Natural, Organic Throws: Rugs, Pillows & Blankets

Let’s start by thinking about how many times your feet and skin touch fabrics and textiles inside of your home on a daily basis? Your sofa, drapes, rugs, carpet, throw pillows, bedding, towels, the list goes on. Sourcing sustainable pillows, throw blankets and nontoxic rugs are truly important for a healthier home.

Non toxic area rugs, organic throws, and organic throw pillows all fall into the same category at Healthier Homes, and that is sustainable, ethical, clean products that are safe to have inside your home.

Most organic rugs and natural throw pillows are made using processes and materials that are far healthier for home occupants than traditional manufacturing methods. Organic cotton rugs are crafted using untreated textiles that are free from chemicals like flame retardants which can off-gas into your home or leach dangerous substances into your skin.

However, here your options are plentiful for sustainable throw pillows, ethical throw blankets, and organic area rugs!

While non toxic rugs are often organic and sustainable as well, these labels have different goals: sustainable refers to the impact a product has on the environment, while nontoxic refers to the impact it has on the people who are using it. As such, we prioritize organic modern rugs and fair trade pillows that safeguard the health and well-being of humans and pets first. Our number one concern at Healthier Homes is the health and well-being of our those who enjoy this world as much as we do, so everyone may thrive in their living environments.

The health benefits of items like natural pillow covers and organic sofa pillows are as many and varied as they are with all other types of healthy home furnishings. With chronic disease numbers on the rise, several studies have suggested that a toxic indoor living environment may be the cause, and these toxic indoor spaces are created by items in the home that off-gas dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

That’s just one reason why it’s so important to research and purchase ecofriendly rugs made using untreated fabrics and other natural textiles. These organic materials won’t usually have serious off-gassing potential, so you can rest easy knowing you’re creating your home in the healthiest way possible.

What’s more? Organic materials, dyes, and manufacturing processes are good for the environment, our planet, and your very own footprint, literally… Here’s to your next sofa snuggle session under your new OEKO-TEX certified natural throw blanket!

When it comes to your healthy home, every piece, from the fair trade pillows to the eco friendly rugs, plays a role in the health and well-being of you and your family. So many products are made using toxic chemicals, and those chemicals linger and can even be emitted into your home.

Imagine if every item in the room you’re in right now were off-gassing hazardous VOCs. Those gases can build up quickly inside modern indoor living environments, which are built to be airtight for energy conservation. Sadly, those very efforts might be putting your health at risk.

Fortunately, you have the power to take control of your own living environment to make conscious purchases for your healthier home.
