How to Sleep More Naturally.

The bedroom is where we dream, and with any luck, it's also where dreams come true. So whether you're sleeping or entertaining a guest, creating a healthy, eco-aware bedroom is the surest way to achieve personal contentment and "Natural Living."

The word "Ingeo" literally means ingredients from the earth. Ingeo fibers are a unique, renewable, environmentally-friendly alternative to both polyester and down feathers, developed in a process that creates fiber from corn. Corn starches are broken down into sugars. The carbon and other elements in these natural sugars are then used to make a biopolymer through a process of simple fermentation and separation. Even more impressive is that Ingeo fibers deliver superior performance and a high quality sleep experience night after night. This new process uses no harsh chemicals or solvents, requires less energy to make, and even reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

"Natural Living" pillows and comforters feature special clusters of Ingeo fibers designed to mimic the soft, adjustable support of down. Ingeo has a number of advantages over natural fibers, including high strength, high dimensional stability, and high resilience. It has relatively low flammability and smoke generation. Hypoallergenic Ingeo fiber naturally wicks away moisture, has low odor retention and not supporting bacterial growth.
