics bedding collection is made with non-toxic, renewable and organic materials. Each mattress in the GeoEthic Collection has a core made of the new Memoform, which features aloe and castor plant oils in some models. The covers of the mattresses have different renewable fibers sourced from plant or marine life, including soy fiber in SoyGreen models, bamboo fiber in the EcoBamboo model, corn fiber in the Mais Prestige model, and algae fiber in the SeaCell Emotion. Mattress prices range from $2400 to $6500. Pillow prices from $159. Retailer locations available at magniflex.us.
Simmons’ Natural Care Line by Danny Seo is an eco-friendly mattress made from luxurious natural, renewable and sustainable materials with an affordable starting price of $1599. These environmentally friendly mattresses are made from natural latex which is a biodegradable material that is resilient and is naturally anti-microbial, hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold and mildew. The Natural Care mattresses will be available in JcPenney’s in late summer 2008.
BuyingGreen.com has 100% organic cotton and wool bedding ensembles starting at $799.
LoopOrganic.com offers fine organic linens made from certified organic cotton, using only gentle hydrogen-peroxide for whitening, and low-impact dyes for color linens. So Loop is able to eliminate toxic waste from the linens’ manufacturing process. We also like that they are a non-sweat shop company and practice fair trade.
Gaim.com shows that organic linens and sustainable bedding can also be colorful (using low eco-impact dyes) and beautiful with their Lucia Organic Bedding collection of sheets, pillows and duvet covers.

I think its great that you have a blog that pays some attention to the environment. I recently made a green website about ethanol, which can be used instead of gasoline to fuel most modern cars. We need to do whatever we can these days to help reduce our ecological footprint!
