Twin and King Mattresses

I wouldn't have thought that buying a mattress would be an enjoyable experience, but that is exactly what it was for us once we found Black Sheep. Christian’s warmth, intelligence and kindness align perfectly with his superior, thoughtful products.

My husband and I went to his workshop to buy a twin mattress for our daughter and ended up buying her mattress plus a king-sized one for us. We custom ordered a different firmness for each side of our bed but after sleeping on my side for a few nights, I discovered that the firmness I had chosen was too hard. True to character, Christian offered to remake the mattress with a less-firm latex on my side at no extra charge. Throughout it all, he remained pleasant, patient and understanding.

I only wish we needed more mattresses so that I could further support this clever, well-informed craftsman and his wonderful local business! I can't recommend Black Sheep highly enough.

Single mattress (suffolk)& base for Queen and single

Christian at Black Sheep was very honest and reliable, we felt like we were speaking and dealing with a craftsman as opposed to a salesman. His workshop is organized and our mattress and bases were delivered on time. He was kind enough to understand we were on a budget, we paid almost half the price than we would have at other mattress companies. We bought the mattress for our 2 year old son and set it up alongside our queen made by a different mattress company in calgary. We all take shifts on the single because it is more comfortable, it is also constructed in a way that easier to move around. The wool mattress cover is great for little diaper leaks in the night as opposed to the cotton cover on our queen size bed. Next time we buy another mattress we will purchase from Christian at Black sheep, because of his quality products, and straightforward customer service.

Twin Mattress

I had a great experience with Black Sheep Mattress Co. I met Christian at his fabrication facility and talked about my needs. I got to see and feel the different material options available to me. We discussed the pros and cons of different options, given my needs, which was to invest in a mattress for my toddler that could serve him until he was 18. Christian informed me that 10 - 15 years out of a mattress was definitely reasonable, but also that at anytime that I felt my son's needs changed or that the mattress needed some refurbishing, that I could bring it in. Knowing this was great. Christian also indicated that if once I received the mattress, if I felt it needed to be firmed or softened up, that again these changes could be made. The turnaround time from when I ordered to when I received the mattress was great, especially considering that the mattress was custom made! Christian delivered the completed mattress right to my door. I would definitely use Black Sheep Mattress Co. again and have already recommended them to my friends and family.
In terms of price, I found the prices reasonable, compared to other mattresses that were made with organic or natural materials...and with Christian I personally picked my materials, an option I doubt would be available with other providers.
Now that we have the mattress in use, even though it is for my son, my husband and I enjoy laying on it to read him stories.

Queen size mattress

I’ve found Black Sheep by a fluke while looking for a mattress. We had no idea how to choose a good mattress and Christian shared his knowledge with us. The showroom is right in the shop so we could see all the supplies Black Sheep is using to create their art. The mattress itself, as well as the first class service we got, are above anything we could expect. We asked for some specific materials to be used and had to wait ‘til they arrive. Glad we did that! We love our mattress and want to thank Christian and his team for our mattress buying experience! If you are looking for a mattress, please do yourself a favor and find some time to visit and talk to Christian. It might change the way you think about a mattress as it happened to us. Do not let prices to scare you away. It’s worth every single penny and Black Sheep can make it happen to you!
Thanks Christian and best wishes to you, your team and your family!

Queen Mattress

I didn't start out looking for an organic mattress. I thought a high quality mattress from any reputable retailer would meet my needs but after talking to Black Sheep Mattress Company and doing more research online, I realize that not all mattresses are made equal. Firstly, Christian was extremely knowledgable about sustainability and the benefits of organic vs. the other high end options out there. He was also very good to deal with and walked me through their handmade production process which helped me feel I could trust their product.

We got our queen mattress on time and when it was delivered, Christian arrived with it and helped us set it up. Gave us some tips on care and cleaning, it was a great, easy experience dealing with them. We've had our mattress for about a year now and we are very happy with it. It's very comfortable, and hasn't shown any signs of sagging. We also love the peace of mind that the mattress won't make us sick or have any adverse affects on our health.

