How can you snooze...and win?

The Bite:
Hit the organic sheets. Ultracomfortable and pesticide-free, organic sheets'll make you dread the sound of your alarm clock more than ever, but at least you'll sleep more soundly knowing your duvet cover didn't contribute to the genetic mutation of fish.
The Benefits: 
  • Comfy-coziness. With these sheets, you won't even have a wrong side of the bed to roll out of.
  • Resting assured, with no bad dreams about pesticides harming the planet and creating genetic resistance in certain species (nonorganic cotton farming uses more pesticides than any other crop).
  • Options for every price range. There are organic options for both budget Biters and Biter billionaires.
Personally Speaking: 
Jenifer has an amazing power whereby she can recognize the thread count of a sheet just by touching it (OK, sometimes).
Wanna Try: 
  • Anna Sova Eco-Silk - made with eco-friendly dyes and processing; in seven rich colors ($33 -$410).
  • Lauren Spa - Ralph Lauren's first organic-cotton bedding collection; in eight different muted colors ($30-$300).
  • Target Organic Sheet Set - Tar-zhay's affordable, 250-thread-count, organic-cotton sets; in four soft colors. Also: bamboo options ($30-$60).

Cocktail Fact

Researchers at Kingston University in the UK found that an unmade bed is less appealing to dust mites, since the linens retain less moisture.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters opt for an organic-cotton sheet set rather than a nonorganic one, we'll avert the weight of 263 king-sized mattresses in pesticides.
