Eco-Friendly Nursery for your Baby

Your baby’s body is growing and developing so he/she is more vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals. Make a beautiful room for your baby without compromising on safety:

Paint. Your baby’s lungs are still developing months after birth so make sure you choose natural or organic paints, “VOC-free” or paints that emit fewer toxic emissions from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) for all the surfaces of your nursery or child’s room. Some of these VOCs are carcinogenic or toxic and have been fingered for contributing to respiratory distress and many childhood disorders.

Bedding. Make sure your baby is getting a comfy and healthy sleep by choosing linens and pillows made of 100% organic cotton, hemp or natural silk. These materials are not only hypoallergenic and soft, they are also free from pesticides, chemicals and other allergens that can irritate your baby’s skin.

Drapes and Curtains. Choose eco-friendly drapes and curtains for your baby’s nursery. Many imported ready-made drapes and curtains emit toxic smell caused by VOCs. None of the eco-friendly and natural drape fabrics we offer at FactoryDirectDrapes.com were subjected to harsh chemical treatments or harmful dyes during the processing or finishing of the fabric. Our line of eco-friendly fabrics include 100% organic cotton, hemp and recycled fabrics and come in a variety of colors.

Furniture. Look for baby furnitures that are made from natural solid hardwood or reclaimed wood that are finished with low VOC's coatings and finishes. Your new baby will sleep an average of 15 hours per day so it’s very important to choose a crib that’s not only comfortable but safe from toxic materials.

Toys. Certain chemicals in baby and kids toys may be harmful and are linked to learning and developmental disabilities. Before you buy toys for your baby, find out more information on which toys are safe and which aren’t.

Green Makeover for your Bedroom

We spend 1/3 of our life in bed so it's very important to make our bedroom comfortable, healthy and non-toxic.

Bedding. Choose beddings made from natural silk, 100% certified organic cotton, hemp and bamboo. They are free from pesticides, chemicals, allergens and more. They are also soft and hypoallergenic and comes in a wide array of designs to suit your decor.

Pillow. The Green Science Policy Institute recommends choosing pillows made from polyester, down, wool (a naturally flame retardant fabric), or cotton.

Mattress. Look for matresses that are made with non-toxic materials like wool, latex foam, unbleached cotton and other organic cotton fabrics.

Drapes and Curtains. Organic drapes don't emit emissions and other volatile chemicals. At FactoryDirectDrapes.com, none of our eco-friendly fabrics were subjected to harsh chemical treatments or harmful dyes during the processing and finishing of the fabric. They are 100% certified organic, American-grown, American-spun, American milled fabrics. All the finishing, dying of the fabrics and manufacturing of drapes takes place here in America.

Paint. Paints release toxic emissions. It comes from the solvents in the paint known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Some of these VOCs are carcinogenic or toxic which can cause headaches, fatigue, difficulty breathing, eye and skin irritation. When shopping for paints, choose natural or organic paints, "VOC-free" or paints that emit fewer fumes "LOW-VOC".

Furniture. Look for furnitures that are made from natural solid hardwood or reclaimed wood that are finished with low voc's coatings and finishes.

By making these investments for your bedroom, you can improve your family's health and save the planet.
