Sustainable beds for families
Oregon Natural Fiber Mill and Community Warehouse are excited to announce their new partnership, dedicated to providing high-quality, sustainably crafted beds to individuals and families transitioning out of housing instability.
As part of this collaboration, Oregon Natural Fiber Mill will produce beds at their SW Portland facility using US-sourced wool and organic cotton, reinforcing both organizations’ shared commitment to sustainability and care. Community Warehouse, a trusted resource, furnishing homes in the Portland area for over two decades, will distribute the beds through its furniture bank program, ensuring they reach those who need them most.
Community Warehouse is the Portland area’s local furniture bank, helping families and individuals turn empty spaces into cozy homes for over 23 years. By partnering with over 200 local agencies, Community Warehouse supports neighbors overcoming homelessness, domestic violence, forced displacement, and other adversity by providing essential furniture and household items, helping them build stronger, brighter futures.
This work is made possible by the generosity of everyday people through donations of gently-used mattresses, dressers, sofas, linens, dishware, microwaves, lamps, and more. Donating is simple—drop off your items at one of three convenient locations in NE Portland, Gresham, or Tigard. Home pickups can also be scheduled online for a subsidized fee of $50.
The Estate Store, located in the same building as Community Warehouse’s NE Portland furniture bank, offers a unique selection of vintage, antique, and contemporary furniture for the public to shop. Every purchase from the store directly supports Community Warehouse’s mission to furnish homes for neighbors seeking the comfort and dignity of a furnished home.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Oregon Natural Fiber Mill on this local, sustainable effort to provide mattresses to our neighbors. For many of the families we serve, a mattress is one of the most important items we provide—it means no longer sleeping on the floor after weeks or even months without a bed. Everyone deserves the comfort and dignity of a good night’s sleep, and this partnership helps us ensure more neighbors can rest well and wake up ready to thrive." -Anna Kurnizki, Executive Director at Community Warehouse.
Oregon Natural Fiber Mill (OnFM) is a zero-waste bedding and home goods manufacturer located in NW Portland. Originally founded over 40 years ago, the mill was revitalized and rebranded in 2024 by Britt Howard, owner of Portland Garment Factory. OnFM transforms raw, US sourced organic cotton and wool using turn-of-the-19th-century garnet machines, creating luxurious, eco-friendly stuffing for springless mattresses, cushions, comforters, and more. Each product is handcrafted at the facility and available for direct, wholesale, white label, and custom orders.
In addition to its traditional manufacturing services, OnFM introduced “Puffy Stuff,” a playful in-house designed line of colorful home goods now available at oregonfibermill.com. Following in the footsteps of Portland Garment Factory, OnFM remains committed to pushing the boundaries of responsible textile product production and zero waste manufacturing, offering a sustainable and healthy alternative to your soft environment.
