A few weeks ago we wrote about Keetsa's eco-mattress in a box, and since then one of our spotters came across another eco-bedding line from UK-based Sleep Limited.
Sleep Limited's line of eco sleep products features pure, unbleached cotton and 100 percent recycled polyester fiberfill made largely from recycled drink bottles. Included in the line is the Eco Duvet, priced from GBP 30.80; an Eco Mattress Topper, priced from GBP 25.40; and Eco Pillows priced at GBP 22 per pair. All are soft, hypo-allergenic and machine washable, and all come packaged in an unbleached cotton bag emblazoned with an image of the Earth. Shipping is available only within the UK, and is free of charge for orders of GBP 65 or over, GBP 5.95 otherwise.
In today's eco-iconic world, in which out-greening your competitors is increasingly the name of the game, we can't help but notice that Sleep Limited's products are made from cotton that's merely unbleached, not organic. Nevertheless, with a growing number of consumers eager to be green—and especially to show the world that they are—there's room for many shades of the colour. Make it easy for consumers to be green—or at least, feel green—and they'll reward you with some cold, hard green of their own!

Hollander Home Fashion is doing something very similar in the States with a pillow called Natural Elements (unbleached cotton cover, filling made from post-consumer recycled plastic soda bottles). I'll be reviewing the pillow in August on my website.

Just published my review of The Natural Elements pillow and can say that this one is definitely a good choice for anyone who likes super-firm support while sleeping.
Plus you may have sweeter dreams knowing that your pillow helped keep plastic bottles out of the landfill.
