Organic Cotton Is the "Green" Way To Go

Organic Cotton

Premium quality cotton are prized for their softness and their luster and is perfect for apparel especially baby's and children's clothing. Cotton is widely used for curtains, table spread, and yes, bedspreads. Cotton can be blended with polyester for extra body.

A cotton bedspread solves the problem, especially organic cotton.

Cotton fabric clothed and adorned homes in ancient times and is still widely used today over more expensive fabrics. Back then cotton growing was all natural; the increasing concern over environmental issues ushered in new technologies and practices.

Organic cotton, grown without harmful pesticides is now available. This will be pricier, but it is practical to have organic cotton bedspread to avoid allergies and contamination with poisonous substances that still cling to the fabric. The new generation of organic cotton is also anti-bacterial.

Thread Count

When shopping for cotton coverlets and blankets, do not only look at the 100% cotton tag. Check out the thread count. A higher thread count in the area of 300 assures softer and durable bedspreads and blankets. The thread count also shows the number of threads in a square inch of fabric. Egyptian cotton is known for its higher thread count and quality.

Color Fastness

Fit

Measure the dimensions of your beds. If you have a twin, king and queen sized beds, you might want cotton bedspreads that drape the sides of the bed. A good fit adds to the enhanced look of the beds and improves the overall appearance of the bedrooms.
