The All Wool Mattress by Shepherd’s Dream

shepherdsdream.gif Yesterday we wrote about Indika, a company that specializes in organic bedding, and today we’re bringing you Shepherd’s Dream, a similar company that designs all natural wool-filled mattresses, bedding and pillows. The All Wool Mattress is filled with compressed wool batting and encased with a thick, soft, cream colored, blanket wool textile. The slatted bed frames are made out of fir wood with a number of styles to choose from. All of the wool that Shepherd’s Dream uses is from a program called EcoDomestic Wool, which seeks to reverse the trend of under-appreciating domestic wool. They make this clear by paying the EcoDomestic wool grower a fair price for their wool and educating the public about the importance of domestic resources. In addition, Eliana Jantz, founder of Shepherd’s Dream, initiated the still successful Pure Grow Wool Program with California’s Sonoma County Woolgrowers in 1993, developing a criterion of sustainable and responsible wool production practices. Thanks for the tip, Michele W.! ::Shepherd’s Wool
