Natural and Organic Bedding

Do you know the difference between organic bedding and natural bedding? For White Lotus Home products the difference is that our organic bedding products are made with 100% organic materials that are certified organic and are made in the USA. All our organic fabrics and fibers are 100% certified organic and grown in the USA. Our organic sheets, organic mattresses and organic pillows are made with 100% organic materials. On top of this all our organic bedding products are handcrafted in the USA, the room where our organic mattresses, pillows and duvets are handcrafted, is cleansed twice a month with chemical free cleaners. The room is aired out and all dust particles are removed with our humidifier, vacuums etc...these extremes guarantees that your White Lotus Home organic bedding is as free of chemicals as possible. All our organic and natural bedding products are handmade one at a time by local artisans. Please send your questions to us at sales@whitelotus.net or post them here.

Summer is near, remember to make sure your organic and natural bedding get the fresh air it needs. Opening the windows in your bedroom will help keep your natural White Lotus mattress fresh and last longer. We always recommend using a mattress pad to protect all mattresses and only spot cleaning your natural or organic toppers and mattresses. White Lotus Home offers many natural and organic sleeping options. We have beed doing this since 1981, so if you have a specific sleeping environment you are trying to accomplish, please send us a note and we can tell you how you can reach that naturally and organically. Send your inquiries to: sales@whitelotus.net.

Summer is near, do not forget to air your natural and organic mattresses, pillows and bedding. If you own a White Lotus Home organic mattress or a natural mattress, do not forget that natural fibers need to breath in order to last longer. Know that you can flip your mattress, open the windows and let the fresh air and sunlight hit your natural mattress. Have a great Summer and let us know if you have questions at sales@whitelotus.net

Hi White Lotus!!! I wanted to let you know how happy I am with my body pillow. It makes sleeping so much more comfortable especially since I am 6 months pregnant! Unfortunately my husband is getting a little jealous but as a pregnant woman I need a good nights sleep and I definitely get it with my body pillow! Thanks!!!!!

Natural bedding is a smart choice for everyone... I am so glad to see more and more people involved in saving the Earth and becoming GREEN. If you are thinking about making your bedding more natural and organic but do not want to do a whole makeover, there are many ways you can create a natural and safer living environment with out making a large investment. You try one of our kapok pillows (my favorite) or a wool topper. These are great additions to your current bed. They would allow you to start living a greener life. Search under PILLOWS and BEDDING on this site for more details. Sleep easy!

Answers for Betsy: Betsy, here are some reasons why you should consider going GREEN and ORGANIC. By going Green you will be doing so much good at once. For instance, you will be part of this great movement to help save the Earth and all its inhabitants. You help yourself and those around live a healthier lifestyle. You help our children have a cleaner and healthier Earth. You would be helping save our beaches, farms, trees and more. If we do not go green, we are not only risking our lives and longevity but those of our children. If this is not enough reason what is...

I have also had the pleasure of sleeping on your wonderful products. Not only do I enjoy it but it has been with my son since birth with his crib mattress and now his twin mattress. I have a new addition to the family coming soon and will need to add an additional twin mattress to go on the second bunk bed! Do you all do baby registry's if so how does that work?

I would like to thank you all for your kind words. I knot invite the rest of you to send me any questions or requests you may have. As you may know, White Lotus Home offers natural bedding for the whole family. Our natural bedding is made from the finest natural and organic fibers available. We have many stories to share with you. Here is one that I feel may help you decide between an organic mattress and a traditional one. At White Lotus Home we handcraft our organic mattresses in a very clean and refreshing environment. We only handcraft organic mattresses, pillows and all our organic bedding two times a month. This is done because every two weeks we cleansed our entire facility with environmentally friendly cleaners. Our organic mattress making rooms are carefully cleansed, vacuumed and aired out so that no other particles are present when we handcraft your organic mattress. We go through this process to make sure we offer you the safest chemical free mattress possible. We learned this from 27 years of offering natural bedding to the chemical sensitivity industry and folks (like myself) with major allergy symptoms. I am the proud owner of White Lotus Home, it is rewarding to me. I feel like I am doing my part to save the planet, live a healthier life and at the same time offer all our customers a safer and peaceful night sleep. Thanks! MP

I just want to say that I am completely impressed with the way that White Lotus Home is focused on great customer service, high quality products and concern for the environment. In the world that we live in, it is nice to work with a company that strives to be the best in all that they do. I would say, "good luck in the future" but luck has nothing to do with it... So, keep up the hard work.

The White Lotus Store gives a whole new meaning to "green". The merchandise is colorful and stylish; not bland and neutral, as we think of eco-friendly products. The healthy aspect of the furniture and beds is a real plus. I purchased an original dreamton mattress from you guys and it is the most comfortable mattress I ever laid on! This is a fantastic place to shop for 'green' home furnishings and beddings! Thank you.

I am thinking about going Green but i have to ask myself: Why go GREEN? How does this help the environment and more importantly how will it help me in the long run?
