Natural Bedding and What We Use

[@RainCountryHomestead]

PLEASE NOTE: It has come to my attention that I read the tag, ad, and more wrong on the pillow. While the case is organic cotton, the fill is synthetic. I apologize as I was not trying to lead any one astray. Just another lesson in reading the WHOLE listing and not part. What I can say is that it is still a very comfortable pillow and while I am disappointed to to learn it is not entirely natural, I am still happy with it kzbin.info5osQfKSzyis

[@mylightofhope]

Oh bummer! It happens though, thanks for the heads up! I've bought organic pillows from a variety of places, so you got me simmering about some I have but not sure I could figure out how to go look as I've had some for couple years or longer. We do the best we can do, all I can say.😁 For years now I've bought organic cotton sheets and try to on blankets as well though quilts are much harder to find organic so I settle on just 100% cotton. I'm excited though to check out the linen sheets you got as I'm in the market for another set of sheets for my bed. I too notice the heat sometimes and its so confusing some I know the material is supposed to breathe better. I used to think it was my mattress material but I specifically have purchased organic materials in my mattresses and they all proclaimed breathe better and not hold heat??? Great video bringing about awareness....as usual!❤

[@sandrad518]

I noticed that, but I'm still considering it due to being able to adjust it, that's a huge plus for me.

[@Kay-du4ll]

So easy to do! But sometimes you just need to say "oh well" because trying to find a decent pillow isn't easy! I am VERY happy with that pillow and so is my family. God bless!!

[@mscatnipper2359]

When you pulled out the pillow's stuffing, I thought, "That doesn't look like natural cotton." A long time ago, I had cotton-filled pillows and they became lumpy. They took a very long time to dry, and they were too heavy for me.

[@wuznotbornyesterda]

I really didn't believe that it was cotton when you said nearly dry in the spin...that very much sounded like not cotton, and cotton drying fast? Hardly! Thanks for the correction.

[@grammyspieface1]

I had a cleaning business for years , one woman I cleaned for ,she had all down pillows and every year I would send them to her dry cleaners and they took the seam out separated the down and washed all the feathers and dried they separately washed the pillow covers and then when the Feathers were dry and fluffy replaced in the pillow and closed up the seam ,those were the nicest pillows I have ever seen ,but of course way beyond my budget..But, cleaning for that woman taught me buying quality over quantity. Things of quality last many many years ,where cheaper things sometimes have to be replaced even twice a year. So I learned to buy the best that I can afford and the biggest thing was to take the best care of what I did buy .as years went on now I can buy good quality but I also find I don't need so many of one item because as I take care of them they serve me for a great many years ,and most good quality gets better with age!

Highly recommend Elfenbein Bedding. Family owned and run business, really excellent quality Hungarian down pillows and comforters, handmade by a husband-and-wife-and-son team in their workshop, and they can custom make for any bedding size. I don’t work for them, in case this sounds like an advertisement, just really pleased with my pillow and comforter, and love supporting small-scale family-owned businesses. I bought mine 2 years ago, and they're still just as good today as the day I got them. I hated being poked by awful feathers too Heidi, and the difference with down is night and day. Amazing temperature regulation. Funny that with all our human technology and know-how, God's own creations are still miles better.

[@Kay-du4ll]

You nailed it with the human technology vs God's own creations!!

[@lunayahmoonbeams]

I was fortunate enough to thrift a king linen sheet set that honestly I don’t believe was ever used. I won’t use another from now on. They are AMAZING! I believe they are the best fiber energetically to use against our bodies. Synthetic fibers build up such static charges and I feel affect us negatively, while linen is very neutral and has such a calming effect on the human body. Plus the more I use and wash them the better they feel❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼

I've also read that linen helps to block radiation - not sure if that's true, but it made sense to me at the time!

@lamia2845 becoming a farmgirl, you tube, she wears alot of linen and buys everything 2nd hand, she is in Maryland, she has bought 2nd hand some of the most beautiful linen pieces. I see other channels that have sponsors such as Brooke linen, which are very expensive.. Just can't afford that. But to find a good set used would be amazing, as long as still good condition.Sometimes people just get rid of stuff and I don't think they even realize the QUALITY of what they actually have. I will be doing alot more 2nd hand shopping coming up here ,especially as people get ready to reset their homes for spring . 2nd hand stores should be flush..

[@carlenerosinski5095]

Do a study on youtube about the health benefits of linen. It's amazing! It has a frequency of 1000 only equal to wool. It is suggested to not wear them together because they cancel each other out. The body's natural frequency when healthy is 100. Wearing synthetics actually drain the body's frequency thus make it more vulnerable to sickness & disease.

