The Importance of Using Organic Sheets All Around Your Home
What would you say if you were invited to sleep on dirty contaminated matter instead of your luxurious mattress? What would you say if you were told that your plush mattress filling and your bed sheets could be full of carcinogenic substances that you are inhaling and absorbing through your skin while you are sleeping? Most people would be surprised that in spite of all their efforts they are still in the midst of harmful chemicals.
Organic Sheets - The Advantages of Using Them
You will find organic sheets anywhere you generally shop - online or offline. However do not buy them because you are told they are great and promote good health; buy them only when you understand how the organic sheets do that.
The regular sheets used by most people are a 1:1 ratio mix of cotton and polyester. The cotton used is here is obtained from the regular cotton harvesting sources while the polyester is an artificial fiber created by humans. The mix gives sheets that can breathe and an excellent wash-and -use property which cuts the ironing and maintenance time.
The cotton that goes into the bed sheets you are sleeping on is not organically grown. That means that it would be exposed to an immense amount of fertilizer and pesticides (chemical) since cotton is one of the crops which is intensively treated with chemicals throughout its harvesting. As a result, the fertilizer stays on through the processing and end up in your bedroom waiting for you to inhale it o absorb it through your skin.
The other ingredient in the regular bed sheets is the polyester. This is an artificial fiber created artificially, which contains phthalates - a residue from the petrochemicals from where it is made. This particular element has chemicals that copy estrogen (female hormone) which can be instrumental in causing cancer and infertility in men.
Organic sheets on the other hand are made out of 100 per cent organically grown cotton. This means you would have a few more wrinkles on your bed sheet - but you would be assured that you are breathing clean air bereft of any harmful chemical elements. The organic sheets are invaluable in your nursery where your baby's skin is too tender to be exposed to the roughness of some of the worst chemicals on earth.
Now, based on the explanation given above, you can tell for yourself whether using organic sheets is worth the effort or not.
