January 19, 2010- First it was the natural and organic food and now it is the natural and organic bedding that has acquired a new silhouette in today's modern and style consciouses world. Every where there is a desire for natural bedding so it is not at all hard to find organic mattress, natural bed covers, natural bed sheets, organic pillows, natural mattress protector and all other kinds of organic bedding.

So this is more of environmental concern that has urged people to buy organic bedding for their bedroom.

Before industrialization, it was just the natural bedding and other organic products that used to be there in the market. But after industrialization and World War II there was a hunger to manufacture quality at the cost of everything be it a home, environment or nature. More efficient chemicals, fertilizers and artificial crops were invented for the mass production. In the initial periods no effects from these chemicals were felt on human as well as environment but soon the devastating effects were recognized in the form of global warming, depleting resources, vanishing ozone layer and this was the time when the need for natural products was felt. And now the scenario is such that natural bedding has its own niche in the furnishing market and desired by all.

Although the organic bedding is expensive than the artificial and synthetic bedding yet these are liked and purchased by the consumer. One of the main reasons for higher cost is less support from the government and shortage of organic farming. But Indian government has set a target in which it wants to increase the sale of organic products to ten times from 2008 to 2012.
