    I have organic bedding, at the moment we just have it for my very allergenic sons' bed and ours. My son loves it although the lack of a picture did put him off at first, but none of his visiting friends have commented so its ok. We have one set for our bed and if the weather allows I get it washed, dried and back on in one day because it is so much nicer than the other non-organic set. It has "bobbled" a bit but not too much, it just feels so much nicer.

    Getting into a bed made up with organic bedding washed in eco-friendly powder and fabric conditioner then lined dried in the sun is heaven.

    What on earth is 'Organic cotton' ?.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Thats interesting, thanks, I'd be interested in replacing ours with organic when the time comes that they need it.

    As fas as I know its a cotton plant grown using organic methods.

    I am currently wearing a long sleeve top that I bought from Greenfibres about 5 years ago and it is still in perfect shape and hasn't lost any colour. It's a really good fit, and if I could afford to I would buy several more !
