Night Fever

Pixel Organics Bedding

See Jane?

She’s tucked up in Pixel Organics’s ecofriendly crib, toddler, and twin bedding. See her wriggle excitedly under organic cotton sheets and a recycled polyester comforter made from regenerated water bottles. See Dick? He’s praising Pixel Organics’s retro prints — lions, tigers, hot-rod cars — in bold colors.

See Jane and Dick jump for joy because they found modern kids’ bedding that jibes with their home.

You’re looking at one successful slumber party.
