Your little elf is resting snug in his bed, but visions of toxins have been dancing in your head ever since you zipped him into his mass-produced velour sleeper.

Pesticide-laden cotton. Chemical flame retardants. It may very well be the least eco-conscious product since the plastic water bottle.

Give that nightmare a rest with a 100 percent organic cotton velour sleeper from CastleWare. The Eureka-based company has launched a collection of footies and sleep sacks that are earth-friendly and sans chemicals — all without sacrificing the softer-than-a-baby’s-bottom feel of velour.

So it’s stress-free snuggling for all, and for all a good night.

Available online at castleware.com, $45-$61.
