We are undergoing a transformation in the sleep and bedding department here at Casa Shak-Shuka: Baby Shak-Shuka now is "over" with napping (even though her trance-like state come 6pm says otherwise) and has progressed from a crib to a low toddler bed. Exciting, sad and frightening all in one. Another rite of passage that we're learning to adjust to, and gasping at how fast time is going and how much progression happens for children in such a short period of time.
Along with this change of bed/ding, I've begun to research options for eco-friendly bedding again. I stumbled upon something so lovely that I just had to share: the Nook Sleep Systems website. The photography is stunning, plus the materials are eco-friendly, so it was me who was in the trance-like state when I discovered the site. Take for instance the Pebble Mattress, that has a unique air layer that allows oxygen to flow through the mattress (ooh! fancy!), and the mattress itself is made from a combination of eucalyptus leaves, organic cotton, organic wool and latex. Not a scary flame-retardant-toxic name in sight. Phew. Add to the fact that the Pebble Mattress comes in a slew of colors, it doesn't help my obsession. Of course it's not a cheap buy, but considering how much time your little one spends sleeping (or should be...) then it's a wise buy if you're thinking of more than one child! Even if the Mattress is a bit out of the financial reach of most of us, there is the Toddler Pillow which I think would make a wonderful gift for the child making the transition to the "big boy/girl" bed. The Toddler Pillow is also made with eucalyptus, organic cotton and filled with more eucalyptus and recycled polyester. Nook Sleep Systems has me dreaming about their eucalyptus-laden sleeping goodies in all their eco-friendly-loveliness.
