Sleep Sensations: Princess And The Organic Pea?

New Jammies
Remember the tale about how a tiny pea kept a princess from sleeping soundly? The restless royal could not sleep the whole night and woke up achy and cranky. This was all because one little pea was placed under multiple mattresses, to test if she was a real princess. Well, that may be fantasy, but the reality is parents want their little princesses and princes to have the most comfortable, safe and sound sleep available. Think it would help if the pea were organic?

Offering eco-friendly products to help little ones sleep makes sense for everyone. When children have a restful night and wake refreshed, the day gets off to a wonderful start. We are showcasing some terrific companies that make little ones’ nights silent and peaceful. With a bit of help from Greenbuds Baby, Woolly Boo, Crib Critters and New Jammies, children drift to the land of sweetest dreams.

Greenbuds Baby Specializes in Organic Crib Mattresses

Greenbuds Baby
Greenbuds Baby mattresses are made from the purest substances, with natural cotton batting. Organic cotton ventilates body heat, to help keep children healthier, with fewer colds and illnesses. The non-toxic support layer inside the mattress is composed of food grade polyethylene. There are no chemicals or harmful substances placed in the mattress, providing children with a safe and healthy sleeping environment.

According to the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, 56% of the total gross shipment dollars in 2008 were estimated to be from the sale of eco-friendly or organic products. The vast variety of environmentally-friendly products available to the public is proof that going green has grown way past the passing fancy stage.

Greenbuds offers crib mattresses of all sizes and shapes; bassinet, mini crib, and cradle mattresses; replacement covers; mattress protectors; sheets; and pillows. Sam and Miriam Mandel started Greenbuds after the birth of their son in 2008. Driven and determined to change the status quo and create a better reality, Greenbuds was born. Greenbuds gives parents the opportunity to provide their children with safe, supportive mattresses and accessories that are also affordable.

Woolly Boo is Better Than Counting Sheep

Woolly Boo
Woolly Boo is guided by a vision and mission: to provide children with healthy bedding for the best possible sleep environment. They create handcrafted heirloom-quality bedding for infants, toddlers or preschoolers using natural, chemical-free ingredients. Backed by years of tradition and scientific research, Woolly Boo products help ensure well-rested, healthier and happier children.

Woolly Boo makes crib bumpers, mattress pads, and bedding sets; infant wearable blankets; toddler pillows and comforters; and even pet pillows. Woolly Boo was born out of a need for natural, stylish, chemical-free bedding for children.

Unable to find the eco-friendly, fashionable products they desired, founders Selma Avdicevic and her mother, Vahida Subasic, set out to do it on their own. They created a line of bedding and accessories all made from 100% organic wool filler and 100% natural cotton ticking. Woolly Boo remains a family-owned and operated business located in Montclair, New Jersey. They engage in sustainable practices and fair trade with organic farmers and weavers, and welcome the opportunity to work with designers and retailers on private label and custom products.

Make New Jammies a Bedtime Ritual

New Jammies
Nicole Johnson’s interest in nature and science led her to a degree in Chemistry from Washington and Lee University, and inspired her development of a new company devoted to organic sleepwear, New Jammies. Her creative and entrepreneurial spirit are behind the brand that reflects her family values and desire to bring positive change in the world.

After working for several years as an organic chemist, Nicole felt that despite the important role that chemistry plays in our everyday lives, there are areas where our exposure to chemicals should be reduced. Research indicates that children in their developmental stages are at especially at risk if exposed to harmful chemicals and toxins.

Since completing her MBA at Rutgers University, Nicole has developed an environmentally responsible company that offers 100% certified organic cotton apparel for children. New Jammies is the result of her passion for art, education, and developing a healthy lifestyle for our most precious resource –– children.

The goal is not only to design a product of the highest standard, but to live by that standard and be accountable for the health and well-being of children and their environment. New Jammies makes bedtime fun and healthy with bold, colorful prints on the purest 100% organic cotton.
