Their jewelers have great experience doing ring resizes and when I finally tried it out, I loved it! I was so happy and pleased with the final results.

Hi there! Thanks for taking time to check us out. We're a fairly new company but we're working hard toward our goal of opening a retail location in the next year or so. We started Harmony Bedding with our number one goal being education - we want to educate the public about the harmful substances that are applied to conventional textiles, not just bedding. The second part of that goal is to bring you an alternative - organic and natural bedding free from harmful chemicals and as natural and eco-friendly as we can find. We're very busy sourcing more wonderful products, adding them to the web store, processing orders, verifying organic certifications and researching as much as we can about not only the harmful chemicals that conventional home products are saturated with, but the natural and organic alternatives and what you can do to help make your own environment a little 'greener'. Right now, we have a great selection of bamboo and organic cotton sheets, including luxurious soft sateen, crisp clean percale, silky bamboo and wonderfully soft flannel and jersey. In the mattress department we've got some great organic cotton, wool and latex mattresses - made right here in the US from organic cotton grown here in the US - they're a little more expensive, but hey, it keeps American jobs here, so we're all for it! We love that company - we want to be just like them when we grow up. Oh, and did I mention our crib bedding? We've got some adorable embroidered crib blankets, bumper covers and of course organic crib mattresses. Go take a look! http://www.harmonybedding.com We're very excited to be a part of the Austin Green Living show on April 23rd, 2010 in, you guessed it, Austin, TX. Come see us there and help teach everyone you know about making our homes greener and healthier! ...read more
