    Treat yourself to the best sleep of your life with Sonoma Wool Company’s luxurious American made all-natural wool bedding line.

    Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt lost in the pillow aisle? Picking the perfect pillow can be overwhelming, think about it – do you really want to have your head laying on synthetic fibers treated with chemicals for eight hours every night? We assure you, the best bedding is made of wool!

    Natural, breathable, and oh so soft! Wool can draw moisture away from the body when you’re hot, and keep you warm when the temperature drops. Sonoma Wool Company began at Pozzi Ranch, a sheep ranch in the coastal region of Northern California. They believe in supporting local farmers, ranchers, and makers. Keeping the valuable dollar in local economies is important to keeping the communities thriving.

    Wool bedding is the kind of bedding that you don’t want to leave. Choose the best bedding to rest in each night – Sonoma Wool Company’s Wool Bedding line is uniquely superior to any synthetic fibers on the market. Wool is a breathable fiber offering you year-round comfort. You will never be too hot or too cold while sleeping surrounded by wool bedding. The fiber is flame retardant – making it a safer all-natural alternative to other fibers. Naturally resistant to dust mites, bed bugs, mold, and mildew, making it longer lasting. Rest easy knowing our wool is sourced exclusively from family-owned ranches in the USA.

    Wool Pillow

    • Naturally wick away moisture, and help regulate your body temperature for a restful sleep.
    • Naturally hypo-allergenic, and resistant to dust mites and flames.
    • Available in soft, medium and firm so you can find the perfect density! Just keep in mind that our pillows typically compress 15-20% with regular use during the first few months.
    • Soft – for stomach sleepers.
    • Medium – for side and back sleepers.
    • Firm – for extra support while sitting up in bed, or for surrounding and supporting your body.
    • From customer feedback, people of smaller frames may prefer a density softer than their usual preference.

    Wool Comforter

    Sonoma Wool Company’s Wool Bedding Collection is pure luxury. To create this Wool Comforter, they take the wool batting, and encase it in 100% cotton fabric. It is hand-tufted, with a row of stitching on the perimeter to hold the wool in place. (No more waking up wondering where the fill in your comforter has gone!) Completely natural, never any dyes or chemicals.

    Wool Mattress Topper

    Sonoma Wool Company’s Wool Mattress Toppers sit atop your mattress and underneath your fitted sheet. The wool is encased in a durable all-cotton fabric and provides an extra layer of comfort and natural temperature-regulation for a good night’s sleep.

    This Wool Mattress Topper is about 1-1/2 inches thick, specifically designed so as not to interfere with the depth of your fitted sheet sizes. This fantastic, luxurious Wool Mattress Topper is designed to help you get to sleep quicker and stay asleep longer.

    Breathable, absorbent, and anti-microbial, here at Sonoma Wool Company they are working to bring this super-fiber back in style! Sonoma Wool Company does not use wool that is carbonized. They choose to offer an all-natural product with residual specks of vegetation because they believe it is best for the environment and the people who will be using their wool products.

    The Ultimate Undies for Your Health & Your Environment!

    While most big-name underwear brands use regular cotton fabrics made of materials that include carcinogens and other chemicals, lingerie expert and former designer of Fleur du Mal, Caroline Argirokastritis had other plans when starting La Coochie, the new wave in sustainable undergarments.

    La Coochie’s 100% toxic-free underwear betters your body AND the environment, resulting in better sex, comfort, and style! Using certified GOTS organic cotton and Oeko Tex lace trim, La Coochie underwear is free from harmful substances like formaldehyde and nickel AND help prevent yeast, vaginal, and bladder infections.

    La Coochie is a collection of everyday sexy underwear better for your body, especially your coochie. Why? Simple. Regular cotton is toxic because it is full of chlorine, carcinogens, and other chemicals. La Coochie uses certified GOTS organic cotton, which has none of those harsh chemicals. La Coochie’s new standard of safe, sexy, & sustainable cotton underwear prices ranging from $12 to $14. La Coochie is available on their website here;

    Shop organic cotton underwear for non-toxic comfort everyday.

    Question – Ever wonder what that ‘pocket’ in your underwear is for? Surprise, it’s not to keep things in. It’s to add another layer of thickness for hygiene and absorbency. Most companies don’t sew it down in an effort to save time. La Coochie believes in ultimate comfort, so they take the extra time to sew it down so it never bunches after that first wash. Quality should last through many washes.

    Heavy metals, ammonia, formaldehyde, petroleum, chlorine, and phthalates. Nope, we’re not having a science class. These are all chemicals you can find in non-organic cotton (aka toxic fabrics). ⁠Disgusting, huh? How ‘bout we skip all that nonsense and shop non-toxic organic cotton and protect our sensitive areas instead?!

    La Coochie just has really high standards and they want to be able to give you the best for your body without sacrificing sexiness. ⁠

    Priority: Coochie safety ⁠

    Bonus: Feminine details and a super soft waistband so you feel great and gross elastic marks⁠

    Your coochie is one of the most absorptive organs of the body. Certified organic cotton is free of toxic chemicals like chlorine, formaldehyde, carcinogens, and other harsh chemicals.  Cotton is naturally breathable and helps prevent yeast, vaginal, and bladder infections. La Coochie‘s cotton fabric is certified with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), which is the highest standard in the world, while having a low impact on the environment. Organically grown cotton saves vasts amounts of water and is grown without harmful toxic insecticides, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. The GOTS supports organic cotton farmers and producers by providing and guaranteeing living wages and humane treatment of their factory employees.

    La Coochie is a collection of everyday sexy underwear better for your body, especially your coochie. Why? Simple. Regular cotton is toxic because it is full of chlorine, carcinogens, and other chemicals. La Coochie uses certified GOTS organic cotton, which has none of those harsh chemicals.

    La Coochie pioneered the idea of everyday cotton underwear with modern silhouettes. They offer unparalleled designs using thoughtful feminine details and sustainable materials. They don’t think you should compromise your style for comfort or quality for price. That is why they have created a new standard of cotton underwear that is not only safe for your body but sexy enough to get caught in.

    La Coochie partnered with sustainable fabric mills to develop their certified toxic-free fabrics. La Coochie factories are regularly audited and certified with safe working conditions for their employees. Each style and size is fit and measured against real women of all shapes. And because they don’t believe in boring, La Coochie adds feminine and sexy details… hello leg trimmed high-leg.

    La Coochie’s 100% toxic-free underwear betters your body AND the environment, resulting in better sex, comfort, and style! Using certified GOTS organic cotton and Oeko Tex lace trim, La Coochie underwear is free from harmful substances like formaldehyde and nickel AND help prevent yeast, vaginal, and bladder infections.