I grew up sleeping on down pillows. These were pillows that were made from a feather mattress that belonged to my grandmother. My mother took them to a laundry mat that took all the feathers out and washed them and dried them in a big something that warm air blew in the container and dried and fluffed them up. Then they made new pillows from pillow ticking and put the feathers back in. I think several pillows were made out of that mattress. Then I grew up, married, moved to my own home and took my two feather pillows with me. My husband brought his two old hand made feather pillows from his mommas house. I would periodically put them in the drier on cool air and fluff them up. Helps with the dust too. Eventually, I washed them by removing the feathers and putting them in thin pillow cases. Then washed them in gentle cycle in the washer and then dried them on cool setting in my drier. Then I went and bought more pillow ticking and made new pillow covers. When the feather were dry, I put them in the pillow case. All dealings with the feather were outside. lol of course feathers being natural, they did finally come apart and became nothing but a pillow full of lint. The original feathers of that mattress came from the birds my grandmother had on the farm. I believe they were duck down or goose down. I don’t think chicken down works as well. I have no experience with commercially made down pillows.

I have used a buckwheat hull pillow for the last 35 years - geez I feel old! I even have to take it with me when I travel. It IS firm, but not hard, and it conforms to your head and neck. But if you need a soft pillow, you probably won't enjoy it. I periodically switch out the hulls as they smooth out over the years and it reduces the size of the pillow. But I am 4'10", which is pretty dang short and "normal" pillows are just too big for the crook of my neck.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I am only 5' myself, which is likely why I had to remove more than half of the stuffing from mine

[@melaniewetzstein8585]

Frankenmuth Wiolen Mills makes wool bedding here in us. They have been in business for over 100 years. New Zealand and Australia have done research on benefits of sleeping on wool with interesting finds. Wool is also warm and cooling as well as antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal. It could be another good source

PS "Natural Organic Foam" can be made out of Soy. I was looking into it. When i saw that i went hunting for Other foam. I have feather pillows. They poke out the fabric. I found it odd, since i bought expensive Canadian Huttertite Pillows. But they had a flawed batch of Ducking Fabric. I did contact them. They did not offer any options to help. But i have a lot of troubles, not getting lumps during the night, which put my shoulder or neck out. But i still find them better than chip foam, or batting filled. I just bought Organic Cotton. I hunted Linen. But i found the price way too high for me! Linen? Has a Special Charge to that fibre. It has the ability to Discharge and Balance the Frequency and Static Charge of the human using it.

Love the buckwheat hull pillow. Dust mites do not survive on them, so it's a win for when you have allergies to them. No more watery eyes, excess yawning, stuffy nose when going to bed... those are allergy symptoms! We all have mites that live on our skin, and it's nice knowing that they cannot live within my bedding and leave their trails behind .. or in my 100% natural latex mattress. Thanks for the video Heidi!

After a car accident that damaged my heart and spine, I struggled to find a pillow. I have a required CPAP to assist my heart at night. I bought 7 pillows trying to find something that worked.

I have 4 sets- 2 for each bedroom. When buckwheat pillows came out years ago, I stopped by a booth in the mall to give one a squeeze. I didn’t like the feel of it, and I tried several. I’m a belly sleeper so like you, I like a pillow that I can mold to support my head and neck. I also constantly turn my pillow because I look for cooler spots. I actually have 4 feather pillows on each bed. Two for main sleeping and two for the pillow shams. I love the idea of putting on 2 pillow cases, I had never thought of that. Thanks! Shalom!

Bamboo pillows are very nice. Soft, they hold their shape, they're comfortable, and easy to wash and dry. I bought one a year ago, quite dear I thought, about £60. But it's worth it. The only down side is their size is bigger than standard pillows so standard pillow slips don't fit. You have to buy pillow slips from the firm that sells the bamboo pillows. They're dear too. About £50. Bamboo is healthy, organic, anti bacterial. So we'll worth having.

Oh, Heidi, how incredibly timely!! Thank you for talking about this!! We've always just used whatever we could find/afford but now that we are in a place in life (in every sense!) that it's more feasible to be more particular about what we do, we are looking into new pillows, bedding (sheets, blankets, quilts), and mattresses. We have a set of microfiber sheets that we do not like for various reasons so we hardly use them but I keep them as a backup. We also have a set of cotton sheets but they are OLD (we got them secondhand for free when we were homeless so who knows exactly how old they are) and every time I hang them (we don't have a dryer) I can't help but notice how thin they are getting. I want to replace them ASAP but I don't want to buy just any old sheets. I want to invest in GOOD, natural ones. Pillows, blankets/quilts, and mattresses, too, of course. Same goes for our childrens' sleep stuff. One thing at a time, though. We've saved up a sizeable chunk towards this investment but we can't afford to do it all at once. I doubt anyone else here can, either. My husband's best friend has a buckwheat pillow. His is HARD and it's HEAVY. You fill to your liking, is my understanding, so I guess he just likes sleeping on a cinder block LOL And yes, incredibly disappointing and discouraging how much stuff isn't made here. Definitely going to come back here in a few hours to scope out the suggestions fellow viewers have 😊 Thanks again, Heidi!

