Kushtush Organic Bedding

Kushtush reckon they have everything “you need for the all-natural bedroom or nursery in fine organic cotton and organic wools, from bed pillows, organic cotton sheets, blankets, comforters, duvets and mattress pads, to hand made organic mattresses from Amish communities.” And the claim would appear to be accurate. A very focussed line of bedding and bathware, predominately from organic cotton. Kushtush are very proud of their ‘Made in the USA’ moniker too. But we did take a fancy to their 50/50 Certified Organic Merino Wool / Certified Organic Cotton Blankets. An unusual blend and encouraging for this writer to see Australia being creative in the supply of Merino wool (and importantly organic in this case) as normally our nuclear free neighbours in New Zealand are stealing our thunder (see the IceBreaker clothing line.) Strangely it is recommended you don’t immerse these blankets in water, but spot wash them ?! $150 USD for the Twin size. ::Kushtush
PS. We just noticed, while double-checking the links, that Kushtush also offer hemp and organic cotton fabrics by the yard too. Great for DIY projects.

not sure I'd wanna sleep on a mattress made from Amish communities. Otherwise, products look fab.
BTW. I still loathe the new TH advertising arrangement with a long list of features in between the post & its comments section. BOOOO.
Hello, and thank you for calling attention to our site, and for pointing out a possible "oopsie" regarding care of the Merino wool/cotton blankets!
We will make that correction shortly!
Best wishes,
Kushtush Organics
We did check care instructions, and because of the 50% organic wool content in the Merino wool/organic cotton blankets, they indeed cannot be immersed in water. Non-chemical dry cleaning is recommended (chemical dry cleaning can be done, but remember that would add unwanted chemicals to organic product).
Australian woolens are wonderfully soft and we're very happy to have them!

I understand the need for ad dollars, trust me, but what about moving the google text ads to the far right. FYI, if you add a well-formatted google search to your site, i'll use it and i bet others will too. Just put it on a separate page with your logo and some green ads -- see what firefox does. Wonderful site nonetheless!
Pixy, just saw your suggestions after travelling for some time.
Right on with really good ideas which we'll implement before first of the year.
Thanks so much!
