Well, not that far east, about 10 miles. However; as residents of King County know, that short trip across beautiful lake Washington can certainly feel transcontinental.
In celebration of MLK Day, Soaring Heart joined with a team of volunteers from our local El Centro de la Raza to build 125 bed pillows in support of El Centro’s community services. Needless to say we had a blast.
Think your dorm will need a bit of a makeover, the extremely peppy Mr. Kate (not a typo) has some great tips for simple, inexpensive dorm DIY projects to quickly spruce things up. Warning: there is theme song/musical number thing in the beginning. As I said, she is peppy.
A few weeks ago for Memorial Day, we decided to try something different than the standard sale. For every person who came into our Seattle showroom, we donated one of our all-organic Shredded Latex Pillows to the Fisher House - an organization that provides accommodations for families of veterans being treated for injuries. As a company that makes organic mattresses and bedding, this seemed like the natural way for us to show our support.
Welcome Soaring Heart Scholarship winner, April Nishimura!
Every year Soaring Heart does its best to support a variety of students working to help our community sleep better.
This weekend, for every group that visits our showroom in Fremont and tests a bed, we will donate a brand new handcrafted pillow to the Fisher House - an organization that provides accommodations for families of veterans being treated for injuries.
Last week we had the privilege of volunteering at KCTS9's annual pledge drive. Coffees in hand, we turned a deaf ear to the siren song of our mattresses and stayed up past our bedtime to take calls in support or our local public television channel.
Soaring Heart is pleased to host classes in our shop every Wednesday night in March! Guild Certified Feldenkrais teacher, Becci Parsons' classes are designed to restore our natural capacity to rest, recover and heal from the stress of daily life.
Superior quality, craftsmanship, and integrity are the values Soaring Heart Natural Bed Company holds in highest regard. Whether it's crafting engaging programming or exceptional mattresses, excellence comes from the material used and the skills employed. It is for this reason that Soaring Heart supports KCTS9 Public Television.

Toxic Hot Seat is a documentary by HBO about the toxic chemicals used in mattresses and furniture as fire retardants and the outdated laws, based on fraudulent claims, that keep them in use. The documentary comes on the heels of the Pulitzer Prize-winning multi-part article, "Playing With Fire," published in the Chicago Tribune in 2012 that brought to light the hazardous nature of these chemicals we are surrounding ourselves with.
All 84,000 of them.
