An old TV tray, wooden box, and many other items can make great nightstands and bedside tables. You can also buy organic bedding to help maintain a green bedroom. Chemicals like formaldehyde are often used in the creation of most bed sheets to make them soft. You can avoid chemicals like these by purchasing chemical free sheets such as organic cotton.
