When you choose one of our locally made wool products,
you are helping to promote a local economy based on sustainable practices and thoughtful use of mother-nature's
resources. This fact let your conscience feel at ease. Their wonderfully soft, snuggly wool products will make your
body feel at ease too!
The Benefits of Wool
Wool products provide a deep and restorative sleep
because wool helps maintain your natural body temperature and wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and
comfortable. Wool also naturally repels dust mites and also inhibits the growth of other allergens
such as bacteria, mold and mildew. Our wool products all have either
certified organic wool or
Eco-Wool. Because wool is natural flame resistant
wool mattresses and other wool bedding have the ability to meet flammability requirements naturally, and therefore
have absolutely no chemical
flame retardants added.
As a side note, many people think they are allergic to wool because it makes them itch. Scratchy wool is a function of the diameter of the fiber. The smaller the diameter, the better the feel.
Many people who feel they are allergic to wool are actually just irritated by the coarse, large-diameter fiber. Needless to say, our blankets and other wool products are made with very fine
fiber that will not feel itchy!

Eco-Wool Mattress
Our showroom features Shepherd's Dream
Eco-Wool and Oregon Tilth certified organic wool mattresses.
They are endowed with
ten
layers of thick, Eco-wool batting
enveloped by a certified organic wool-fabric mattress casing. This unique mattress is arguably the most organic mattress on the planet.
Treat yourself to an over-abundance of all the fantastic qualities that
wool has to offer.
Wool Crib Mattress
We carry Shepherd's Dream
Eco-Wool crib mattresses. Babies can benefit from the purity of an all-wool mattress for many reasons: it has no chemical flame retardants;
it is resistant to dust mites; it is resistant to mold and mildew; the wool fiber has been processed as gently as possible using
no harsh acid-baths such as those used with regular wool; and the mattress helps keep baby dry and comfortable.
We carry nearly all Shepherd's Dream products in-stock, and can also order anything else they sell and have it within a couple weeks.
We have a Savvy Rest brand latex crib mattress that is also ideally suited for baby.
We also have in our showroom a beautiful
maple crib
by Pacific Rim Woodworking.
Organic Wool Mattress Pad
To protect your wool mattress, we carry, in-stock, beautiful
Holy Lamb
certified organic wool mattress pads. These top-quality mattress pads are washable and help keep your mattress dry and clean.
Protect your mattress investment with a mattress pad of equal quality. They are available in crib-size too.
We also have in-stock Coyuchi brand organic cotton mattress pads
and Savvy Rest brand organic cotton mattress pads
We carry quite a few Holy Lamb products in-stock, and can also order anything else they sell and have it within a couple weeks.
Eco-Wool Mattress Topper
Add extra softness to the wool mattress, or any mattress, with a
Shepherd's Dream
Eco-Wool, three-inch-thick mattress topper.
With a cloud-like feel, you will experience the very finest in all-wool sleeping comfort.
The topper is also available in a two-inch-thick version.
Organic Fleece Mattress Topper
We have in-stock, fleece mattress toppers by Holy Lamb Organics. These are extra plush lambswool toppers
minus the sheepskin. Instead, the organic wool is sewn directly to an organic cotton backing. With
this humane construction, you get to avoid the chemicals used to tan the hide, and the sheep get to keep their skin.
It is completely organic and handmade in Washington from Merino wool.
Wool Comforters
We also have
Shepherd's Dream
Eco-Wool comforters. We have the regular weight version in-stock, but can get the
summer and winter weight versions too. We think the regular weight comforter provides just the right amount of cozy, organic warmth.
We also sell Holy Lamb comforters, though not in-stock. The Holy Lamb
comforters are unique in that they can be made with differing thicknesses, and warmth, for each side of the bed!
We have these comforters in crib-sizes too.
Organic Wool Blanket
We have
Real Bedding
organic wool blankets in-stock. These are the wonderful old-style, felted blankets that are fuzzy and soft, not scratchy.
They are available in ivory color, and provide just the right warmth for this region.
Striped Wool Blankets
These handsome blankets by Coyuchi are top-shelf quality. They are warm and toasty with an heirloom style. Come by and run your hands over them! They are soft and cozy.
Alpaca Throws
Alpaca is a growing agricultural business in the United States, and is more environmentally friendly that many other types of farming. Alpaca wool is as soft as cashmere and lighter
and stronger than sheep's wool. There are two types of alpaca. The more common are the huacaya, which have a dense, crimped and wooly fiber. The less common suri, have long,
separate locks with a high luster that hang much like the fur of afghan hounds. Our Alpaca throws come from two local farms, Alpacas at Hum Sweet Hum
and Aragon Alpacas. Their high-quality throws are made by hand from spinning to weaving.
Wool Pillows
Having the right pillow is nearly as important as having the right mattress. And it is important that the pillow
"match" the mattress and your sleeping style. In general, a softer mattress requires a lower pillow than
a firmer mattress. This is because, all other things being equal, you will sink farther into a soft mattress than
a firm mattress. The farther you sink into a mattress, the more your head is already propped-up by the mattress
itself. Another basic consideration is that side-sleepers tend to need higher pillows than back-sleepers
because a back-sleeper's head is closer to the mattress than a side-sleeper's head. So when you pick
out your pillow in our store, test it first on one of our mattresses that most closely resembles your own mattress.
An Eco-Wool pillow has fantastic properties. It is nearly as soft as goose down and has a more consistent density.
Because wool wicks away moisture it also stays dry and free of dust mites, mildew and other allergens.
All of our wool pillow casings are made of certified organic cotton and the wool fiber inside each pillow has been
processed gently at an organic mill and contains no chemical residue at all.
The
Shepherd's Dream
brand Eco-Wool pillows come in three different fill-weights for both standard and queen sizes.
That means whether you like your pillow thin or thick, you are sure to find one that is just right.
The
Holy Lamb
brand
Adjustable Wool Pillows
we carry are a comfortable and unique pillow filled with very small tufts of Eco-Wool.
We also have solid and shredded natural latex pillows by
Savvy Rest.
