Amy Butler Dream Daisy 400 Thread Count Sheet Set

Pros. Good seller-fast shipping. These Amy Butler organic sheets are very well constructed and should last a very long time. The pattern is gorgeous. I really like the Indigo and turquoise combination. Very nice detailing in the print and construction. The sheets feel stiffer than any other organic sheets I've ever had.

Cons: Beware if you're sensitive to synthetic fragrance or chemicals. I've been buying organic bedding since the late 80's and this is the first time that I've had an issue with synthetic fragrance. It was extremely hard to remove. Bed Bath and Beyond, a fragrant store, is Amy Butler's exclusive retail store to carry her bedding. The sheets may have been in a store absorbing the fragrances before it was sold as clearance. Dream Daisy is a discontinued pattern.

It could be that the fragrance was added by the manufacturer. It's doubtful since these are made with organic cotton but more and more manufacturers are using fragrances to mask chemical odors in new fabrics. The sheets are stiffer than most organic sheets; stiffness is a sign that they may have formaldehyde, a common additive to reduce wrinkling, or something else added to the cotton and they masked the odor with the fragrance.