Also, one of the reasons why we never tried the better, more expensive options (especially for pillows and mattresses) before is that you won't know how much you like or dislike it until you try it. It's still a hurdle to get over, but, I mean, you really *won't* know until you try, right?

Golden! Thank you, I really appreciate you sharing your experience with the pillows ans sheets.😊

[@alicerafferty9595]

They aren't actual buckwheat pillows they are the hulls or chaff. They aren't soft but they will hold your head firmly. The are light and smell like a wheat field, which is pleasant.The Chinese use them. They also use straw mattresses.

Those are nice. The extra elastic is a nice touch.

I got natural rubber pillows and matress. I love the matress a lot and the only thing I didnt like about the pillow, is it was too big for me. Great for alergies and poison free

[@Kathleen-hn7ml]

I'm ordering the pillow you recommended! Thank you so much ❤ I've been searching

OH MY GOSH! I HAVE FELT LIKE THAT TOO 12:04!!! SAME WITH THE PILLOWS! 🥵

[@sharonpasquini5772]

A little confused because the link you provide says the cover is 100% organic cotton, the fill is premium polyester Pearl fiber.

[@foxymineralmakep]

Well I ordered the pillow per your review. I did not read what the pillow actually had inside. I assumed (silly me!) that it was cotton filled as you said. So I being curious opened the pillow it look at this amazing cotton which I immediately knew it was poly fill. Hmm. It is not a cotton pillow. The cover and the case itself are cotton. But the inside is poly. It is a nice pillow. However not all natural and I am disappointed about that and that I didn’t read the description first. Although had I read it I would not have spent $40 on a poly filled pillow BUT I actually do like it. It’s on the couch for a back support. Welp on to the search again for natural alternatives to down. Thank you for the video. But I want to let you know it is NOT 100 percent cotton. Just the cover.

Yes, and I realized this after shooting this video and made it a point to not only put a community post and pinned comment above apologizing for my mistake but also mentioned it in the following Monday Vlog, again apologizing for my error.

I just use the cheapest ones from kohls and change out every few years , because I have to have a very thin one.

[@tammyharder7488]

I always had a feather pillow growing up by I had asthma and allergies I was allergic to it so I bought cotton like that and sewed my own pillows many years ago and I have never had to buy any for myself since I keep them in a allergy type case and then put my pillowcase over the top of that.

[@KerbyDaFrog]

Great content ty.

[@vivianking8143]

This was interesting; I have looked off and on today and cannot find one source that the sheets are not made in China or India. Recently I made a day/work skirt out of 100% linen and can tell such a difference from the cotton ones I have always worn in spring/summer here in the south, lots of heat and humidity. I have another piece to make a top. I suppose if I had the time and great inclination I could make my own sheets ")), but.... Appreciate all your videos. In Joy

Rough Linen co. 100% American. Expensive but they will last a life time.

I have buckwheat hull pillows but never use them. They are crunchy and I never found them comfortable. They were of the original ones made and didn't come with the zipper. They can't be washed according to the manufacturer but the seam can be cut and the hulls removed to a storage bin so the shell can be washed. It was pure misery getting the hulls back in place. There isn't any way I'd recommend them.

[@KarenSmith-ys3sk]

I have some Belgium linen sheets,they are alittle bit cheaper in price then the French type. I've had mine over 5 years and they look like brand new. I might get the pillows,Heidi that u showed. I also have some winter linen sheets that have lasted me for some time,and I have cotton Egyptian sheets at 1800 count,that r also very good. Great video,prayers for ur family to get thru ur loss.

Curious about mattress. I have heard nothing but good on birch living. However, doesn't seem to be anywhere around me that you can even see/try in person. They are spendy just like our temperpidic (love) but need new after 16 t years. Looking for more natural bedding. I think I may try linen sheets. I really like more natural. Have bamboo now and love, however it was not 100% but rather a blend. I will admit I think I am a sheet snob, but I enjoy a great night sleep and enjoy😊

[@darleneschreiber9415]

We LOVE our linen sheets! But, they're made in China. Maybe our next set won't be. :)

[@belindaayewoh437]

I have always loved 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, the heavy weight ones. Never thought about linen sheets. Just ordered a set. Not ordering the pillow, though. I'm a side sleeper and my Chiropractor recommended the side pillow cause my right shoulder and neck always need adjusting. Anyone have any recommendations?

[@0809marshall]

I found some sheets that are 55% cotton & 45% linen. Is it ok to mix the cotton & linen together like that, or would you recommend 100% cotton or 100% linen only?
