Description
Experience the direct benefits of wool with our versatile Heartfelt Wool Medicine Felts. Wool felts work great as a top layer on a your bed since they are hand washable. Thick and cozy, wool felts are the perfect addition to every bed. Keep in mind that each Heartfelt Wool Medicine Felt is a piece of art and may vary within a few inches from the advertised size. Our natural/ivory colored wool felts are 100% “World Class” wool from New Zealand. The colorful Heartfelt logo is placed in the corner of each felt.
Our marbled dark colored wool is domestically produced. The color changes are according to wool availability and we are unable to guarantee an exact shade. The marbled dark wool is perfect for use on the floor. A grey version of the Heartfelt logo is placed in the corner of this felt.
Wool Felts are Versatile
- Lightweight, compact travel bed
- Stretching or yoga pad
- Floor rugs or mats
- Baby bed pads
Each felt is created by pouring hot soapy water on batting and then stomping on the wool. This process causes the fluffy wool batting to shrink into a dense solid pad. We complete the process by washing the felt in a washing machine. The result, is a beautiful, thick, hand washable wool pad that can be used in so many ways!
Wool Felting – An Ancient Tradition
In Mongolia, wool is felted and used as the walls for their yurts, hammocks and clothing. Today, wool is felted into slippers, purses, hats, jackets, shoes, dolls and more! We sell our wool batting if you would like to explore with felting wool.

The kids are sleeping better and longer hours! We got Heartfelt Wool Medicine Felts for each of my kids’ beds a couple of months ago. Since then my 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter have slept deeper (wake up less in the night) and sleep in longer than before. Especially my son loves how cozy it feels and will lay in bed day dreaming in the mornings until we snuggle him out of bed! My daughter said her bed feels like “a warm hug that wraps her up at night.” The felts are really affordable and once the kids grow out of their beds we can use the felts for the couch or picnic-ing etc. Thank you Shepherd’s Dream!

I used to say quiet little mantras to go to sleep. And they are all very helpful.
But, as I add one layer at a time of medicine felt to my bedroll – the ‘mantra’ has become –
i love my bed. i love my bed. I love my bed.
The deep medicinal purposes of these wool felts cannot be over-expressed.
Truly healing. Quiet and supporting.

I am now buying my 3rd medicine felt. I prefer to sleep on a hard surface with only 1 to 1.5 inches of cushioning to protect my skeleton and muscles from getting sore. But I was having trouble finding the right material that would give the right amount of support. These felts are perfect! They’re warm without causing me to overheat. They’re soft enough to feel comfortable without making my back sore. I love them a lot!The thickness of each felt really does vary, so don’t expect industrial standards. You don’t need them because these felts are AMAZING!!

In July of 2017, we bought 8 queen sized wool felt pads to replace our conventional mattress. It was significantly more firm than our conventional mattress had been but it only took us a few days, less than a week, to become accustomed to it. We both love it. It keeps us at just the right temperature through both summer and winter, and as a bonus we find it easier to sleep while backpacking with just the sleeping mat because we are already used to a firmer sleep surface. It has not “settled” or “compacted” hardly at all in the time we’ve been using it.

I bought the New Zealand felts many years ago but hadn’t slept on them until a month ago. It’s quite hard to start sleeping on felts because my almost 30-year-old bed was still very comfortable and because of the extra work that I need to do every morning (letting the felts to air dry because my bed frame doesn’t have any slats). Then one day I finally made up my mind to start sleeping on them. During the first 2 weeks, I found myself still making excuses to go back to my old bed. But the felts proved to be more comfortable to sleep on that now I love sleeping on them every night, unless when I need to wake up very early in the morning. Thank you for the lovely felts ☺️
