wow theyre beautiful! thanks for the post Alicia... they really are an investment, not only in quality bedding, but also your health and the planet. :)

I think it's a good idea. It is for your health benefit for sleeping and relaxing.

Don't hate on Alicia!

 

I found awesome <a href="http://www.edenhome.com/c-590-organic-sheets.aspx">organic sheets</a> at www.edenhome.com and they were on sale for like 35% off, which made them way more affordable.  The coyuchi sheets were still regular price but had free shipping which we couldn't find anywhere else.  We're going to try the ones we got first and see how it works out, I hear that organic cotton isn't as brittle so it lasts longer, which might bring the total price for the more expensive sets down to something that I can justify.

Andy, Thanks for the link, these look awesome. I just ordered organic bamboo bedding from midori linen. I bought a towel set from them at a local flea market stall here in NYC and the guy was so sweet and informative about their products. So I did a bit of research and splurged on a sheet set from their website. I am so excited for them to get here!!! It's all about great sleep for me and bedding has so much to do with that. I spent $130 on the whole sheet set.....eeeek! A splurge for me but worth it. Much love!

Tali,

I've heard that organic bamboo is really soft but I just have a hard time imagining that such a hard plant could be comfortable to sleep on.  My wife and I honeymooned in Thailand and spent a few nights on the bamboo floors of huts, NOT comfortable.  I'd love to hear how your's turn out, I've heard of midori but never had any of their products.

Pink Solution - for washing those fancy sheets - can be eaten (i think you figure out a way to budget on the other stuff that's just not that important if you really want some of the nice stuff)

Pink Solution is a natural enzyme cleaner, which when mixed with water, emulsifies dirt, grease and grime, and restores finishes to their natural state. This means that it will not only clean, but will actually brighten surfaces that most cleaners dull, such as stainless steel appliances and fiberglass bath and shower stalls. The enzymes will emulsify even the oldest stains, which means that so long as there are not permanent dyes involved, even the oldest of laundry and carpet stains will be removed. Also, it contains no chemicals, and can be inhaled, eaten and used without any gloves, with no ill effects.

Andy, Oh my, these sheets are the softest sheets i have ever slept on! I think it's something to do with how the bamboo is woven into fabric. It has a slight satin feel to it. Also it is naturally anti-microbial, biodegradable, and stays cool in the summer. I tend to get really hot when I sleep on cotton and so far I have slept really well with these. I definitely recommend them. So far I am only familiar with midori but I am liking them a lot. Also, I bought the natural color bamboo sheets which are white which can be kind of a pain to keep clean but my boyfriend and I love the feeling of clean crisp white sheets. Anyway, I read online that to clean bamboo sheets, all you need is half cup of baking soda on a gentle cycle. No fabric softener or anything! Pretty neat!.

@CW, that Pink Solution sounds amazing! Will be looking into it for sure.
