New Organic Baby And Child Bedding Collection

Limited edition launches Fou Furnishings’ new bedding for children

Fou Furnishings is not yet two but already the innovative certified-organic and fair trade bed linen company is making its mark.

A Natural and Organic Awards 2009 finalist for best organic textile product, online quality bed linen specialist, Fou Furnishings, has just launched its first children’s collection with a limited edition design range.

The designs were winners of Fou Furnishings’ Design-a-duvet competition during 2009 Organic Fortnight.

Fou Furnishings designer and director, Stephanie McIntosh, says: “We wanted the next generation to think green. The winning designs in our Design-a-duvet competition celebrate nature with flowers and butterflies, and fishes swimming in the sea.”

 ‘Flowers are wonderful’, with appliquéd and embroidered flowers and butterflies, is designed by a primary school pupil from Glasgow, Scotland. ‘Love to learn’ is designed by a mother in Middlesex, England, with animals and numbers, also appliquéd and embroidered.

One of India’s longest-established organic companies have produced the limited edition bedding. The Fou Furnishings baby and children range is certified Fairtrade ensuring fair wages and an ethical and transparent supply chain.

The limited design duvet covers launches Fou Furnishings’ new organic bedding collection for babies and children.

Why organic? Fou Furnishings director, Stephanie McIntosh, explains: “We spend around eight hours in bed; organic bedding is wonderfully soft for sensitive skins because of its long fibres and is completely toxic-free. Organic production is sustainable, traceable and safe for farm workers. I want exceptional quality - the best yarns come from cotton grown and processed the organic way.”

The just-launched baby and children bedding collection uses high-quality 330 thread count organic cotton which means its smooth softness lasts and lasts.

Fou Furnishings scooped the Natural and Organic Awards 2009 finalist award for its unique ‘Fou duvet’ top opening cover.  Stephanie McIntosh, who designed the hidden feature combining form with function, says: “After years of trying to funnel a duvet into its cover, I came up with a design that means you will never struggle with a duvet cover again. It’s life-changing.”    

To celebrate the new collection from Fou Furnishings, the Soil Association is running an online competition. Register for free with the Soil Association website, and you could win a Fou Furnishings duvet cover and pillow set from its new baby and child collection. The Soil Association is also featuring a 10% offer on Fou Furnishings bed linen collection until 28 February 2010

I cannot find the right duvet cover!!!?

Ok, the two duvet covers sets that I have are from the "Hotel Collection" from Macy's, I know they are supposed to be the best but they are really thick and hot plus DRY CLEAN ONLY. Then I bought a 100% cotton, over 400 thread count, they were hard, rough and super wrinkled after I washed them twice to try to get them soft..I gave them away. I just moved and sent my covers to the cleaners and I've been sleeping with the duvet without the covers and I love it!!!!! Is there a brand or a mix of materials I should be looking for?? Thanks.

Check the reviews, they usually tell you if it's soft, washable, etc.
