Home of Wool - Custom Airstream Mattresses and Cushions

Ashley Longnecker / December 15, 2019

Back in 2017, when we were finishing up our 6 month renovation of our 1972 Airstream, it was time to start thinking about cushions.

With the project already over budget, we were trying to get it done as quickly and as cheaply as possible. Things like cushions and mattresses didn’t get much thought, honestly.

We went with the cheapest solution we could find, which turned out to be your standard highly toxic foam.

We knew it wasn’t the best option, but for just $300 we could get everyone a mattress and cushions for the dinette up front. Add in fabric at around $150 and a sweet Amish lady who sewed our cushion covers for just $200, it was a steal!

After nearly 3 years in the Airstream on the same foam cushions, it was time for an upgrade. I researched for weeks trying to find the perfect solution. We had a few goals in mind - we wanted them to be:

• Non-Toxic/Chemical Free
• Organic/Sustainable Materials
• Good Price

We managed 2 out of 3 :)

Research

My research lead us to Home of Wool. They're a company in Europe that is dedicated to making the highest quality items from the purest materials possible. I actually heard of them through our friend @thestreamlinedlife when she purchased mattresses for her kids beds in their RV.

Before we committed to ordering our bedding, we decided to try out their pillows. Ours really needed replaced, so this would give us an idea of the quality so we could decide if we were ready to make the investment of wool mattresses and cushions.

Believe me, this was a big investment. Not only in terms of your budget, but in your health and wellness.

We received the pillows quickly and the craftsmanship was extremely impressive. I mean, it’s just a pillow, but their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We ordered the standard pillows and wool pillow protectors.

Ashley Longnecker / September 15, 2019

Okay friends, let’s talk.

If you’ve been around here any length of time you know our preferred method of camping is boondocking on public lands.

In fact, we love it so much we even made an in-depth video course to teach others how to do it!

Family Fun in Medora, ND

Jonathan Longnecker / July 09, 2019

When asked what I wanted to do for my birthday this year, for once I already knew. I wanted to go to Theodore Roosevelt National Park!

Driving through South Dakota last year we threw around the idea of heading north for a weekend to ‘check off North Dakota’ on our state map. Little did I know that North Dakota would turn out to be one of the prettiest states we have visited so far!

After lots of research, we finally decided to make it happen. A 10 hour weekend drive got us there just in time for my birthday. But the party was just getting started!

We had a fun-filled week working with the adorable town of Medora, ND. We stayed at the Medora Campground which is unusual for us, but being a quick walk from all the activities in town was a huge bonus!
