The Frankenmuth Woolen Mill was started in 1894 and all their products are made with all natural materials and produced without chemicals. The original building is still used, as is a lot of the original equipment. It is heirloom quality bedding that is sustainable, healthy, comfortable and made to last. There are many health benefits to using wool – it’s hypo-allergenic, which is good for those with allergies; it naturally repels dust mites, thus creating a healthier sleep environment; it’s chemical and dye free because of our unique on-site washing process; and steam is used to keep the lanolin in the wool. Sleep is the time for the body to refresh, rejuvenate and restore. Proper sleep rests the joints so that pain and swelling can be reduced. If people suffering from chronic pain are looking for relief, wool is the answer. The air pockets trap the body’s heat and eliminate hot and cold spots ensuring a restful night sleep. Sleeping on and with wool helps reduce pain significantly and provides a more restful sleep. Plus wool keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in the winter as it regulates your body temperature while providing a soft light covering or sleep base.
