Coyuchi: Organic and Natural Bedding & Bath

Located in Point Reyes Station, California, Coyuchi specializes in organic cotton linens for the bedroom, the nursery, and the bathroom.

Coyuchi uses only 100% certified organic cotton in our products.  Every fiber of cotton we spin is produced in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM).  Meaning that seeds are not genetically engineered and Insects are controlled through integrated pest management techniques, such as the encouragement of natural predators of harmful insects rather than petrochemical based pesticides.  IFOAM disallows use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, and all fields are weeded by hand.

The Importance of Organic Cotton
Cotton is the most heavily sprayed field crop on the planet:
-3 Percent of the world's arable land, in 2007, produced more than 50 billion pounds of cotton.
-twenty five percent of all insecticide is applied to conventionally grown cotton.
-two hundred chemicals might be applied to a single plant in one season in the U.S., translating to a third of a pound of chemicals per pound of cotton fiber.
-one and a quarter pounds of agricultural chemicals are used in California to produce the conventionally grown cotton in a single set of queen sized sheets.

If all cotton were grown organically, the use of insecticides worldwide would be reduced 25%.  We at Coyuchi are working toward this end.
