The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

Maggie Wong, founder of ComfyComfy, hard at work making pillows in her Bethesda, MD workshop. Maggie's family has been using her handmade pillows for many years. Over time, she gave hand-sewn pillows as gifts to friends and yoga students. They were so well received she was encouraged to sell them. Maggie founded ComfyComfy in 2011 as the sole seamstress.

Pillows are filled with buckwheat by Gail and Jeff. Custom pillowcases are sewn by Mathilde, who learned to sew as a girl in her native Germany. Maggie still sews all of the flaxseed pillows herself. Her husband, Art, fills them. ComfyComfy's online presence is managed by Claire and Eric in New Hampshire. Maggie spares no effort to produce top-quality pillows. She uses the very best fabrics and natural fillings. Comfycomfy takes pride in providing the highest quality products and excellent customer service. |
