Organic cotton bedding 'has numerous benefits'


Organic cotton bedding could be set to grow in popularity among homeowners, after one writer noted such products offer a multitude of advantages.

In an article for Helium, Dr Pandula Siribaddana noted the use of natural materials in the bedroom could help to reduce the number of allergens that are present, as they do not contain "any chemical fertilisers, hormones or any other synthetic toxic agents".

Additionally, he stated organic linen is better at maintaining body temperature, which means "comfort levels of these materials would be higher in comparison to synthetic versions".

Dr Siribaddana added natural bedding can be recycled more easily and is environmentally-friendly due to the lack of chemicals in the items.

And Britons inspired by the expert's comments may want to head to buyOrganics, where there is a wide range of organic cotton linens available for homeowners.

These include mattress protectors, blankets, throws, pillows and duvets from brands such as Fou Furnishings and Boomarang.
