All our organic duvets are skilfully handcrafted in our design studio, near the beautiful Julian Alps in Slovenia. Every Landon Duvet is crafted by the House of Pillows team! The Landon Duvets are made-to-order: that means the Landon Duvet you place an order for, is made specially for you! Yeah… Just taking things “off the shelf” doesn’t feel right to us!

We package your Landon Duvet in eco-friendly packaging! It’s 100% is recyclable, and the box is high enough quality to be reusable and/or re-purposed (we hear cats like boxes!). There is also a personalised label with your name on it, and a special little message inside The House of Pillows signature blue envelope . Every package is made personal.

Details: Only the box handles are (recyclable) plastic – we’re looking for a better solution! The paper labels on the box are made of biodegradable, natural and recycled paper. They use a natural, water based glue which is more eco-friendly than normal glues. As for the paper and envelopes, they are also sustainably sourced from the UK.

Certifications give us a higher level of certainty about what kind of materials & supply chains we’re supporting. We currently have the following three certifications. Here is what they mean.

Oeko-Tex 100, Class 1

Oeko-Tex certifies that the materials have been scientifically tested in independent labs, and are certified safe for humans. Certified Class 1 products, are safe enough for babies and toddlers up to 3 years of age. The labs test for all possible levels of toxicity. They make sure the materials don’t contain anything dangerous that would cause harm to a person coming in contact with them. Oeko-Tex labs tests for over 200 toxic elements, including some that aren’t even required by state law to test.

GOTS

GOTS is the Global Organic Textile Standard. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria. They are backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. The goal of the standard is to have world-wide recognized requirements that ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.

Fairtrade

The International FAIRTRADE Certification Mark is an independent certification mark used in over 50 countries. It appears on products as an independent guarantee that a product is produced according to Fairtrade political standards.

Organic cotton is one of the best material for bedding! Indeed, organic cotton is very breathable and transmits moisture away from your skin. This allows you to feel fresh and dry all night. Organic cotton can absorb ⅕ of its weight in moisture, and still feel completely dry. Considering that our bodies release at least 300ml (around 16oz.) of body vapour per night while we sleep, organic cotton comes to the rescue to keep us comfortable and dry.

What’s more, organic cotton provides breathable insulation. It keeps you cool in the summer, and thermal insulation during the winter. And unlike synthetics, organic cotton is hypoallergenic. Indeed, it doesn’t cause skin problems, or make preexisting skin problems (such as eczema, dermatitis) worse. Our high thread count organic cotton, makes our Landon Duvet incredibly soft, super breathable and very durable. It has high tensile strength, making it strong, durable and less likely to rip or tear.

Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for the industrial uses of its derived products. And while organic hemp derives from the same species as the cannabis plant, they are very distinct in composition. Indeed, industrial hemp cannot be used in the same ways. Instead, it is organic hemp grown for a wide variety of products including health food products, sustainable fashion and more! It is also an amazing material for bedding – especially summer bedding!

The organic hemp we use in our organic hemp duvets, is organically grown and organically processed in Slovenia, and we source some of it from the Netherlands as well. From the crop to the end material, our hemp is 100% toxic-free and pesticide free. It is not sprayed with any unhealthy additives, such as artificial flame retardants or chlorinated benzenes.

Organic hemp bedding has many benefits for sleeping – especially in the summer! It’s great for staying extra cool in the summer, as it’s even more breathable than cotton! Air effortly flows between the organic hemp fibers, making it a really cool duvet. Another amazing benefit of organic hemp, is that it repels moisture away from your skin, so you stay cool & dry even when it’s hot and humid! Finally, because organic hemp creates a very dry microclimate, mould, moisture, bacteria and microbes aren’t attracted to it. And so hemp makes for a healthy and hygienic bedding option for the hottest seasons of the year! Never miss a night sleep because of the heat ever again!

Unequivocally so! The Organic Hemp is resistant to pests and doesn’t need pesticides, herbicides, and barely any fertilisers! Hemp crops grow dense and vigorously. So, sunlight doesn’t penetrate the ground, and this makes it a weed-free crop. The roots of hemp plants go very deep, and hemp plants use ground water, and reduce its salinity. The roots of the organic hemp crops also improve soil. Indeed, they naturally transfer nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil! Hemp can even absorb toxic metals, emitted by nuclear plants into the soil, such as copper, cadmium, lead and mercury. So, organic hemp one of the most sustainable and self-sufficient crops in the world. To learn more about the benefits of organic hemp, visit this page!
