Allergy/Chemical Free Bedding Info.

[Guest guest]

Okay, I did some homework/detective work to find my son (6/Aspergers) some

decent bedding that is not chemically treated (i.e. flame resistant)

or containing dyes. It wasn't easy, but recently received a flyer from

the chain retailer Bed Bath & Beyond that was advertising (on sale) a new

product called " All Natural " bedding. This bedding claimed to be all

natural,

100% cotton, chemical, dye, irritant and allergy free. I couldn't believe

it!

Doubtful, I checked it out for myself and it's true. A quick call to the

company

who makes it (Louisville Bedding Co. in Kentucky) says the products are

completely

natural and the threads in the products are undyed and unbleached and the

final product is NOT chemically treated in any way.

So, I went out and bought two pillows, pillowcases, mattress pad, comforter

and sheets

for my son. They weren't cheap, but not outrageous either. The color is

off-white and a bit

uneven (hence the no-dye), but they are soft and well-made. I understand

they can also

be bought online if there is no store near you at: www.bedbathandbeyond.com.

Wash

them first in warm water without bleach, of course.

Hope this helps anyone who was looking for such bedding! I'm also going to

buy the

Land's End cotton long johns to replace his regular pjs. They are 100%

cotton, snug-fitting

but NOT chemically treated. Keep in mind that the pj's that say " flame

resistant " have been

treated with chemicals.

P.S. I'm going to cross-post this to some other boards I belong to, so

sorry if you are

reading this twice!
