To begin with, what do we mean if we speak of organic? Scientifically speaking, organic would mean anything that has carbon within it’s chemical structure. But if we took he word “organic” literally or scientifically, it would mean all bedding are organic. In most of our minds though, organic is something natural and not synthetic. When we talk about organic baby bedding, a natural and fresh picture comes into mind.
Organic Baby Bedding
Actually, the word, organic baby bedding has been derived from organic cotton. Did you know that there are two types of cotton, one is synthetic cotton and the other is organic cotton. Synthetic cotton is the cotton that had been genetically modified to repel pests before harvest, while organic cotton has been grown without the use of genetic modification. The difference between the two is actually insignificant when it comes to use in making a baby boy bedding set. It’s almost the same as the difference in using treated and untreated wood to make children’s bunk beds. However, not all materials used to make baby boy bedding have the same properties.
Bedding may be filled with a variety of things. The three most common are down, cotton, and wool. Wool is taken from sheep’s coat. It’s completely natural, provides very good comfort and warmth. Perfect for counties with four seasons. However it’s much expensive than its alternatives. Down on the other hand provides the best insulation. But when wet, it provides the poorest insulation. Cotton, is commonly non-allergenic, anti-bacterial, and fairly warm. It’s the perfect choice for tropical countries. The non-organic material used in making bedding might be thought of to be polyester. In actuality, polyester might be made of a combination of polyester and either cotton or wool.
So the next time you opt to consider buying organic bedding, you might pause for a second to think over if there really is such a thing or is it just a popular term made to sound better.
