I noticed that customs sleep design mattresses come without a wool cover. They have in fact a terry cotton cover only.

This is unusual. My question is would absence of a wool cover alter the feeling and durability of a latex mattress?

I thought wool cover was absolutely necessay in a all latex mattress.

Comments please. Thank you very much.

I thought latex mattresses came with wool because tightly woven wool is fire retardent.  From what I've read here, I would recommend a moisture barrier.  You can find wool moisture barrier online.  They are thin, tightly woven and probably won't alter the feel of the mattress much.  Don't mistake a "wool topper" for a "wool mattress pad".

Hey Ray Charles...... not sure where you came up with the facts for your opening line, but on the thread that I've referred you to on half a dozen occasions, it states CSD's cover construction:

"The cover is organic cotton with wool backing and zipper."
