We work with amazing stores who are wonderful customers and friends! They care about you, the safety of products they carry in their stores and the necessity for NO chemicals in products for mom and baby!

They ask us perfect questions about our Nesting pillows and we have answers...

A note from Heather the founder of Blessed Nest on why we don’t use chemicals and fire retardants:

I've spent a lot of time researching this very issue, and it is actually the thing that started me down the road of "all organic". As we have stated; our Nesting Pillows are not "treated" with anything. In fact the chemicals that are used for making fabrics fire-retardant are linked to cases of SIDS more than any other theory out there. Fabrics are only required to be treated if they are being used for children's sleepwear, and in certain commercial applications (hospital curtains, etc). That's why most of your baby's nighties are labeled "not intended as sleepwear", or are made of that strange-feeling fabric. In a nutshell, nothing about our pillow attracts fire like, say a petroleum-based foam might, so there is no need to treat it. The Nesting Pillow will not catch fire more readily than anything else. It is important that articles of bedding and furniture are tested, because there has been a problem with the chemicals that can be on fabrics and in other materials promoting flame where it wouldn't normally be (like if a lamp fell over on it). All of the major components of both pillows are made with 100% organic materials which are certified to not even contain pesticides. All other components (zippers, thread, labels) are either not available in organic, or the organic version does not meet our standards for quality and durability. We care very much about literally every element of our products (yes, even thread!).
