Susan,
This note is long overdue, but now we have more experience sleeping again!
The underquilt is worth every penny. I haven't ever slept so peacefully--I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but you know what? I should've expected it from sheep. They are wonderful creatures... they give give give.
I miss our sheep so. This way, I can be near the creatures I love everyday, even though my flock is miles away at their new home in Iowa.
Thank You Again,
Beth and Jim
Susan! Oh man, what an incredible night's sleep I had! Your underquilts are like being on a cloud of air, can't wait to share the news with my friends and my chiropractor, they'll be so impressed. Also the cover is unbelievably soft and I'm sort of picky of quality of sheets and covers generally as I use to work at a linen store and your products are just gorgeous! Thank you so much again for all of your help. You saved me so much expense and knew exactly what to recommend for me, thank you! Kiss the sheepies for me!,
Lee Ann

Susan, Susan, Susan, Christmas morning came this morning! There is no way in which I could be more pleased with the Ultimate Underquilt. Not one! I am so very, very pleased with the quality! I will be ordering more of the coverlets, I believe.
Also, the special order hand-made tropical comforter made to over-sized queen measurements is totally gorgeous! I can hardly wait to put on my duvets to see how beautiful it will look!
Your packaging with the grograin ribbons around the underquilt and comforter made everything seem even that more special and precious!
The best news is that I got right on the underquilt and for the first time, I will be able to sleep on my sides with no discomfort because of pressure points...a feeling of floating and yet being totally supported!
There are no words to express to you how grateful I am for your work and the wonderful people who help you with this loving endeavor.
Susan, I want to come to Wisconsin to personally kiss each of your six hundred sheep on their beautiful little heads! Well done, you!
M. Johnston

Susan,
I just wanted to write to let you know what a difference the underquilt has made. For too long I was waking up with numb arms, a stiff neck, and back pain. My massage therapist said I needed to stretch out more, but that did not have the same dramatic difference as putting the underquilt on my bed. It's only been about a week, but I just feel so much better! I am so glad I found your company. Thank you so much!

Hi Susan
We *LOVE* our ultimate sleep system!
I have bilateral Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) with bulging and herniated discs. I have not been sleeping on my left side for about 3 years because it is too painful. However, the first night we had our SOOTHE EWE I have been sleeping pain free, something I have not done in years.
I recommend your products without reservation to those with TOS, dics problems or anyone that has difficulty sleeping.
Please don't ever stop making your Sleep System.
R. Gunser
PS. I'd be happy to serve as a reference if any TOS patients want to discuss your Sleep System. Many of these folks are disabled due to pain, forsaken by the medical community and are desperate for any relief.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Susan! I received my Wonderful quilt last week, and love it. It is just the right weight for my house temperature.....just like my Mother used to make. You have a great product.

Dear Susan,
I received my Soothe Ewe Underquilt approximately 2 weeks ago and I just had to write to let you know that I absolutely love it!!. I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about it but then it arrived and I slept on it my first night. I couldn't believe it, I slept all night - haven't done that for years, even more delightfully surprising was when I woke up at the unusual hour of 10 am the following morning to find out for the first time in years, I didn't wake up with a headache and my neck wasn't stiff and my shoulders weren't sore and aching. Even my feet felt better. See I have arthritis and fibromyalgia. Before receiving my Soothe Ewe Sleep System I thought a full nights sleep and freedom from pain was over for me. I have not awoken with a headache or stiff neck or shoulder pain since getting my underquilt. And I've only had one night that I didn't sleep all night long and that was because of an unusual stress situation. I sleep much later that I use to, too!!!(chuckle) I have been spreading the news about the sleep system to everyone I know who will listen. I'm not in pain free but my underquilt has made my life much more comfortable! I can't wait until I can afford to get me a pillow and comforter. Thank you for you products, they really help and I sure do appreciate the good night's sleep and lack of morning pain I have now that I have my bedding. Wouldn't trade it for anything!!!!
Sincerely, Appreciatively, and God Bless!

