While many of us have joined the eco-conscious movement by eating organic bananas and filling our wardrobes with bamboo attire, we’re still rubbing our faces against chemical-laden fibers when we hit the sack. But if you invest a little time and some extra cash—the relatively small niche market means product prices tend to fall on the steep end—a naturally good night’s sleep lies well within your reach.
This sculptural bedside accessory made from fallen rock does double duty: Use it as a vase and fill it with a few buds; flip it over and it becomes a votive candleholder. $35 at Willow (908 N Damen Ave, 773-772-0140, shopwillow.net).
Handknit by Peruvian artisans, this fair-trade alpaca wool throw adds texture to your bedding and a layer of warmth on chilly spring nights. $120 at gaiam.com.
Los Angeles–based bedding company Amenity churns out covetable 300-thread-count organic cotton duvet covers and accent pillows, printed in nature-inspired patterns (with non-toxic, water-based dyes) like this cream- and sienna-colored willow design. $299 at Home Element (600 N Michigan Ave, 312-587-8752, homeelementfurniture.com).
Since catching the green bug this spring, JC Penney has tagged its new eco-friendly merch “Simply Green,” including a line of oh-so-affordable bedding. Save your pennies and load up on the department store’s bamboo sheets. $15–$60 at JC Penney (7601 S Cicero Ave, 773-581-6600, jcpenney.com).
Molding to your body like a Tempur-Pedic bed (but without the chemicals), Shepherd’s Dream mattress comes with three layers of latex (each customized for firmness according to your preference for soft, medium or hard), encased in organic cotton and organic wool. Pair it with all-wool pillows and a nontoxic, oil-preserved fir wood bed frame, designed to lend a hearty, country vibe to your bedroom. $736 for bed frame; $45–$50 for wool pillow; $1,650 for queen-sized latex mattress at Bower Natural Bedding (2246 W Grand Ave, 312-226-8060, bowernaturalbedding.net).
