to keep in mind as you create your own eco- friendly bedroom:
• Pillows: Organic cotton, wool, or rubber pillows provide superior support along with protection from dust mite allergens, and can offer real relief to allergy and asthma sufferers.
• Sheets: Made without dyes or chemical bleaches, organic sheets are softer and gentler to your skin, and kinder to the environment.
• Blankets: All-natural blankets and pure wool comforters keep you warm and cozy without overheating, thanks to fibers that breathe.
• Furniture: Non-toxic and sustainable solid- wood furniture (like a bed frame, nightstand, dresser, armoire, and mirror) are smart and sensible additions that won’t off-gas harmful pollutants.
• Air Purifiers: According to the U.S. Envi- ronmental Protection Agency, “the air within homes and other buildings can be more seri- ously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities” and a HEPA air purifier or furnace filter helps refine and clean your air.
• Rugs: Keep your body healthy and happy from your toes on up with cozy and earth- friendly organic cotton throw rugs.
• Pet Beds: Make sure your four-legged friends sleep as well as you do with the little luxury of an organic or all-natural pet bed.
