After I started to suffer from sciatica and backaches, every morning when getting out of my bed, I decided to chuck my mattress and bed, and replaced it with a Japanese tatami. Intuition told me that sleeping on a hard surface will do the trick. I then was looking for thick felt, to make a super thin “mattress”. I bought 4m of this wonderful felt and turned it into a 2cm thick felt mattress by doubling it and sewing a cotton cover. The combination of the tatami and the natural sheep felt is magical. Sleeping on natural, breathable materials is life changing. After a couple of weeks getting used to it, all the back pains were gone. Every sleep is like a giant stretch out.
It has been a year now, all I can say is, felt is a wonderful material to sleep on….not just for cats and dogs

Superb quality for a very good price!

I love this company and what they produce and how they work. It's ethical, contributes to their local community and plants trees in their thousands. I love its values and I've not found anything that works better as a base for large scale needle felting than their felt. It's so reasonably priced and the hessian layer gives it strength to hold together. I just bought 4 metres as the base for a panel Im making. The underlay is strong and has real body, and is moth-proof, but is too hard to use for needle-felting and can break needles. If I was to suggest a new product it wold be moth-proof crafting felt.

Though this would be perfect for sewing but found it too thick for what i wanted to do but a brilliant matting for blocking my crouchet pieces. Has im making persion tiles perfect for chair upholstery also would work for lining out vans and super at a fraction of cost of sythetic fleece

Great product - I’m using it to insulate a loft hatch and my wife has snapped up the leftovers for mysterious purposes in the greenhouse. I should also mention the outstanding customer service - really above and beyond - and the speedy delivery.
Many thanks.
