The Secret to a Fresh, Sustainable Sleep: Bio-D x The Fine Bedding Company

The Secret to a Fresh, Sustainable Sleep: Bio-D x The Fine Bedding Company

Is there anything better than sinking into a freshly made bed with soft, clean sheets, free from the day’s stress? We don’t think so! But what if we told you that the fresh feeling of clean sheets could be better for both you and the planet? At Bio-D, we’re all about creating a cleaner, healthier world, and we’ve partnered with The Fine Bedding Company, a fellow Certified B Corp, to bring you the ultimate fresh start with our Cotton Fresh Laundry Range and their luxurious, eco-friendly bedding.

March is B Corp Month, a time to celebrate businesses that are committed to social and environmental responsibility. As a Certified B Corp, Bio-D is proud to make a positive impact on both the planet and your home. And with The Fine Bedding Company’s dedication to quality, sustainability, and comfort, you can now enjoy a fresh, sustainable sleep every night.

Let’s dive into the best practices for keeping your bedding clean, fresh, and eco-friendly, and discover why choosing the right laundry care is key to ensuring your bedding stays in perfect condition.

How Often Should You Wash Bedding, Duvets, and Pillows?

Regular washing of your bedding is essential not just for freshness, but also for your health and wellbeing. Here’s a general guideline for how often to wash your bedding, duvets, and pillows:

  • Sheets & Pillowcases: These should be washed every one to two weeks. If you suffer from allergies or skin conditions, it’s best to wash them more frequently, perhaps once a week.
  • Duvets & Pillows: While duvets and pillows don’t need to be washed as frequently, it’s important to launder them every 3 to 6 months, or at least once a year. This ensures any dust, allergens, or sweat buildup is removed and keeps them feeling fresh.
  • Mattress Protectors: It’s recommended to wash your mattress protector every 1 to 2 months. This helps keep your mattress clean and prolongs its lifespan.

 The Right Way to Wash Your Duvets, Pillows, and Bedding

When it comes to washing your bedding, especially duvets and pillows, there are a few key tips to follow to ensure they maintain their shape and feel. The Fine Bedding Company recommends avoiding the use of fabric softeners with their duvets and pillows as they can affect the fibres inside, reducing their breathability and softness. However, Bio-D’s Laundry Liquid is an excellent choice for cleaning bedding as it’s gentle yet effective, leaving your fabrics soft and fresh without compromising their integrity.

When washing your bedding, follow these tips for best results:

  1. Check Care Labels: Always read the care labels on your bedding. Duvets and pillows often have specific washing instructions, such as temperature settings and drying methods.
  2. Use a Large Capacity Machine: Make sure your washing machine is large enough to accommodate the size of your duvet or pillow. Overloading the machine can prevent thorough cleaning and damage the fabric.
  3. Wash on a Gentle Cycle: To protect delicate materials, wash your bedding on a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water. This ensures that the fibres remain intact and the filling inside stays evenly distributed.
  4. Dry Properly: After washing, dry your bedding thoroughly. Air-drying is the most eco-friendly option, but if you use a tumble dryer, make sure to set it on a low heat to avoid damaging your duvet or pillows.

Bio-D’s Cotton Fresh Laundry Range: Perfect for Bedding

To ensure your bedding stays as fresh as possible, choose a laundry detergent that’s kind to both your fabrics and the environment. Bio-D’s Cotton Fresh Laundry Range is the ideal choice for cleaning bedding, as it’s formulated to be both gentle and effective. Here’s why:

  • 100% Plant-Based: Our Cotton Fresh Laundry Liquid is made from 100% plant-based ingredients, meaning it’s free from harmful chemicals and synthetics.
  • Biodegradable: Our laundry liquid is fully biodegradable, which means it won’t harm the environment after washing.
  • Kind to Sensitive Skin: Our products are designed to be gentle on the skin, making them perfect for people with allergies or sensitive skin. Plus, it’s hypoallergenic, so it’s safe for the whole family.
  • Naturally Fresh: Infused with the subtle scent of cotton blossoms, the Cotton Fresh range leaves your bedding smelling clean and fresh, without overpowering fragrances.

Bio-D’s laundry care products are designed to be gentle, effective, and environmentally friendly, so you can rest easy knowing you’re taking care of both your bedding and the planet.

Why B Corp Certification Matters

Both Bio-D and The Fine Bedding Company are proud to be Certified B Corps, a designation that recognises companies meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This means that every purchase you make from these brands is supporting a business that not only cares about profit but also about people, the planet, and the communities they serve.

Being a B Corp is about more than just offering eco-friendly products. It’s about aligning business practices with a higher purpose—whether that’s through reducing waste, supporting fair wages, or actively working to create a positive social impact. By choosing B Corp-certified brands like Bio-D and The Fine Bedding Company, you’re making a choice that’s better for you, your home, and the environment.
