Few things in life are as important as a good night's sleep. When we sleep, the innate wisdom of our physical body turns fully inward to re-balance and heal itself. Natural, wool-filled bedding enhances this process more than any other bedding material.

Unknowingly, most people are sleeping in toxic, synthetic and/or 'elecro-magnetically challenged' sleeping environments. Metal coils are used in the standard American boxspring and innersprings, disturbing the natural electromagnetic fields around the human body, and often giving less than ideal support. Most of the materials used in commonly available mattresses are synthetic, and do not respond appropriately to your resting body's constantly changing needs.

The sleeping environment should be natural and breathable. It should provide optimal temperature and humidity conditions. To achieve this, Shepherd's Dream uses washed and carded wool-fill for all of the components of the Woolbed. While you sleep, your body is constantly heating up and cooling itself, while releasing toxins in the form of perspiration. Wool responds appropriately to these changes, providing a naturally 'temperature controlled' and 'dry' environment. Wool is comfortable in any and all climates. It gives comfort for differing partner 'climate' needs and preferences.

Description of The Woolbed Components:

The foundation of the Woolbed is the All Wool Mattress on a Slatted Frame. 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.

Shepherd's Dream Beauty is a slatted bed frame (with optional headboard). We also offer the Low Frame for young families and anyone who prefers sleeping closer to the floor. For those who want to convert an existing frame to allow for the all wool mattress on slats, Shepherd's Dream now offers the Custom Insert, which is designed to replace the typical box spring mattress. The option for latex padded slats is incorporated into the frame designs and can be added at any time.

Whether you are sleeping on the All Wool Mattress on slats, or an already existing mattress of any kind, we always recommend the use of the WOOL SURROUND , which includes the wool-filled mattress mate , a wool-filled comforter, wool-filled sleep pillows and neck rolls - all encased in organic cotton . It will transform your immediate sleeping environment into a truly friendly micro-climate for your sleeping body, regardless of the underlying mattress.

However, for the most ideal bedding system, we suggest you sleep on the All Wool Mattress on a slatted bedframe with the WOOL SURROUND.
