Shepherd's Dream, pure and natural wool-filled bedding for better sleep!

Sensitivity Packet

The FREE Sensitivity Swatch Packet includes a swatch of:

Eco Domestic wool batting
Organic Cotton
Wool Textile - For All wool Mattress wrapped in cellaphane

For a more accurate test of your potential sensitivities to any of the above samples, do as follows:

Put each sample in its own separate and clean glass jar (make sure there are no lingering smells from previous use). Set the closed jars in a sunny windowsill and allow the sun to heat the jar, causing each sample to release its essence. Then smell the samples and look for a subtle sense of your body’s approval or disapproval.

You can also test these products by sleeping with a pillow for a minimal investment. The neck roll is a great ‘testing’ piece because it is inexpensive and will be testing one of the most sensitive spots – your cervical neck spine.

Some other things to be aware of:

Many people who have tested ‘allergic’ to wool in conventional allergy tests, are actually testing allergic to treatments applied to the wool fiber, such as bleaching, dyes and moth repellents. Our Eco-Domestic wool batting ‘fill’ is very rarely a problem for anyone. This wool is simply washed and carded. There are no toxic treatments used at all.

If you do find you are sensitive to the Eco-Domestic Wool, but only a little, keep in mind that wool self neutralizes quite quickly and with several months of airing will become quite a bit more neutral.

If you are dealing with extreme sensitivities within your immune system right now, it is always safer to use ‘old’ natural fiber items which have had the time to completely out gas. For very extreme sensitivities, allow airing and sunning time accordingly for your new wool bedding items, depending on the severity of your case (several days to 6 months). Air these items at a friend’s house or in a separate well-aired room so that you don’t develop a new sensitivity.

We do not take any bedding returns based on sensitivities. Therefore we suggest you begin with a small pillow item and work your way into larger wool-filled items gradually.
