The advantages of organic wool
No one has ever been able to duplicate the qualities of wool because of its natural comfort, resilience and versatility. Wool is hypoallergenic and is resistant to bacteria, mold and mildew. It is a natural product and is not made from crude oil like other synthetics and because it is organic, you don’t breathe in the out-gassing caused by chemicals as they break down.
Because the wool fibers form pockets of air, your body is naturally insulated and your body temperature is kept warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. Your body will stay dry because wool wicks moisture away from your body. Wool also is naturally flame retardant as it extinguishes itself when touched with flame. There are no chemical fumes to breathe in because of fire retardant chemicals being added. Wool keeps dust mites away because it does not retain moisture to create an environment in which dust mites can survive. Most importantly, wool promotes better sleep because of the cushiony softness that relieves pressure points and muscle aches.
For these reasons wool is very important when used in making baby mattresses.
