I’m Coo Coo for KuKuNest

As a child I had Snoopy sheets. And towels. And a Snoopy dress with MATCHING socks, if you can believe it.  And I’m not even Japanese! (If you have ever been to Japan, that will make sense. Snoopy love lives on, undiminished, on that fair isle.)

And as it was then the 70′s, I am sure that my beloved Snoopy sheets were positively doused in flame retardants and heavens knows what else. But, in addition to “organic”, we now have Öko-Tex 100 certified bedding, that we can rest easy knowing our children are sleeping on. As a refresher:

“Öko-Tex is a textile certification standard developed in Europe during the 1990s in response to dangerously high levels of toxic chemicals found in consumer bedding. The goals of the Öko-tex standard are simple: ensure that 100 of the most common harmful chemicals either are not present in the fabric, or at ultra low levels that European scientists have determined to be negligible to human health. Chemicals tested for include: lead, mercury, pesticides, phthalates, flame retardants, plus many others.”

KukuNest makes darling toddler bed sets, (that are Öko-Tex 100 certified), that are bright and happy without being too “cartoonish”.

Except for “Jungle” or sports (blech) – KuKuNest seems to have a set for the most popular themes of toddler rooms.

The Asian sets even have matching wall stickers to pull the look together!

So much nicer than Snoopy sheets…

Safe toddler bedding is just as important as it was for your infant – as there are 8+ hours of dermal and inhalation time with sheets. They really need to be organic or Öko-tex standard certified. Wrapped around that organic mattress, at least you know that your child is safest for the 1/3rd of his life that he spends dreaming. More, if you’re lucky.

Sweet Dreams!
