organic sheets keep girlawhirl green in '08
Jan 17, 2008

Taking the greening of her home one step further, Girlawhirl's decided to purchase sheets made from organically grown and eco-friendly fabrics. She recently heard that using sheets made from conventionally grown cotton meant that she was surrounded by pesticide residue and other chemicals as she slept. And while a quick web search put that fear to rest - as long as her conventionally grown cotton sheets haven't been treated with anti-wrinkle finishes that contain formaldehyde or silicone sizing - she still likes the idea of sleeping on sheets that are good for the earth…

And it's a perfect time to buy because it's the time of the year for White Sales and lots of places are introducing their new spring home collections. One of Girlawhirl's favorite spots for bedding, Garnet Hill, has just introduced organic cotton sheets at excellent prices. Check out what Girlawhirl found as she searched for organic and other eco-friendly bedding:

 

• With the introduction of Garnet Hill's organic bedding, Girlawhirl can step  -and sleep - softly into the world of organic sheets. The Terra Comfort Organic Percale Bedding is not much more expensive than the sheets she usually purchases here and since they're sold separately, rather than in sets, she can mix them with some of her old favorites as she likes. The organic collection is rounded out with organic down comforter covers and pillow cases and an organic cotton jacquard blanket.

• These Organic Cotton Sateen Sheet Sets give Girlawhirl a different set of options. The sateen weave creates a smoother feel, but they're a little pricier and sold only in sets.

• For over the top luxury, along with an over the top price, the Bellissimo Italian Linens sold at Anna Sova are something Girlawhirl dreams about. They're 460 thread count and made in Italy using old world finishing techniques. No toxic fertilizers or pesticides were used to grow the cotton and the fabric hasn't been treated with dioxin bleaches, optical whiteners or heavy metal dyes.
