DIY Natural Bedding
“We are a bedding parts supplier. We are here to enable you to make your own chemical free, natural bedding, be it pillows, mattresses, blankets, comforters, etc.” Because they are a parts supplier and not a mattress manufacturer, you make your own mattress with the materials you choose. It’s as simple as opening a big zippered bag, filling it with materials, and zipping it up. Or you can make your own completely from scratch with very natural materials in hard to find sizes. Componentsinclude wool from local farms, 100% natural latex, and GOTS certified organic fabric. She also offers sewing patterns for those who would like to save even more by sewing their own mattress ticking, and custom fire-retardant-free latex cuts for any DIY furniture project.

Open Your Eyes Bedding
This innovative website sells a unique method of making mattresses, pillows, chairs and whatever you want by filling tubular organic cotton pouches or pods with certified organic buckwheat hulls. Very inexpensive and something you can do yourself.
MosoNatural Air Purifying Bag
Air purifying pouches that contain all-natural bamboo charcoal, long used in Asia for air and water purification, and taken internally to detox the body. “We conducted research and testing and found that bamboo charcoal works incredibly well to remove odors, bacteria, harmful pollutants and allergens from the air. On top of that, it is a natural dehumidifier, helping to prevent mold, mildew and excess moisture… A Moso Bag typically lasts for two years as an air purifier, just place it in the sun once a month to rejuvenate. After the charcoal is exhausted as an air purifier, it is a wonderful addition to the garden. Cut open the bag and put the charcoal into your soil, where it promotes plant growth due to its mineral-rich nature and ability to retain moisture.” Bags come in three sizes: small for gym bags and lockers, medium for cars and closets, and large for spaces up to 250 square feet, such as kitchens, bedrooms, and offices.
Organic and Healthy
A well-chosen collection for a healthy bedroom, including Pacific Rim natural maple bedroom furniture; Pure-Rest latex and innerspring mattresses (made with natural latex, eco wool and organic cotton); Soaring Heart latex mattresses (made with organic latex, organic wool and organic cotton); Soaring Heart organic futons (various combinations of cotton, wool and latex); wood foundations and wood slat bed frames; and a full assortment of organic bedding including mattress toppers, cotton and wool mattress pads, pillows with half a dozen different natural fills, sheets, cotton and wool blankets, wool comforters, and barrier covers that protect mattresses, pillows and duvet covers from dust mites. “We bring you non-toxic, eco-friendly products that we have researched for use in our own home to protect our family, in hopes of helping you create a cleaner indoor environment for you and your loved ones.”
Organic and Healthy
The most non-toxic carpeting and area rugs on the market, made from 100% natural materials: Earth Weave’s Bio-Floor Collection and Nature’s Carpet “Dark Green” line. Also 100% natural wool carpet padding and 100% natural rubber rug grippers. “Wool carpeting is wonderful because the scales on wool fibers hold onto dirt until it is vacuumed away, which helps the carpet and your home stay cleaner. And these fibers absorb airborne pollutants, so wool carpeting can actually help clean the air in your home!” Plus wool carpet typically lasts 2 to 3 times as long as synthetics. “We bring you non-toxic products that we have researched for use in our own home to protect our family, in hopes of helping you create a cleaner indoor environment for you and your loved ones.”
Organic and Healthy
Family-tested solid wood bedroom furniture, organic futons, and affordable chemical-free sofas made from sustainably harvested wood with a low VOC finish or unfinished. Selections include maple beds and casegoods (dressers, night stands, wardrobes, bookshelves, desks, etc.) from Pacific Rim; ash beds and casegoods from Bedworks of Maine; futon sofas combining Bedworks of Maine ash/maple frames with Soaring Heart all-organic futons; and wood-frame modular sofas and tables from Carolina Morning. Cover fabrics are organic cotton; futons and cushions are filled with kapok, organic cotton, wool and/or latex. No fire retardant or stain-proofing chemicals applied. Also organic mattresses, a full assortment of organic bedding, chemical-free wool carpet and area rugs, air and water purifiers, and more. “We bring you non-toxic, eco-friendly products that we have researched for use in our own home to help you create a cleaner indoor environment for you and your loved ones.”
Good Night Naturals
“Just about everything natural and organic you could want to transform your bed and bath into an oasis of health, vitality and beauty.” Chemical-free organic mattresses, eco-friendly adjustable bed frames, organic wool comforters, pillows, latex mattresses, latex toppers, organic cotton sheets and luxury linens. Beautiful, high quality pieces made of natural-color and dyed organic cotton, PureGrow™ Wool, bamboo, lyocell (wood-pulp fiber and cotton blend) and other specialty natural fibers (check out their supersoft microcotton).
White Lotus Home
This is the site I recommend most for inexpensive natural fiber mattresses. “Handcrafted natural fiber mattresses, pillows, and accessories without toxic chemicals” since 1981. They make all-cotton mattresses without springs because “the use of steel in mattresses is responsible for enormous amounts of air and water pollution every year, not to mention the devastation that strip mining has on the land where coal and iron ore are extracted.” In addition, each and every mattress has been made entirely by hand. “I can put a mattress-crafter in a room with a natural fabric mattress case, a bale of cotton, a needle, some thread, and just her two hands, and she will come out with a 100% handmade mattress that is more comfortable, more supportive, will not poison the earth or the sleeper and costs less than $300.” Made from “green” cotton scrap fibers (they are too short to spin for textiles) which have had had no chemical processing after harvesting–no bleaching, fungicides or dyes. They also make pillows filled with kapok, buckwheat, wool, buckwheat/wool, or organic cotton, wool toppers, and “The Stowaway”–a smaller version of their mattress that can be rolled up, tied, and carried for an exercise mat or traveling. Also organic cotton sheets, 100% cotton mattress pads, and bedroom furniture. ”The environmental stewards at White Lotus believe that if the cost of saving the earth and protecting one’s health was out of reach for most people’s budgets, true progress would never be made. For that reason, in part, White Lotus is very efficient with resources and keeps its prices where almost everyone can take part in making the world a better place.” 100% of their energy is supplied by wind power. When you call to place an order, tell them I sent you.

Carolina Morning
Go beyond organic with a bed system that uses a unique combination of natural materials to optimize the body’s regenerative energy during rest and sleep. Pieces include a futon made of supportive (yet resilient) organic kapok/wool, modular platform bedframe, buckwheat pillows, organic kapok pillows, supportive pillows for reading in bed, eye pillows, and body pillows. They also make a quantum calming mat that enhances deep rejuvenative sleep, protects from EMFs and cell phone radiation, increases body circulation, protects from pests (bedbugs, mold, dust mites, fleas), provides ‘grounding’ similar to walking barefoot on the earth, and much more (recommended for home use and travel). All are manufactured in their small factory in the mountains of North Carolina.
Living Fresh Collection
Beautiful all-natural bed linens that enhance your sleep experience, made from sustainable fabric. FRESH in the name stands for “Fabric Redefining Environmental Standard in our Home.” The fabric is Tencel-Plus, made from cotton and cellulose from eucalyptus trees, which makes the fabric resist dust mites naturally (I’ve slept on these sheets and they don’t smell like eucalyptus). All natural substances are used in processing raw materials into fibers.