Dear Susan,
We received a Soothe Ewe Underquilt for Christmas from our daughter.
I just had to write to tell you how wonderful this underquilt is. My husband has arthritis and has a difficult time sleeping all night because of pain.
We were astonished when the first night we slept on the underquilt he slept till four in the morning. Now every night is virtually pain free for him.
We are so pleased we're planning on ordering two pillows and a summer and winter comforter.
Thank you for giving back my husband his ZZZ's!
Sincerely, J. King Lansing, IL

I purchased the Surround Ewe™ Sleep System a little over a month ago. The bed sleeps great. Thanks so much! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 12 years ago. The bed warms up quickly and I don't get stiff. The sleep system keeps me just the right temperature. I seem to be waking less in the night and my shoulders don't hurt. My husband likes it too. It's kind of like a cozy little nest for us.
Thanks again, Cindy

Hi There,
My name is Bob and Karen. I just had our first nights sleep on your Hug Ewe™ Pillows. I slept so well that I hated to get up and leave the comfort! I have spine injuries and don't sleep well. I usually wake because of pain several times a night. I can't tell you enough how nice it was to not have pain be my first awareness in the morning, or through the night for that matter. I hope this continues for a long rime to come.
Thank you, Bob and Karen

Dear Susan,
I've been using the "Soothe Ewe™" underquilts and coverlet for over a month now. As you know, I began with the "heavy" underquilts and then needed to move to "Ultimate" which gave me so much more relief! At first, I was skeptical and hesitant to spend more money, but had I not done that with your support, I would not have experienced the deep sleep and relief that the thicker layer provided. For the past five years, I have awakened 4-5 times a night because of pain from Fibromyalgia and degenerating discs and joints. I now sleep through the night, every night. Once I crawl into my "cocoon" at night, I feel wrapped in relief. It's the only time I do not have pain. What amazed me is that, although it feels soft, somehow it is still holding and supporting my body and keeping the trigger points that people with Fibromyalgia are so familiar with away from the hard surface of a regular bed. I do still need medications and other therapies to maintain, and sometimes just get through some days, but knowing I have this relief, is a gift beyond expression.
Your approach to people in pain with such concern and caring, and a deep desire to help them get relief from pain is all part of the package. I thank you for being the person you are with your mission to help people. Kerry Hills Farm itself is such a soothing, beautiful place. It is a joy to visit. I still remember coming there on my first visit and falling asleep in less than 10 minutes when I laid down on the underquilt and coverlet! Yet another positive for me is that no animal is ever hurt or injured in your production from their wool.
Susan, thank you for creating such a wonderful product and making sheep my now favorite animal.
Love & Peace,
Pat Neuenfeldt

We'll, there's good news and bad news since I purchased my Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt. With arthritis, fibromyalgia, and polymyalgia, my sleep was less than comfortable. It was miserable, to be honest. Now, when I sink into my underquilt (of course, the addition of the Snuggle Ewe™ Comforter adds to the deliciousness of my nights) I am without pain almost immediately. I don't even need to use a hot pad anymore when I ache. This has made a tremendous difference in my life and I cannot imagine living with out these products.
Here's where the bad news comes in. I recently spent 10 days in California. I cannot believe how difficult my nights were without anything but an expensive hard mattress in my little hotel. There was no way that I could get comfortable, and it seemed as if I was tossing and turning all too much. When I got back home, it took a couple of nights: but I was able to regain the "wonderfulness" in my body, having retuned to my Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt duet. I will ever be grateful to Susan for her amazing products.

Hi Susan,
You may not remember me, but I came to you last fall and had an underquilt made. I was suffering from Fibromyalgia. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to the underquilt, but without it I can't stay in bed more than a few minutes. With the underquilt, I can at least sleep for 4-6 hours a night. I am currently trying to talk to my husband into letting me get the quilt. I also want to get a travel underquilt sometime this summer. Last Sunday I had to go to the hospital and have an appendectomy done. I spent 3 days in the hospital and I dearly missed my underquilt. After I continuously complained about missing my underquilt, my friends started asking about it. They now seem interested in checking them out. Do you still have your shop open during the week for visitors? If so, what are your visiting hours? If your shop is open to the public, then I might stop in soon.
Thanks for all you did for me!

