At last there's an answer for everyone reluctant to compromise either their ethical ideals or the quality of a good night's sleep!
Clever online bed linen specialist Fou Furnishings – www.foufurnishings.com - has managed the impossible and found a way to combine gorgeous quality and design, environmentally friendly processes and value for money. Its new range of 100 per cent organic cotton, luxury bed linens feel wonderful and are made to the very highest natural standards. All the cotton used by Fou Furnishings has been grown without the use of synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and has been treated using only natural and biodegradable means.
“Fou Furnishing's aim is to use sustainable and ethical practices right through the business and supply chain combined with original and innovative design,” says founder Stephanie McIntosh, who has spent 20 years working with major fashion and furnishings retailers across Europe. The company has UK Soil Association accreditation for three of its ranges to ensure the integrity of all the materials used in its products, and for sensitive skins, four of the designs have Oeko-Tex Class II certification, guaranteeing that there are no potentially irritating nasties in the textile dyes.
The new collection offers high thread counts of up to 475 which means a softer, silkier feel and comes in a choice of cool, comfortable cotton percale or lustrous, luxurious sateen finishes. What's even better is that many of the duvet covers also feature the very clever, unique, life-changing 'Fou duvet' top-opening, meaning you will never struggle with a duvet cover again. These beautiful and original duvet designs and matching bedroom essentials will enhance both contemporary and traditional interiors and will provide a really comfortable night's sleep. Prices start from just £10 for a pillowcase, £28 for a single sheet and £44 for a single duvet cover.

Note to editors: Fou Furnishings is the brain child of Stephanie McIntosh. It was launched following a year out to concentrate on the business through an MSc in product Design & Development. The founding aims are to create products which offer a different and distinctive choice from the mass-produced look of chain stores and provide convenience, original design and good quality which literally do not cost the earth - as well as customer service which delivers on its promises.
All of Fou Furnishings' products are made from 100 per cent organic cotton, using long staple cotton fibres, which are inherently strong and soft but will withstand frequent laundering and still look good. All of its products have been rigorously tested for colour fastness, pilling, shrinking and even seam strength.
