Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What medical conditions do our wool products help with?

A: Those with fibromyalgia, chronic pain, back pain, arthritis, TMJ, headaches, insomnia, and sleep disturbances have all found relief using our wool bedding products. Our Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt eliminates pressure sores in bedridden patients. In addition, people have found they snore less when using a Hug Ewe™ Pillow.

Q: How do our wool products work to relieve aches and pains and help me sleep better?

A: Ninety percent of patients with fibromyalgia have some form of sleep disturbance, including difficulties falling asleep, frequent awakenings, inability to fall back to sleep, tossing and turning all night, and early morning awakenings. Fibromyalgia also commonly causes joint pain, cold sensitivities and headaches.

Our wool underquilts, comforters and pillows are helpful to those with fibromyalgia due to the natural properties of wool and the way it interacts with the human body.

Wool has a natural resilience as a result of the crimps (or "springiness") found in each wool fiber. These attributes create a natural weight-support system.

Wool also delivers therapeutic warmth, which works together with your body to temporarily relieve pain and stiffness by relaxing sore, tight muscles and conforming to the contours of your body to help you fall asleep.

Q: What product do you most recommend for relief of aches and pains?

A: If you want to start with just one product, try a Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt. Filled with 100% natural wool, the Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt functions to evenly distribute your weight to eliminate pressure points. By maintaining body temperature evenly, your body rids itself of the chemical byproducts that cause pain. No more getting out of bed feeling like you're tied in knots.

Q: Are you sure I won't overheat with wool?

A: Promise! No need to worry about becoming too warm using our wool underquilt. While wool insulates, it also breathes, bringing you up to your body temperature, never overheating.

Q: Which thickness of Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt should I order?

A: The Ultimate Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt is our most popular style. The wool filling in the underquilt works to reduce pain and muscle soreness by eliminating pressure points. This only happens if your body is completely suspended by the underquilt, so the more you weigh or the more severe the pain, the thicker the underquilt you'll need.

We recommend the Ultimate for people who need additional pain relief or who weigh more than 180 - 200 pounds.

Q: How do I make my bed with a Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt and a Snuggle ™ Comforter?

A: Make up your mattress with a normal fitted sheet, then place the Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt on top of that. Sleep directly on the underquilt. Dispense with a top sheet and sleep with the Comfort Ewe™ Comforter directly above you. Sleeping with the wool products as close to your skin as possible makes the most of wool's sleep-enhancing benefits.

Q: I have allergies and chemical sensitivities. Can I use your products?

A: Yes, more than likely. Wool is natural, pure and non-allergenic. The wool is cleaned with a very gentle organic soap, and no harsh dyes or chemicals are used. Wool resists dust mites, mold and mildew, making our Hug Ewe™ Pillows and other products perfect for people with allergies.

Q: How can I be sure your products will fit my bed?

A: Our products are all custom hand-made. |We will make them in all standard sizes. There are several different sizes of king mattresses, so please measure if in doubt. Our product pages give specific dimensions.

Q: What do I do if I don't see the size I need?

A: If you don't see your size listed, please contact us to talk about customizing an underquilt for your specific needs. We've made underquilts for hospital beds,travel trailer bunks and other unusually sized beds.

Q: I love my Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt so much I no longer want to be away from home overnight. I miss traveling. What do you suggest?

A: Purchase a Carry Ewe™ Traveler to take with you and enjoy a good night's sleep even away from home. The carrying case protects it and makes traveling a breeze.

Q: How long will it take for my order to arrive?

A: Each product is hand-made to your individual specifications. Your order will arrive via UPS within 14 - 21 days from placing your order.

Q: What do I do if I get my order, and I'm not happy with it?

A: We want you to get a good night's sleep! That's why all our products come with a 30 - day guarantee ( if the product has not been damaged or tampered with)

Q: How do I care for my products?

A: The most important thing you can to protect your Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt and your Snuggle Ewe™ Comforter is to purchase the washable coverlets for them.

In addition, everytime you wash your bedding, fluff and turn your Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt. Remove your Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt from your bed about every three months and air it out by placing it outside on a blanket for a few hours. Do NOT machine wash or dry clean wool products.