Dear Susan,
I have been sleeping on the Soothe Ewe Underquilt for three months and I find that I sleep more soundly. I have not been awakened by pain from pressure points or joint pain.
My wife had a fractured hip with subsequent surgery a year ago and has had significant relief also.
I would recommend this product for patients with arthritis and related conditions.
Sincerely,
Robert C. Wheaton, MD
Hi Susan,
I want to give you my testimonial on the Soothe Ewe Underquilt which I purchased from you this summer. I had purchased the Ultimate style.
It's has been a while now since I've been using the Soothe Ewe Underquilt and I can absolutely say that I love it! I don't like leaving home because I can't handle my night joint/muscle pain without it.
I have Fibromyalgia and Connective Tissue Disease which cause extreme muscle/join pain. My nights were always the worse, pain keeping me awake and interfering with any healing process.
My nights are pretty much now pain free. I believe the Soothe Ewe Underquilt is giving me the opportunity to heal which drugs and medications could not.
Thank you for your wonderful product. It has definitely made a difference in my life. I highly recommend everyone to use this product, whether they have muscle/joint pain or not.
Sincerely,
Jean Karls

Dear Susan,
" I want to thank you and Kerry Hills Farms for producing the Soothe Ewe Underquilt (heavy weight) mattress pad. I have used it now for well over a month and find that it is the best product that I have tried to date to bring relief to my fibromyalgia. I have suffered pain and discomfort from fibromyalgia for many years and have tried numerous sleeping arrangements in an attempt to control the pain associated with this dreadful disease. Restful sleep is essential for me to function in my everyday activities. I purchased my Soothe Ewe Underquilt at the suggestion of my physician (a pain specialist) and am very glad that I followed up on his suggestion. No two individuals afflicted with fibromyalgia have the same symptoms. I know that the manifestations of my disease requires a quality night's sleep and the Soothe Ewe Underquilt mattress pad on top of a quality mattress and matched box spring has provided me with the best sleeping surface I have yet to experience.

The product I bought from Susan has given me great relief from my pains I have experienced for years. I highly recommend her products for relief.

Wow, I had a wonderful nights rest. It really makes a difference!. I have TMJ and grit my teeth all night long, this didn't happen last night. So had another cure to the list for suffers. I am going to talk to my older son about this, who has the same problem with his grinding of teeth. I think he will want a pillow too.
Thanks so much,
Andrea Watertown, WI
After having slept on the bedding for a little over a week, our daughter is very happy to report that she is feeling the difference. She can turn over without waking because of pain and she isn't stiff in the morning. She is VERY pleased! Needless to say - we are also happy to hear that she is getting some relief - having a good night's sleep helps to make for a better day and the ability to cope with fibromyalgia. We are so thankful for having seen your article and to you for taking your time and making the effort to help alleviate pain caused by health problems not only for our daughter's problem but also other people's.
Sincerely,
Helen Bohlman
Dear Susan,
I want to take a moment to write and let you know how pleased I am with your product. I have slept on the underquilt for over one month and am pleased beyond all expectations. My sleep is uninterrupted and I awake refreshed each day... much more than when I slept on a traditional mattress in the past. Aches and pains and stiffness have been relieved and I feel like a new woman ready to meet the challenges of another day.
I hope to be in touch soon to discuss additional products that you offer. Thank you once again...

Dear Susan,
I wanted to thank you for your wonderful products and also to share with you a story you might find amusing.
As you know, I have had moderate to severe lower back and hip arthritis pain for years. I would have a lot of trouble sleeping at night and have soreness in the morning upon arising and have it all day.
I purchased an Underquilt and a pillow and I can't believe the difference when I get up in the mornings. I don't have the soreness that I had every day. I still can get back pain if I over-do but I know I'm going to find comfort when I go to bed. I can't believe the difference. It's wonderful!!!!!!
I have two 12 year old Shih-Tzu's. One of my dogs, Yippie, was starting to limp and I thought he must be getting a little arthritis in his hips, too. They sleep on my bed at night and they really started to enjoy the Underquilt. So much so that they were stealing my pillow to sleep on during the night. So I called you to make two wool "doggie" pillows for them. I put those on the chairs they like to sleep on during the day. Well, they liked them so much that I couldn't get them to come upstairs when it was time for bed! They wanted to stay on their "doggie" pillows. The good news is that Yippie has not limped since he has gotten his pillow!
I just purchased another Underquilt and pillow for my daughter who has trouble with knee and back pain. She loves it!
We are thinking of Underquilts as Christmas gifts!!!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!

