Why Organic Cotton?
Two words come to mind when that question is asked ... health
and the environment!
100%
certified organic cotton bedding has had no formaldehyde
finishes applied,
no pesticide
residue, no
toxic
flame-retardants,
no dioxins from bleaching, and colors are produced using
low-impact environmental dyes. And because
organic agriculture doesn't use toxic, persistent pesticides,
choosing organic cotton is an easy way to help protect
your family and generations to come.
Approximately 25% of all of the insecticides used
in the world are applied to cotton, making conventional
cotton farming one of agriculture’s most environmentally
destructive activities since these toxins leach into
waterways and find their way into animals, as well as our
food and
children. And the overall amount and intensity of chemical
use per acre is increasing every year!
The $300-billion global cotton industry uses more pesticides
and synthetic fertilizers than any other crop. Amazingly, it
takes roughly one-third of a pound of chemicals (pesticides
and fertilizers) to grow enough conventional cotton for just
one T-shirt!
Seven of
the top 15 pesticides used on cotton grown in the U.S.
in the year 2000 are listed by the EPA as "possible," "likely," "probable," or "known" human
carcinogens. Organic agriculture
protects the health of people and the planet by reducing
the use of toxic chemicals
from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers that pollute
the ground, air, water and food supply... toxins associated
with
serious health consequences including asthma, Alzheimer's
disease, liver and kidney damage, reproductive disorders
and a multitude of cancers,
to name just a few. |

Organic
Cotton Sheets and Bedding
330
thread count, long staple, silky-soft
Pure-Rest's
organic cotton sheets are wonderfully soft
and silky, rivaling many sheets with thread counts of
1000! They are carefully
manufactured from hand-picked, long staple certified organic
cotton grown in India, where cotton grows best. Hand picking
yields fiber without dark specs, so no chemicals are needed
to clean the fiber.
The
organic cotton is
expertly woven using a natural method that produces fabric
that is sturdy, yet luxuriously smooth and soft to the
touch. Unlike many sateen and percale sheets manufactured
from shorter
fibers,
the
long
staple threads
used in Pure-Rest's sateen and damask sheets produce a product
that will last for years!
- Fitted
sheets have fully covered natural elastic and a deep 15" pocket.
- Pillowcases
and shams feature a European-style back opening for a fine,
finished appearance.
- Colored
sheets are produced with low-impact environmental dyes.
- White
sheets are dioxin-free...bleached using peroxide,
