I am thinking about making wool filled comforters. A mattress sounds interesting too.

Wool is naturally fire repellent and since my sheep have not been exposed to any noxious chemicals...not like a new mattress with things like memory foam and glues, etc. to poison you with.  Hoping to make a naturally wonderful sleeping arrangement.  I also have four ganders to  process and thinking...add some feather pillows and voila...natural self-sufficiency at its finest.
