Our thanks to a great group of United Way volunteers who joined us to build 80 pillows for donation to our local Eastside homeless shelters! We know the importance of great sleep for everyone in our community and nothing says "sleep well" like a pillow built with lots of love and care.
It was great to partner with the United Way and the folks from Congregations for the Homeless to distribute these pillows for the holidays. We feel very fortunate to be able to give back to our community and want to thank you - and every one of our customers - for making it possible for us to share the gift of great sleep. Happy Holidays all!
With the holidays quickly approaching you’ve probably started thinking about family visitors and, more importantly, sleeping arrangements. Typically you sleep on the unforgiving couch in the basement while your beloved guests enjoy the luxury of your handpicked mattress. We know the holidays are a time for giving, but enough is enough, this year can be different.
This holiday season we’re offering a variety of ways to save on guest bedding for everyone’s needs. When you purchase a child’s bedroll, you receive a free pillow. Buy a futon mattress, receive a decorative cover, or purchase from the Tamarack guest bed collection and receive two free pillows.
Our Bedrolls are moisture-resistant and built for longevity. They’re versatile and easy to transport, whether used for travel, camping or moving from one room to the next. Our futons are moisture, mildew and dust mite resistant and also have thermal regulating properties. Both of these products are handcrafted from organic materials including cotton, Dunlop latex, and wool.
The Tamarack collection marries the organic latex mattress with our organic wool mattress topper to provide just the right amount of support and comfort for the best sleep possible.
As you’re preparing your holiday plans and dreading the lack of sleep you’re about to experience, keep us in mind. We’re happy to help with sleep options for you and your guests!
Our thanks to the team from the United Way of King County who helped us distribute 80 of our hand-crafted, all organic bed pillows to clients of Compass Housing in downtown Seattle. Not only did we have alot of fun with the pillows we also had time to wash a few walls and hopefully help some of Seattle's homeless population sleep abit better!
We also want to thank the Boys & Girls Club of Bellevue - as students from their Teen Center helped us very efficiently build these 80 pillows. As you might imagine, the combination of their youthful enthusiasm, the United Way's organizational skills, and the community services provided by the staff at Compass makes for a rewarding, and high impact community gift. For more information on United Way partner, Compass Housing, see (http://www.compasshousingalliance.org/who-we-are-top/who-we-are/). Meanwhile - we want to thank all of our customers for supporting our work - and giving us the opportunity to share the gift of healthy, restorative sleep with as many as we can. Thank you!
Last weekend our volunteer team from the Bellevue's Boys & Girls Club set a new record building our shredded latex bed pillows. As you can see from the pictures this was one busy team. The pillows they built will be available at the Soaring Heart location in Bellevue during the Taste of Main at a special Boys and Girls Club Price of just $65.

Flame retardants continue to be a major contamination problem in our homes. While big steps have been taken to remove these chemicals from many products – studies continue to prove they are appearing everywhere especially our laundry, household dust and community waste water systems. Bottom line: consumer beware – it’s a lot harder to live in a safe, healthy environment than we may think.
Soaring Heart has been committed to providing all natural and organic bedding for decades – we use no chemical flame retardants and meet all health and regulatory requirements by using one all natural product - wool! While we might wish for all manufacturers to guarantee open, transparent labeling for all their ingredients, until that happens we do our best to support community watchdogs like the Washington Toxics Coalition. You can find out more about their work, as well as new findings about the pervasiveness of flame retardants at the link above.
Rest assured we are doing our best to partner with organizations as dedicated as we are to safe, healthy sleep! We welcome your feedback.
