Shepherd's Dream
The products made by Shepherd's Dream are sustainable for a number of reasons. Their signature wool bedding regulates your temperature regardless of the season to keep people comfortable. Fans of wool mattresses describe them as feeling radically different from conventional mattresses here in the United States.
Many people report falling asleep easier and waking up without feeling stiff. They also make a natural latex mattress as an alternative to a wool mattress. This choice is also ideal for pain relief as the mattress conforms to any body shape while at the same time providing deeper, full-body support.
Shepherd's Dream evolved from the work Eliana Jantz began in 1984 and is still family-owned and managed. The Shepherd's Dream team has been refining the art of creating Pure Wool Bedding for over 30 years.
They take great pride in crafting some of the best quality natural bedding & mattresses made in the USA, designed to last for generations using only the purest, chemical-free materials sourced from local and sustainable farms.

In Their Own Words
As cottage industry bed makers, we believe in a cooperative work environment that encourages the unique skills of each individual. With dedication to the highest quality craftsmanship, we create a pure, unique wool bed while providing excellent customer service. As pioneers in the American natural mattress and bedding industry, we strive to demonstrate the use of proper materials, production techniques and lifestyle principles with a commitment to sustainable industry practices.
Our wool bed captures the wisdom of a different place and era. The wool bed is simple, natural, and expertly hand-made.
We use the highest-quality materials available and every item is hand-made in our northern California workshop. Our wool bedding is “heirloom” quality and made with the intention that many of our products will last a lifetime. We believe the current trend toward inexpensive “disposable” products that are short-lived and made in foreign countries is not sustainable.
We hope to communicate with a growing audience that desires a healthier home and living environment. Many of us question the wisdom of sleeping on mattresses made of petroleum-based foams. We are happy to teach people what we have learned about natural wool bedding and how to properly maintain a natural bed. After extensive research and experience, we believe that a properly maintained wool-filled bed is the most ideal sleep environment available.
Wool is the ideal fiber for bedding. It is naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, easy to care for, and passes strict flame tests without chemical treatment.
Shepherd’s Dream LLC is a critical link between wool growers and the sleeper who enjoys the benefits of wool. Through comprehensive and well-written product descriptions/web pages, our customers will know the whole story behind the wool-filled product from the sheep to the bed. By being well informed, the buyer has the opportunity to vote for the Eco-conscious (humane, toxin-free and local) Wool by purchasing these products. Eco Wool® is a program that seeks to reverse the trend of dwindling domestic wool production. By paying a fair price for Eco Wool®, we are reviving the market for North American wool AND letting wool growers know that there is a strong market for wool that is raised locally and without harmful chemicals.
We are happy to be a small business. In our ever-productive world, it seems that small businesses are giving way to giant profit-driven corporations. Instead of using that unsustainable model of growth and profit we strive to empower our local economy by creating jobs in our region that offer a living wage and a joyful work environment.
Natural wool bedding is only the beginning of our greener business. We try to make the best environmental choice in all aspects of our business.
Yes, we use organic cotton and natural, local wool… but we are doing much more than that! We make every effort to minimize our impact on the Earth. We re-use boxes, buy 100% Post-Consumer-Waste paper, recycle or reuse everything we can, use energy-efficient everything, even our hand-soap is organic! We are living proof that a business can (and is responsible for) make these green choices and still remain competitive with the bigger businesses. Customers have the power to decide with their dollars and we are happy to offer a greener bedding choice!
