Selecting a Fair Trade™ Comforter
Give your bed a renewed look with a Fair Trade™ comforter. Pottery Barn has a wide selection of bedding and other items that are Fair Trade Certified™. When you choose one of these items, you're helping support workers and their communities.
Fair Trade™ Comforter Advantages
For every Fair Trade™ item purchased, Pottery Barn pays a premium into a worker fund. The workers are then able to decide how to apply the fund to community development projects. Pottery Barn has lots of items that are Fair Trade Certified™, including a range of stylish comforters. They come in multiple colors -- including versatile neutral tones -- to coordinate with the rest of your bedroom decor.
There are different comforter materials that have the Fair Trade™ designation. One option is Belgian flax linen, which is considered one of the most luxurious bedding materials found anywhere. These linen comforters are sustainably-sourced and ethically produced. They're also soft and breathable for optimum comfort. Another thing to love about linen is that it gets softer the more you wash it. There are various styles from which to choose, including an elegant tufted comforter filled with plush polyester.
If you prefer cotton, consider a comforter with a percale weave. Percale is a densely woven type of cotton that's preferred for sheets and comforters because it's soft and highly wear-resistant. There's the Waffle Weave comforter, which has an elegant textured design. The neutral tone of this percale comforter makes it a classic choice for any bedroom, whether your furniture style is traditional or modern.
Create a coordinated style by layering your comforter with sheets in a complementary color or print. There are plenty of eco-friendly options when it comes to Fair Trade™ sheets, including those made from Oeko-Tex Certified® organic cotton. Any bedding with this certification meets stringent standards to ensure it's responsibly produced from start to finish and toxin-free for a healthy indoor environment.
Other Fair Trade Furnishings
Once you've chosen a Fair Trade™ comforter, you might also want to check out the Fair Trade™ bedroom furniture. There's the coastal-inspired Beadboard bed and dresser, which is crafted from kiln-dried hardwood with MDF and veneers. Or, choose a bed and/or dresser from the Paulsen collection. These pieces have an elegant, rustic appearance and are made from reclaimed wood. Explore the Fair Trade™ furniture and bedding at Pottery Barn to find pieces that fit with your home's design style.
