Yesterday we went to the Dojo Eco shop in Manchester, to see and order an organic and natural double mattress and accessories. Our friend’s have one of the mattresses already and they are great.
We travelled by public transport as usual – train, free city shuttle bus and then a short walk – it’s out of the centre in a more industrial area.
The shop was amazing; lots of wonderful eco products – even more than they have on the website it seemed.
We ordered the Firm/Springy double mattress (£495 – cheapest organic one we’ve found), a cotton mattress pad (£100 – I love my comfort) and two millet husk pillows (£27 each) – all of which we were able to try out first at the shop.
The mattresses are made of organic British wool, organic cotton, natural latex and coconut fibre. They are made to order in Manchester (ours is even been made to measure at no extra cost) and are delivered in approximately two weeks which is great.
We left a deposit and the balance is due when they ring to organise delivery, which is very fair.
We also bought a selection of FSC wooden brushes with plant fibresbristles (£1.25 to £6.50) , an organic cotton duck soft a toy for our friend’s new baby, an Onya Back Bag (£10 – alternative to plastic backpack), a ball of natural jute twine (£3.75) and a wooden juicer (£3.50) …..and we could have bought so much more.
There was lots of great eco toys, organic fabrics, organic and eco household furnishings and eco garden products – the list goes on and on………
We also visited the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, which is free except for special exhibitions and was enjoyed by all the family.