Dear Susan,
I have waited to send you a "testimony" about my Soothe Pad as I wanted to sleep on it for a while. And I have.
I love it. I have a hard time finding words to express how it feels. It reminds me of what it may be like to lay down on a soft white cloud to sleep. Firm, yet soft. I live in Sacramento California and to be quite honest I was very skeptical on the claim that it would keep me cool in the summer. How can "wool" keep you "cool"? Well I can't answer that question, but it does. In the past few days we have seen our temperature reach over 100 degrees. Being married to a man who "hates the air conditioning" and prefers to sleep with the window open and the ceiling fan on, believe me when I say, I was very skeptical of anything keeping me "cool". Well, the Soothe does. You have an incredible product!
In fact, I can think of only one thing I like as well as my Soothe pad, and that is the pillow you sent me.
Thank you for over a month of wonderful, sound sleep. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
L. Jeffrey, Antelope California
"I wanted to write to let you know how much I'm enjoying my wool comforter & pillows. The items are the most comfortable I have ever had. I get [a] good night's sleep without neck pain .. the pillows and the comforter is like a body pillow. (even my cat prefers the bed than any other place in the apt. to sleep.). Thank you for the quick processing and high quality of your material. I look forward to future orders for gifts and for myself."
D. Kalke, Watertown, WI
"You will never know how my ole heart is rejoicing today! My Mom received her underquilt yesterday! She immediately called and was soooooooo impressed with the making of it. She even told me she could hardly wait until bed time to try it out. <smile> I woke up about 1 A.M this morning literally asking the Lord to let her have some good rest. And she called me bright and early this A.M. soooooo excited! Bless her heart she has had problems for years where her neck has hurt her so in her muscles and such. And had a hard time resting---not knowing she was having the same problems she now has with her shoulders and legs. She told me she did not even need much of her pillow last night! HER first night on her underquilt! And her neck muscles this A.M. were so relaxed and not hurting! I was so thankful I cried! I love my Mom dearly---and that meant so very much to me..." And thank you for calling me personally the other evening. That too meant much. And I KNOW your business will flourish mightily! I enjoyed our phone visit, and it meant much to know you cared enough to get the product sent right out to my Mom.
All I can say is a bigggggg Thank - EWE!! And Bless EWES All There at the Kerry Hills Farm---and when I'm in the area of Oconomowoc again----I really want to look you up. It was super good to purchase from our own state..."
J. Snow, Pepin, WI
Susan,
My mom received her pillow last Friday. She called me Saturday afternoon and said it was like sleeping on a cloud. Wowsie - wishin I had one of those underquilts now! Will have to wait. She did not call me till Saturday afternoon -- cause she wanted to report on how it slept. ... Thanks also for your kindness with my Mom. She' truly a jewel -- and deserves a wonderful nights sleep. Thanx.

How we helped Betsy
Betsy Erickson, 51, of Wales, Wis., has found relief from her hip and back pain not from a new drug or a new technology, but from something natural that's been around for centuries. Wool.
After purchasing a Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt and a Hug Ewe™ Pillow six months ago, she's noticed a remarkable improvement in her pain. "Every morning I used to get up and walk real gingerly over to the dresser to work the kinks out," she says. "I can't believe the difference when I get up in the morning now after sleeping on the wool underquilt. I don't have the soreness I used to have every day."
Diagnosed with moderate to severe hip and lower back arthritis, Betsy has lived with pain since her late 20s. Over the years, she's tried everything her doctor has recommended – medical tests, drugs, physical therapy, cortisone injections. By her estimation, she's spent tens of thousands of dollars seeking relief from her pain. And not only that, but as she says, "Some of the things they were trying made it worse." An allergic reaction to cortisone landed her in the hospital for a ten-day stay.
Betsy doesn't like to use drugs, thinking of them as just a temporary fix. So she was delighted when she found something natural that could bring relief for her pain – sleeping on a wool underquilt. "It's really nice to know that I don't have to take heavy medication to get me through," she says. "I know I can go to bed and get a good night's sleep, and it'll help my aches and pains, so when I get up in the morning, I know I'm going to feel better."
She can still get back pain if she overdoes it during the day. "But I know I'm going to find comfort when I go to bed," she says. "I can't believe the difference!"
At first her husband was a non-believer and wanted to keep the feather bed he was used to sleeping on. So for a while, he slept on a twin-size feather bed on top of the wool underquilt. Eventually he became a convert, and he got rid of the feather bed, preferring to sleep directly on the wool underquilt like Betsy.
And other family members have benefited as well. Betsy also purchased a Soothe Ewe™ Underquilt and Hug Ewe™ Pillow for her daughter, who's a runner. She's found relief from her knee and back pain.
