Getting a good night’s sleep is important, and having the right mattress (or mattress topper) can be key.
Black Sheep Mattress Company handcrafts all its mattresses and bedding in Calgary, building products that last, feel good to use and are made from sustainable materials. Its lineup includes mattresses, pillows and mattress toppers.
“The key element for us is making our mattresses and bedding products from natural materials. So that would mean organic when possible, or third-party verified that they are coming from a clean and natural environment,” says Christian Schmidt.

The company’s newest creation is The Wooly mattress topper. Inspired by customers and friends who loved the company’s regular wool topper but wanted even more plushness, the team started experimenting until they found the sweet spot.
The Wooly has eight layers of breathable wool wrapped in organic cotton. It’s soft yet supportive, naturally temperature regulating and made to work with most standard mattress sizes.
“It’s for someone who wants to spoil themselves a little bit,” Schmidt says.