We highly recommend the product and Black Sheep to anyone!

Queen and Single mattresses

Sometimes the greatest investment you make in your life isn’t what you put in your portfolio or bank, but what you put in your bed. Literally. In the case of the mattresses we purchased from Black Sheep Mattress, it’s filled with nothing but all-natural, organic goodness. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I’m not sleeping on, and breathing in for 8 hours a night, a mattress that contains formaldehyde, adhesives with VOCs, or carcinogenic, flame-retar(d)ant chemicals. But equally important is that this is the first mattress I’ve ever slept on where I did not wake up with a sore back. Even the highly-touted beds of the 5-star hotels I’ve stayed in during my extensive business travels have nothing on the goods from Black Sheep. These mattresses are very well-crafted with high-quality materials. To top it all off, Christian sure knows how to treat his customers with great care and attention. Highly recommended and well worth the investment.

Queen mattress

I was searching for a queen-sized mattress that had as many sustainable materials as possible and after a bit of a search, came across Black Sheep Mattress. Christian is very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time explaining his process as well as finding the exact firmness of the mattress I was looking for. He also delivered my mattress on time (it took less than 1.5 weeks from the time I ordered it). The mattress is very well crafted and I've been sleeping very soundly on it. I would definitely recommend Christian and Black Sheep Mattress for the quality of service you receive and the workmanship of their product.

Thank you Iris for your review and trust in our company. Being a handmade custom product, it is not often possible for us to deliver to our customers as fast as we would like! But, we do discuss timelines with our customer and try our best to work out a suitable delivery date that works for both. Iris, we are really happy to hear that you are enjoying your sleep and appreciate the compliments!
Very best regards and Merry Christmas, Christian

Black Sheep Devon Mattress

I am more than pleased with my beautifully hand crafted mattress from Black Sheep Mattress Co. The shop is a true delight to visit as is the proprietor Christian Schmidt. I felt confident right away with Christian's knowledge and recommendations for my specific sleep needs. I also appreciate the consideration of green and healthy materials and knowing where my mattress was made. Last but not least the customer service was outstanding and the mattress itself is a total dream. An amazing little company that makes a fantastic product!

Mattress

BlackSheep is something special! Christian is a brilliant and informed mind when it comes to creating a sustainability-conscious mattress; from sourcing as local and conscious materials as possible to approaching the mattress itself as something that can be serviced over time and extending the lifespan of the materials used. Good companies are suppliers of BlackSheep. Good people are buying BlackSheep mattresses, in fact, on multiple occasions I've had a chat with other proud BlackSheep Mattress owners without knowing that they had even heard of the company. Always a positive experience with positive words spoken. Thus, community is being built around this company. Who knew? It doesn't surprise me however as Christian is an exceptional person and craftsman. We are thrilled and thankful to have a BlackSheep Mattress in our house, I recommend the product and the company, and if you haven't visited the shop to see how the magic unfolds I encourage you to do so!

Wow! We are floored by your compliments Matt! You've really summed up so much of what our company stands for in your review. Sustainability, value for money and long lasting mattresses are what we are about. However, we also equally value building a local community and working with like minded suppliers to make this product. It is thrilling to read that we have managed to convey this to our customers and hope that we continue to build on this with your support! Thanks again and all the best, Christian

Mattress, Base and pillow

I had been sleeping on a bed that was causing me back pain and had no idea that each person needs a custom mattress based on his or her body.
Until I bought a bed from Christian at Black Sheep Mattress Co.

It only took 1 day to see the difference and to sleep so deeply and comfortably that the next morning my back had no stiffness.

Christian's obvious talents are in his craftsmanship and wholesome organic materials which make him so unique, yet what is overlooked and not seen or offered elsewhere is his knowledge of each person's body and how each bed fits each person differently.

And if I'm sleeping 8 hours each night on it, I want it built right!
