They say when the student is ready the teacher will appear. This seems like the perfect solution for me. Thank you so much for sharing!
That was so dope! U just opened up my mind to new things. I am now going to make my own mattress
Girl, you take crafting to a whole new level. Now I really want to make one of these for my atelier.
Thanks! Let me know if you make one!
@@HilaryBarker I actually went to the website you mentioned, but could not find the one that you got. I only saw the ones that are already made.
I just checked the website and if you go to the "mattresses" section you'll find "DIY Mattress Kit + Ticking." You then add the wool separately, which is listed in the "fabrics and wool" section. Good luck!
@@HilaryBarker Thank you!!
They are great! I didn't know you could buy mattress kits like that.
IMPRESSIVE !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
YOU HAVE GREAT PATIENCE.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS.
Thank you, you have inspired me. I'm not in the USA but I can sew so Im going to make the whoe thing!!! big project.
" Standing Ovation " for your masterpiece ! Thanks for sharing , okay ?
Well done! I have to make also the outside in my own
maybe I’ll do that next time!
I been looking everywhere on youtube for ideas on making my own daybed. Im glad i watched your channel. Did a company custom make the sheets? If u don't mind me asking how much they did charge u? Please help. Thank u. Amazing job. Btw i like your voice. Calm and easy to understand
I've been wanting a Home of Wool mattress for 2 years. Next March the bonus check will pay for a custom split one I'll share with hubby and baby. A few interviews Rosica gave on talk shows got me to your videos. Thank you for sharing the making process.
One step they did after stuffing was beating the wool with a flat stick.
Did the cost seem cheaper when making it yourself? Seems like it wouldn't be by much with the wool fill being a separate cost.
So I made a toddler mattress three years ago by hand, like cut the fabric, stitched it, filled them etc.
It was quite a lot of work! I did that one just as a test before I did my queen size one. I ended up finding this place called Cotton cloud in Portland or. They sold my queen for $450 and it's firm but very comfortable. It's not "organic" but the wool comes from sheep who are pastured and the grass isn't sprayed. Their food is non GMO but since they're pastured, they eat mostly grass. The cotton exterior is cotton that isn't certified organic but they don't spray. It's a nice, small quality lace and I hadn't found it cheaper. It was harder than I thought so just putting it out there! ❤
very nice! You inspire me!
Love your videos !!
Thank you!!
What length and width did you make these? I really like them
Love it girl!!! Go u! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Donde has comprado la lana, ya lavada y cardada
Comment achète 1matela chez ?
Thanks for sharing! Will you give feedback sleeping on the 5 inch mattress vs the other one you made? both comfortable?
Both comfortable but it's hard to compare because I don't spend as much time on the 5 inch mattresses. They are in my living room as a daybed (currently frameless as I'm trying to custom make a frame) and so I lounge on them and have taken some naps on them, but not a full nights sleep. In the long term after the wool is fully compressed, the 5 inch will be not as soft as the 7 inch, but I'm not sure yet how big of a difference that is.

Better than a blanket on the floor! I've had THAT experience when I visited my Mom years ago! Her bed was always available though...but she liked her radio on all night... 🙏🙌
I really like the video ¡😻😻😻👏👏👏👏👍🤩
Where did you order this from??
Interested in doing this..
Home of Wool! I included a link to their website in the video description. I definitely recommend checking it out! There materials are a bit pricey but they are really good quality and ethically sourced.

I love you😊😊😊
2:14 Does it smell bad like goat hair?
How do you refill the mattress once empty? I mean once you tufted it, how can you re-fill it? Is there a hack?
I’m not sure! I probably wouldn’t entirely empty it and refill it because I think you’d probably have to tuft it all over again. I have added more wool once tufted and just spread a small amount throughout. If there is a hack, Home of Wool would know it, so you could ask them!
@@HilaryBarker Thank you for your reply. That's what I thought. although since the beds have zippers I was thinking that if you needed to wash it or something, and had to re-fill it, you would probably need to re tuft it all again. For sure.
@@Wolf_gatethese would not work for bedwetting children or other messy situations, since washing the cover is such an ideal. Make a removeable cover for it....still, I don't think there is a way to make it "waterproof" without using plastics.
Fica ate mas faço
Hello! Wonderful video! After a year of use, would you share how you feel? The wool should no longer be so fluffy and the mattress itself should be firmer. Are you still comfortable? I also had one done a year and a half ago, but it seems to have gotten stiffer and my shoulders hurt. I will be glad if you share how it is with you?
Thank you! With these particular mattresses, they are still not too firm because they aren’t used as much. For the mattress I sleep on, I agree that it became a bit too firm so I’ve put an organic latex mattress topper on it and now it’s perfect!
Thank you so much for the answer. By the way, I want to share what I did to solve this problem. I love the feel of the wool so much already and didn't want to replace the wool mattress but I don't have time to redo it (I made mine myself too) and I made 3 for my cousin too. She has noticed that the mattress that is surrounded on all sides with boards does not deform (split) and seems to be softer than the one that is not surrounded. So I bought some boards and upgraded my bed, now the mattress is surrounded on each side and it has really become softer. I don't have shoulder problem anymore. Maybe this type of mattress should have lateral support so that they don't destruct and stay more shaped and, accordingly, softer. Or it just happened that way for me, I still decided to share my experience ❤️
@@velizaraiv3251 I wouldn’t have thought of that! Thanks for sharing!
I made a mattress out of wool from my sheep a few years ago. I used atleast 6 huge fleeces from my down wool breeds. My mattress was very very tall and fluffy. Yes mine has compacted alot but is still several inches thick. I use it in top of a camping cot. This resulted in more compacting in the center. I believe if it was used on a floor or plywood base, it would be compacted more evenly.
However...I still love it. It is not even a box/ tufted style. My mattress actually reminds me of a basic black body bag. I'm making two more to fit a free futon frame I acquired. I cant wait! It's alot of work. Besides taking care of sheep ,washing wool takes alot of time and it does smell . That doesn't bother me, but my husband can't stand it.
The finished clean wool once ir is totally dry, just has a very clean scent. I love it!
@@velizaraiv3251 It’s about a year later, how is your mattress doing? Does it continue to be soft? I would love to make a wool mattress but hate to go to all this trouble and expense only to have to put a foam pad over my wool mattress, as this intrepid young lady has done.😢
Do you have any problems with moths, weevils and other insects that feed themselves with wool?
I haven’t, but that’s an important issue to consider! From my understanding moths can’t eat through cotton, so they wouldn’t be able to get through the cover to the wool. I also think moths (and other insects maybe?) are less likely to get at things that are out in the open as opposed to in a dark closet. Moths are also more attracted to dirty odorous wool, like a sweater you’ve been wearing and didn’t clean thoroughly, and the wool here stays nice and clean inside the case. But if you already have an insect infestation, I’d take care of that first before bringing so much wool into the home!
One more thing, as an extra precaution I put a few lavender sachets inside because they supposedly repel moths and other insects.

Thank you 🥰

How firm is it?
Hi! It starts out medium firm to soft and then as the wool compresses over time it becomes more firm.
