Oregon Natural Fiber Mill (OnFM) revitalizes a 40-year-old Portland, Oregon, legacy, transforming sustainably sourced, US-grown wool and cotton into exceptional fiber products. Guided by owner Britt Howard’s vision, OnFM marries time-honored techniques with forward-thinking sustainability. With vintage garneting machines from the turn of the 19th century, the mill processes natural fibers into a signature “puff” that forms the heart of its springless mattresses, bedding, and luxury home essentials. Each item is handcrafted in their Portland facility, balancing tradition with contemporary comfort and a steadfast dedication to the environment.
They’re moving fast—stay in the loop!
Far from a typical mattress factory, OnFM creates springless mattresses—offered in 4- to 8-inch thicknesses—alongside home goods made solely from organic cotton and wool batting. This approach appeals to those seeking natural alternatives to metal coils who are concerned with electromagnetic field amplification (EMF), while the inherent durability of these fibers ensures lasting quality with simple rotation. Operating as a zero-waste facility, OnFM caters to a diverse clientele through three core services:
;
Retail & Custom Orders: Handcrafted, bespoke bedding and home goods tailored to individual tastes.
Wholesale OnFM Products: Ready-made, eco-friendly fiber goods for bulk buyers.
Private Label Manufacturing: Flexible, high-quality textile solutions for brands, with no minimum order quantities and lead times of 1-3 weeks for stock items or 4-8 weeks for custom projects.
OnFM’s offerings extend beyond mattresses to include pillows, comforters, and innovative home goods, all designed with an eye toward form, function, and ecological responsibility. By sourcing materials domestically and maintaining agile production, they support a growing demand for sustainable, locally made textiles.
A Nod to the Portland Garment Factory
Britt Howard launched Portland Garment Factory (PGF) in 2008, establishing a certified B Corp known for creative design and fabrication across sectors like fashion, hospitality, and tech. Over 16 years, PGF has produced everything from wearables to custom installations. In early 2024,
Howard acquired and reimagined the mill as OnFM, blending PGF’s inventive spirit with a specialized focus on natural fiber manufacturing. Paired with her regenerative design firm, Studio Howard, she extends this ethos globally while remaining rooted in Portland.
