Take a wool bedding adventure
We’ve got all kinds of unique local shopping opportunities here in Siskiyou County. Out in Montague Shepherd’s Dream is selling wool bedding products, from mattresses to comforters and pillows. Fluffy piles of wool batting greet you at the door of Shepherds Dream’s quiet shop in the farming community of Montague. The all-wool bed on display is welcoming, and certainly you are invited to snuggle into it in this exploration of natural bedding.
The Shepherd’s Dream sleeping system is based on the all-wool mattress, which begins with more than a foot of wool batting that is compressed into a comfortable mattress. When you lay down on the display bed you’ll be enjoying the full system: the handcrafted Douglas fir bed frame, the wool mattress with padded cover, organic cotton sheets, a light airy wool comforter, wool pillows and neck rolls. Take your time; sink into it. The company’s website extols the benefits of sleeping on a wool bed, noting that wool is breathable and better able to respond to your body’s temperature fluctuations as you sleep.
To learn more about the all-wool sleep system, visit the website at www.shepherdsdream.com. You’ll find a wealth of information about the processes and products and the evolution to the wool mattress. To try out the test bed at the shop, call ahead (530.459.3180) to ensure that the shop is open before you visit Montague, which is about 20 minutes east of Yreka, off Interstate 5.
While you’re in Montague, be sure to stop in at Ms. Lynn’s Tea for a light lunch and the chance to dress up while you take tea. Ms. Lynn’s is just down the street from Shepherd’s Dream.
