Question from Lisa
Hi Debra, I appreciate all the research you are doing to provide safe alternative products for all. Do you know of organic bedding, matresses and toppers, that are “vegan friendly”, that do not use silk or wool?
Thank you very much,
Lisa
Debra’s Answer
Check Debra’s List: Textiles: Beds & Bedding recommendations. Nearly all the recommended companies have mattresses and bedding made from organic cotton.
You might consider wool if it has been sheared in a “friendly” way. I’ve read that some wool is a byproduct of sheep slaughtered for meat and there is cruelty in the handling of sheep in the wool industry.
But I know for a fact that some wool (such as the wool used by Shepherd’s Dream) is sheared from the living animal in a humane way. Not all wool comes from “the wool industry.”
