Snuggle into organic sheets
If you're treating yourself to a lie-in during the festive season, why not upgrade to some organic bedlinen?
Sites like Natural Collection [www.naturalcollection.com] and So Organic [www.soorganic.com] have a great range of pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets made out of organic cotton and bamboo, as does Fou Furnishings [www.foufurnishings.com].
The entire Fou Furnishings collection is made from 100% organic cotton in luxurious, 330, 400 and 475 thread counts, with their bed linens fabrics woven with long-staple cotton fibres, which are inherently strong and soft but will withstand frequent laundering and still look good.
Three of their ranges are certified by the UK Soil Association - the remainder are Oeko-Tex certified, a guarantee of the quality and skin friendly pH value of the bed linen.
Special attention to sourcing, finishing and testing ensure the organic bed linen you buy from them will not only bring you luxury and style, but also affordable, natural and lasting quality which is considerate to your skin, the environment and the people involved in making it.
Cotton is the most polluting crop in the world, according to the Pesticide Action Network - so sleeping in a chemical-free environment might be your best bet to a chemical-free 2009.
