There is a lot of hand work I need to do there, so I am leaving this site up until all that work is done.

All new entries will go on the new site.

All the entries from this site are on the new site, but may not be formatted.

Thanks for your patience during this transition.

This is the site I recommend most for inexpensive natural fiber mattresses. "Handcrafted natural fiber mattresses, pillows, and accessories without toxic chemicals" since 1981. They make all-cotton mattresses without springs because "the use of steel in mattresses is responsible for enormous amounts of air and water pollution every year, not to mention the devastation that strip mining has on the land where coal and iron ore are extracted." In addition, each and every mattress has been made entirely by hand. "I can put a mattress-crafter in a room with a natural fabric mattress case, a bale of cotton, a needle, some thread, and just her two hands, and she will come out with a 100% handmade mattress that is more comfortable, more supportive, will not poison the earth or the sleeper and costs less than $300." Made from "green" cotton scrap fibers (they are too short to spin for textiles) which have had had no chemical processing after harvesting--no bleaching, fungicides or dyes. They also make pillows filled with kapok, buckwheat, wool, buckwheat/wool, or organic cotton, wool toppers, and "The Stowaway"--a smaller version of their mattress that can be rolled up, tied, and carried for an exercise mat or traveling. Also organic cotton sheets, 100% cotton mattress pads, and bedroom furniture. "The environmental stewards at White Lotus believe that if the cost of saving the earth and protecting one's health was out of reach for most people's budgets, true progress would never be made. For that reason, in part, White Lotus is very efficient with resources and keeps its prices where almost everyone can take part in making the world a better place." 100% of their energy is supplied by wind power.

Lullaby Earth

Gold StarNon ToxicMade in USA

"A revolutionary lightweight baby crib mattress that offers all the benefits you want in a crib mattress without any harmful chemicals or allergens."  The mattress weighs only seven pounds, so it's easy to lift when changing the sheets, which is particularly helpful with the newer cribs that no longer have the drop-side features.  And it's also affordable (not one of those high-priced models).  Made of food-grade PE and PETE and designed to be free from harmful chemicals and allergens.  You can even recycle this mattress when it’s outgrown.  The mattress contains no polyurethane foam (including "soybean" foam blends), vinyl/PVC, polyurethane coated nylon or damask, PFC water-resistant treatments, antibacterial biocides and the various chemicals associated with these materials.  Fire protection is achieved with hydrated silica, a harmless natural mineral.  Made by the family who also created the Naturepedic mattresses.  Tested by independent third-party laboratories and certified to meet the GREENGUARD® Children & Schools Certification standard and their even more stringent "Select" Certification standard.

Shepherd's Dream

Gold StarNon ToxicRenewableOrganicMade in USAHandmadeMCSAffiliate

This company is about wool--sleeping on it and under it, cuddling with it, and loving the wool and the sheep and the land. Founder Eliana Jantz has been working with wool as long as I've been writing about natural products (her daughter now runs the business). Eliana led the development of EcoDomestic Wool, "a collaboration which involves the sheep growers, wool processors, product makers and promoters in gradually developing an infrastructure which ensures environmentally friendly and sustainable practices and fair prices to the woolgrower." All within a few miles distance, the sheep are pastured, the wool is milled, and the products are sewn by local women in a renovated storefront, all in site of majestic Mt. Shasta in northern California. Outfit your entire bed with wool mattress, comforter, and pillows, and you won't need to count sheep to get a good night's sleep. They also sell materials to make your own beds and bedding, including their gorgeous Montague Ecowool batts, scrap wool batting (great for stuffing pillows, soft toys or insulation for drafty spots), organic cotton (twill, sateen, muslin), wool fabric, and melton wool blanket fabric.
