Did You Know?

The Green Life is the region’s leading organic bed store, with solutions like breathable organic cotton, microbe-resistant natural latex, moisture-wicking eucalyptus, naturally fire-resistant wool and more. We also specialize in organic bedding for baby. Imagine how great a green sleep feels!

Our Featured Artisan

Robin Gordon Taft of North Clarendon is the owner of Robin’s VT Furniture in Recovery, an unexpected solution for damaged and discarded furniture. Robin’s pieces are resurrected, recycled durable art. She uses handmade papers and quirky embellishments for a gorgeous combination of fun and functional. Robin’s work is both playful and spiritual, and on close inspection each piece reveals a hidden message. Come in and see for yourself!

Don’t Forget Mom!

Not only will you find lots of great green gifts under $40 for mom, but the Green Life also has fun, sentimental, unique Mother’s Day cards. Remember, Mother’s Day is May 13.

Crib mattresses by Nook are made with organic and non-toxic materials. Among many other benefits they are anti microbial, anti mite, water and stain resistant. Call us at the store to learn more about this special new product coming soon.

At the Green Life, we want to show off our all-natural bedding. So, come in, recline on one of our all-natural mattresses, and you’ll be entered to win a dinner at Pistou, the new neighborhood restaurant everyone’s raving about! Lie down with a loved one and you’re both entered! But, hurry–this is a limited-time offer.

Natural Latex Mattress Handmade in the US by White Lotus Home.

 

 

 

When you lie down at night, you want your cares to drift away–all of them. Imagine what all-natural, completely soft, 100% organic bedding will do for your night’s sleep!

The greatest scientist of all time is Mother Nature, creator of natural solutions like breathable organic cotton and microbe-resistant natural latex. And if science invented wool, they’d call it a wonder-product. Wool repels dust mites, acts as a natural fire retardant, and keeps your body warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Recline on One of Our All-Natural Mattresses and Win a Dinner at Pistou. Hurry -- This is a limited-time offer.

So, come in, experience our all-natural bedding and accessories for the whole family, and see why we say, Sleeping is Believing!

Best regards–
