HOW OUR WOOLY DOWN IS 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 fluffy wool down is then stuffed into our 4 different types of pillows or you can buy bags of it for your own homemade pillows or craft projects.

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 for your pillows and projects

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

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 is compostable
Support small farms: hand crafted in Colorado on a small family farm
Our sheep’s life: chemical-free, nurtured, and cuddled every day
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 fluff that is eco friendly and gives you all the support and comfort that you want.

Our Pint Size Wool Pillow is different.

Each pillow is made from the wool of sheep raised here on our farm and carefully handcrafted. Wool is naturally breathable and moisture regulating, helping create a comfortable place to rest whether you are using it on the couch, in the car, or for a quick afternoon nap.

Wool also naturally resists dust mites and bacteria, creating a cleaner and more comfortable pillow without synthetic materials or chemical treatments.

The pint size pillow measures about 12 x 18 inches, making it perfect for children, travel, reading on the couch, or keeping close by for those moments when you just need a little extra comfort. Each pillow is sewn closed and comes with a soft cotton or flannel casing, available in six different colors.

And because this pillow is made entirely from natural wool and cotton, it has one more job after many years of use. When the pillow has finally reached the end of its life, it can be returned to the garden.

From sheep… to sleep… to soil

How to plant your retired pillow

Choose a garden bed or planting area with good drainage. Dig a hole about 6 inches deep. Place the pillow into the hole and cover it completely with soil. Plant seeds or transplants directly above the spot. Pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, flowers, and other heavy-feeding plants especially enjoy the nutrients.

As the wool slowly breaks down, it releases nutrients and helps hold moisture in the soil. Plant roots grow down into the fibers and benefit from this natural slow-release fertilizer.

It’s a simple idea we believe in here on the farm: Products made from the earth should one day be able to return to the earth.

The convertible bed pillow is the size of a standard pillow measuring 15 x 24 inches. The casing is 100% off-farm certified organic cotton. It has a zipper in it so you can add fluff or take fluff out as needed.

Should you throw away your pillow?

 If you are struggling to sleep it might be your pillow!  If you sleep on a Polyurethane foam and polyester pillows most include harsh fire retardant materials.  Researchers have found that sleeping pillows are top on the list of having the highest amount of PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers).  PBDEs have been linked to cancer, reproductive problems and impaired fetal brain development.

 If you have a down or cotton stuffed pillow these pillows have been found to be a breeding ground for allergens and molds. In 2 years, a down or cotton pillow can accumulate up to 2 pounds of dust mite feces!  Just think about breathing in dust mite feces all night long, YUCK!

Lucky for us there is a perfect solution to this pillow dilemma.  Wool pillows!  Chemical free wool pillows have no fire retardants or other chemicals. They are not good housing for dust mites and are antimicrobial and antibacterial

BONUS! Did you know that wool pillows have been found to increase REM sleep by 20% and lower the resting heart rate of those who sleep on it?  

Once we learned the story behind pillows, we tossed ours in the trash and set out to make the perfect wool pillow from the abundant wool our flock provides.  After some trial and error we came up with the perfect pillow fluff.  

Our standard bed pillow, which we named the convertible pillow, has a zipper on one end so you can take out or add fluff to make the pillow perfect for you. The pillow is machine washable if done with care.

When you are laying in your bed tonight, think about what might be in your pillow that you are breathing in for 8 hours a night.

We have been selling our pillows for over 9 years and they are one of the most loved products that we create, right here on the farm. I take my pillow with me on every trip I go, I just love it!  I sleep in peace knowing what I am not breathing in all night long.

If you are wanting a chemical free, dust mite feces free wool pillow now is the time to get one!
