Improve Sleep And So Much More With A Wool Mattress Topper


by Laura Wheelock

With environmental concerns on the rise, more consumers are turning toward replacing synthetic products with those with more natural materials. With that in mind, it is no wonder that attention is turning back to using wool, especially in the bedroom. In fact, not only is it more natural, but a wool mattress topper is better for sleeping and air quality than a traditional topper and even helps to save money. While scratchy sweaters many come to mind, the lesser known amazing qualities of wool are only recently being discussed. Wool is naturally anti-microbial, flame resistant, hypoallergenic, and repellent to dust-mites. It is no wonder that it is being rediscovered as an eco-friendly option that actually aids in sleep.

Climate Control

Nature designed wool to protect sheep through different climates and temperatures and does the same when sheared and used as bedding. It draws heat away from the body in warmer weather acting as a cooling system. Because of nature's brilliance, wool works the exact opposite in a cooler environment. Heat is kept bundled around the body by wool to warm the sleeper just as a lamb would be kept warm on a cool night. Due to the natural temperature adjustment, wool is a great option for couples who may share differing opinions regarding the thermostat. Also, for those who like to save money on air conditioning in the summer or on heat in the winter, a wool mattress topper is an excellent choice to economize and sleep comfortably.

Water Resistant

Wool protects sheep from rain and the elements by quickly wicking away moisture. It is highly absorbent and transfers any dampness away from the body until it dries naturally. With the natural cooling effect and moisture protection, gone are the nights of awakening sweaty and overheated. Also because of wool's absorbency and anti-microbial properties, the mattress is protected from absorbing moisture that would serve as a breeding ground to bacteria.

Baby Bedding

Since it is a cleaner and healthier alternative, many parents are now using wool pads in lieu of waterproofed pads as bedding for young children. It can even be used in cribs when wrapped tightly around a mattress and easily absorbs urine while resisting bacterial growth.

Cleaner Air

Traditional mattress toppers are often made of foam or other synthetic materials which are chemically treated for performance and flame resistance. Over time, these chemicals release into the air and decrease the indoor air quality in a room that, if a person slept six hours a day, is occupied over 2000 hours a year. Wool provides a cleaner night sleep when it is largely untreated. Also, because of its resistance to allergens, wool helps sleepers to breathe easy.

Happier Earth

Wool is a renewable and sustainable resource making it an excellent choice to help the earth while getting a better night's rest.

Wool imparts the ultimate in protection and comfort for sheep and because of its remarkable natural properties. When used as a mattress topper it is an excellent and superior alternative to offer a cleaner, safer and more restful night's sleep.
