Autumn has arrived, and summer has come to an end. The leaves will soon fall from the trees, and the holidays will be upon us before we know it. It's time to get ready for the forthcoming change of seasons. Traditionally, you could buy your comforter from a local home goods store, but did you know that comforters can contain flame retardants, polyester, petroleum-based fibre, lofting chemicals, fragrances, and other potentially hazardous chemicals?

Isn't that ridiculous? It's scary to think that all of these chemicals exist, and those of you who have one know how close our comforters are to our faces when we sleep. We sleep for about a third of our lives, or about 8 hours a day! Take into account all of the chemicals you breathe in while sleeping. Since manufacturers do such a good job of masking the odour, we don't notice it, but the chemicals used to produce these products can have long-term effects for you.

Apart from that, these comforters have damaged the environment and wreaked havoc on the lives of those who worked on them. Not to mention the long-term consequences for children and future generations as a result of the resulting environmental pollution.

Going natural is a better option for your own wellbeing, as well as the health of your community and family. myorganicsleep.com has a wide selection of all-natural and herbal bedding that you can enjoy and care for. Using Aliexpress offers, you can also get discounts on a range of comforters.

The following is a guide to help you choose the right comforter for you. Made in Australia Wool Comforter

1. Wool comforter made of 350-thread-count fine cotton sateen and 100-percent Australian eco-friendly wool.

So cuddle up in this natural wool comforter, which is both warm and eco-friendly, and drift off to sleep.

To make them fire resistant, many bedding fabrics are sprayed or treated with highly toxic fire retardant chemicals. The California EPA has listed most flame retardant chemicals as cancer causing or suspected cancer causing, which means they can cause everything from mild health issues like allergies to serious health issues like cancer.

Since the majority of fire retardants are proven to cause cancer or are suspected of causing cancer, their protection is important. Other unstudied symptoms of these chemicals include mild to extreme allergies, birth defects, Autism, ADHD, and other conditions. There is an easy solution as science catches up with logic: Wool comforters are a perfect alternative to big-box comforters that are laden with flame retardants.

Wool is a lifesaver since it is naturally flame retardant and does not need to be treated with toxic chemicals to prevent it from catching fire.

5. Pillowcases made from organic materials

Since they are made of organic cotton, some companies mark their comforters as organic. Others have produced organic cotton comforters that resemble polyester comforters, but they must be dry cleaned in most cases. This process is ineffective since the comforter would be infected by dry-cleaning chemical contamination.

As a result, Organic Textiles LLC recently released an all-organic quilted comforter with a box-stitch construction that can be washed on a regular basis. In a large home washer, this comforter can be washed and dried.
