Friendly Baby August Competition
Friendly Baby have teamed up with Abaca Organic Living for the Friendly Baby August Competition. This month we are offering you the chance to win a luxurious, top-quality, organic moses basket mattress for your new baby.
Why have we teamed up with Abaca?
The lovely people at Abaca have been making mattresses in West Wales since 1989. The desire to create a natural bedding range grew as they saw at first hand the toxic cocktail that is routinely present in conventional mattresses.
There was already a clear need for natural bedding for people with a range of conditions including various allergies and ME. More than just a natural alternative, Abaca wanted to create truly luxurious organic bedding.
And so began a journey to find pioneers and artisans around the world to help on their quest. Abaca found organic cotton growers in Turkey and India, worked with the British Wool Marketing Board to source Welsh organic wool, sought out specialist wool scourers who wash and grade the wool and commissioned organic processors who turn the raw wool into wool pads.
It is in the small workshop in West Wales that each mattress is carefully put together. Hand stitching and finishing means that every mattress is intimately checked for quality before it makes its final journey into someone’s home.
20 years ago organic farmers in the UK were ridiculed, but now as society has begun to take stock of the real price of cheap goods, what began, for many, as questions about personal well-being has now branched out into something wider. More and more of us recognise the health of our families, our homes, our communities and our land, is affected by what we choose to buy.
Abaca’s mattresses have a lower carbon footprint than conventional mattresses. For instance, organic cotton farming does not permit the use of petrochemical based pesticides and herbicides. However there is always more to be done. Abaca
has commissioned an independent environmental report in order to identify and recommend ways in which we can reduce the impact of their business on the environment.
All the fillings in Abaca mattresses are biodegradable or recyclable, once removed they will quietly break down and return to the natural world so completing a sustainable cycle. The springs can also be recycled.
We all want the best for our baby right from the beginning, and allowing your little one the opportunity to sleep on a Soil Association certified organic moses basket or cot mattress really is the best start in life.
You can get much more information about their organic mattresses at Abaca.
