Looking for organic linens or towels? Here's your primer

Author: Chris Chamberlin, Co-owner, The Clean Bedroom organic mattresses, bedding & information

If you're in the market for organic sheets or towels, you're probably like a lot of our customers: confused by all the jargon. You'll find labels on linens that say: organic, natural, green, eco-friendly. What should you buy? Why are they so expensive? If they say organic, why are they so cheap?

I found an article to help you get a little more educated.

Organic Linens
A primer on selecting organic bedding and towels
Contributed by Kayleen Hanna of Sew Eco-Logical

The article was published on the Organic Trade Association's O'Mama Report. You'll find helpful definitions, care of organic sheets and towels, explanations of various types of sheets: percale, sateen, damask, flannel, jersey. Very helpful.

Let me know what you think.
