The Comfy Bear Story
One of the things that means most to us as people and as parents is sustainability and longevity. Taking care of things, making things last. An idea that has been somewhat lost in recent years. We appreciate the finer things in life, but we also love getting some dirt and sweat on us. We live for adventure. Discovering new things, people, places, ways of doing things, ways of thinking. The world is so much larger than us. Our family’s love for people, our desire to contribute back to the world and to leave things better than we found them have led us to create and share our handmade creations.
HOW WE STARTED: OUR STORY
Comfy Bear Home started after Harvey, at almost 4 years of age, had his tonsils and adenoids removed and his sinus tissue shaved down inside his nose. Three weeks post surgery he was washing his hands, was suddenly startled and said “wow! This soap smells GOOD!” It was the first time he realized soap actually had a smell. He became obsessed with scents and all things bathroom related… soaps, bath bombs, bath salts, etc. That same fall we clipped down our lavender to dry it and make Christmas gifts with. We decided on goat’s milk soaps since we all have sensative skin. We loved it so much and so did all of our family and friends. So much so they asked us for more! Harvey loves developing new scents all of the time. He can take fragrances I think are disgusting, mix them together with other fragrances and create something that everyone falls madly in love with smelling. He has an incredible gift! And he loves telling people he makes everything and earning money from what he calls his ‘science.’

We believe it is the small things, the details, that make the difference. They help us to slow down, be present, and stay connected to each other.

Where did our name Comfy Bear come from? Harvey’s nickname is Bear and we spend most of our time in our pajamas, which we call our ‘comfies.’
