Organic Cotton

Fortunately, for all of us concerned with our health and the environment, pioneer farmers took matters into their own hands. They brought new methods to cotton farming, producing what can now be proudly displayed as organic cotton. More farmers are seeing the light every year. Certified organic cotton earns its label by being grown in soil where the use of pesticides has been discontinued for at least three years. Compost and other organic matter enrich the soil, and weeds are controlled by innovative farm machinery and old-fashioned hand-to-earth labor. Farmers utilize frequent crop rotation and beneficial insects to further assist the crops without the use of herbicides. In The Earthsake Natural Bedroom Program, we've taken advantage of the growing amount of certified organic cotton to bring you a safer, better night's sleep.

With farmers using more pesticides and herbicides than ever, it's a good time to go natural. In The Earthsake Natural Bedroom, we've done just that. Because of the recent ecological efforts of select cotton farmers, we can now offer certified organic cotton that is pure and natural in its entirety.

For those who prefer the somewhat firmer feel of cotton, we carry The Earthsake Natural Bedroom pillows with 100% organic cotton fill. The shell is made of green cotton, which, although not certified, is still unbleached, untreated, undyed and formaldehyde-free. In addition to our pillows, you'll find Sonoma PureGrow Wool™ wrapped organic cotton in our mattresses, providing support and breathability. Cotton is a strong fiber, and we value it for that. Now, however, with the introduction of all-natural organic cotton, we value it for being environmentally conscientious, too. It's just another component of our dedication to health and comfort.
