Organic Mattress Prices Going Up 1st Feb!!
Whilst things have been pretty bad out there, at buyOrganics we have tried to keep our prices of organic mattresses, organic pillows and bedding the same for as long as possible and absorb the rising costs ourselves.
From 1st Feb however we will have to charge VAT again, and although the UK VAT rate is currently 20% we won't be increasing all our prices by this amount, we will still try to absorb this cost as much as possible where possible. Some of our products may have to go up by this amount, but others will be only between 5- 10%. Unfortunately its unavoidable, but we'll try our best to keep the rise to a minimum.

Non-Toxic, Organic Pillow Safety For Babies
Eco friendly mums to be will be interested
to know the facts on organic pillow safety for babies. Some confusion exists about
whether babies under 1 years of age should have a pillow or not.
According to the FSID, (the charity that
helps prevent infant cot death), pillows, however eco friendly or organic are
not suggested for new-born babies and children under 1. Along with pillows,
never use duvets and quilts such as comforters, wedges and bedding rolls. These
are not to be confused with maternity pillows which are used for breast feeding
and propping up mum’s back.
Some parents buy baby pillows to try and
avoid a condition called ‘plagiocephaly’ which refers to the flattening of a
babies head, babies grow out of this over time and this can be easily avoided
by encouraging baby to play on their tummy in the day, a pillow is not
necessary.
Even though baby pillows are available
online, buyOrganics founder Sonia Kalia-Sagoo, re-iterates that “pillows and
duvets , even organic ones are only ok for babies/ children over 1 year old and
not before as a small baby can get trapped under a pillow or duvet and
suffocate.”
When you do eventually invest in a pillow, when your baby is over 1 year old and you think they need it, an organic baby pillow is better, as it contains no formaldehydes, bleaches, dyes, pesticide residues, plastics or VOC's or moulds...things you don't really want your child exposed to.
The best pillow to invest in is an organic wool child pillow. The wool content helps you child to have a restful and deeper sleep, than synthtic pillows that have negative chi energy.
