About

Eco-Friendly Natural and Organic Bedding: Haiku Designs offers one of the widest selections of Earth-friendly furniture and bedding products on the web. We believe that enjoying a comfortable lifestyle that is healthy not only for oneself, but for the planet, is entirely possible. By selecting furniture products made with less or no toxic chemicals, organic and sustainably resourced materials, Haiku Designs and our valued customers are making a very real, eco-friendly, and strong choice to support the environment Haiku Designs promotes safe, healthy choices when it comes to bedding. Natural and organic materials, such as wool, cotton, and pure natural latex, are anti-microbial. They have a unique, dry, porous structure that dust mites won’t thrive in, and they don’t use petrochemicals for flame retardant or construction. All-natural latex is a form of foam rubber created from the sap of the Asian Rubber Tree. This natural material does not off-gas toxic gasses into the sleeping environment as do synthetic foams used in most futons. Haiku Designs believes that the latex core of a mattress or futon should be 100% latex, as opposed to a blended latex, whereby latex and synthetic polystyrene petrochemicals are blended together. Latex foam is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, and is naturally dust mite resistant. You don’t want your furniture or bedding to include synthetic foam cores, pesticide-treated cotton batting or polyester shells. Many mattresses and futons today are made from cotton stuffing and synthetic, polyester-based foam cores. Petrochemical foams off-gas a whole list of toxins into the sleeping environment. Although cotton is a natural material, standard cotton used in bedding is grown using tons of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. By using cotton without harsh chemicals, bedding from Haiku Designs promotes health in your home for years to come. With organic wool interior layers, processe
