Dedicated Email: You’re Feeling Veerrry Sleepy

Filed Under Dedicated Emails | October 7, 2008

Sleep, that very thing that’s supposed to be restorative and good for our health, isn’t always as safe as it could be. Which is why local online retailer SleepySheep offers environmentally safe, luxurious wool bedding that’s designed to make your sleep both comfier and healthier! There’s more and more info in the news on the scary chemicals you’ll find in conventional mattresses – creepy sounding things like toluene, phthalates, antimony and biocides that off-gas and are being linked to childhood disorders such as cancer, ADHD and even SIDS – things you wouldn’t want in your environment let alone your body, or your kids’ bodies.

Kids, whose vital organs and immune systems depend more heavily on their environment when they’re developing, absorb more chemicals than we do. They also spend about half their day sleeping (hopefully!) in their beds which is why chemical-free bedding alternatives sound awfully good. But while organic mattresses can cost a schwack, wool overlays, at a fraction of the price, still insulate them from mattresses using petrochemical materials.

And healthy sleep isn’t just important for kids. How much easier is a day of parenting when you’re rested and feeling fine? Good sleep boosts our immune system, helps our bodies regenerate and heal and helps us manage stress.  Wool bedding helps combat night sweats and hot flashes due to its moisture wicking abilities that keep you dry and at a comfortable temperature. It’s also not hospitable to dust mites and blocks off-gassing, making for better sleeps for those with asthma or other respiratory ailments.

SleepySheep offers a whole range of environmentally safe, durable, comfy, anti-microbial bedding including duvets, pillows and overlays.  Their duvets come covered in natural and organic cotton as well as bamboo. So why not snuggle up safely when it’s time to update your bedding?

Right now SleepySheep has great fall savings on bamboo covered wool duvets, all the better to keep you cosy and safe.

Oh yeah, most of their products – duvets excepted – are machine-washable. All the better to deal with any off-gassing your child might do while potty training or facing the flu.
