How Our Pillows Are Made

Every year the sheep are shorn (haircuts) in the spring. The wool is then washed in mild dish soap here on the farm. Then the wool is cut and lightly felted to make the fluffy wool down balls. The fully wool down is then stuffed into our 4 different types of pillows.

This Wooly “Down” pillow can be shaped like a down pillow for perfect comfort. The secret is the tiny wool fluff balls. The tiny wool fluff balls are similar to down feathers in the sense that you can move the filling around to any shape you desire. The wool pillow is machine washable, if you follow special washing instructions.

3 great reasons to buy a wooly down pillow

1. Comfort

  • No sweating: breathable wool wicks moisture away from you
  • Shapeable: you can shape the pillow to fit your body
  • Hypoallergenic: the wool resists mold & mildews and repels dust mites
  • Increase REM sleep: studies show REM sleep can be increased by 20% and lowers resting heart rate
  • Comes with a zipper so you can easily add more fluff or take some out if it is too thick

2. Safety

  • No fire-retardants: Polybrominated diphenyl eithers or PBDE are the most used fire retardant in pillows. PBDEs are linked to cancer, reproductive problems and impaired fetal brain development.
  • No dust mite feces to breathe in: A down or cotton pillow can have over 2 pounds of dust mite feces in it. YUCK!
  • No petrochemicals to breathe: Polyester and polyurethane foam pillows have the highest amount of petrochemicals in them. No synthetic materials off gassing.

3. Responsible eco friendly

  • Renewable: Since the wool grows back every year, the sheep need a haircut annually to keep them healthy and happy
  • Compostable: the wool and the cotton cover are compostable
  • Support small farms: hand crafted in Colorado on a small family farm
  • Organically grown sheep: loved and hugged daily
  • Sustainable Wool: the flock is managed in a humane, chemical-free and environmentally thoughtful manner.

Rest easy knowing that you have a safe chemical free pillow that is eco friendly and gives you all the support and comfort that you want.
