Organic bedding is free from fire-retardant chemicals, so (as with everyone): avoid smoking, candles, overloading plugs (don’t leave phones or laptops on beds) and avoid convector heaters.

Safe sleeping for babies

• Never use cot bumpers, and avoid pillows (some say up to age two).
• Lullaby Trust has info on sleeping for babies (avoid overheating with clothes, hats or blankets etc – read more on safe nurseries).
• One lightweight blanket doubled over counts as two (this could increase overheating). Air trapped between layers increases warmth.
• The trust recommends indoor temperatures between 16°C and 20°C. Check a baby’s temperature on the chest or back.

Also makes organic cotton towel bales

This brand also makes lovely soft organic cotton towel bales, alongside casual organic cotton clothing like t-shirts and sweatshirts.

If rescuing wildlife, always use towels without tassels, to avoid them trapping on paws and claws.
