Maybe you never considered making your bedroom more eco-friendly.  There are several benefits to designing your bedroom using green principles.  The environment in your room will be healthier and you just may get a better night’s sleep.

Here are some suggestions for eco-friendly products for the bed from Sunset magazine:

  • Bedframes and headboards made from sustainable woods like bamboo.
  • Matresses that contain wool, which is naturally fire resistant, and don’t need to be treated with chemical fire retardants.
  • Pillows made from natural, untreated fibers like wool, cotton and kapok.
  • Linens made from organic fabrics are chemical-free and pesticide-free.
