Snugfleece question
|
Anyone have any recommendations between the different snugfleece and snugsoft models? I want to buy one tonight with the 30%off code from dreamsoftbedware.com (LaborDay09). We'll be putting it on top of 8" of latex. I think I want one of the ones that is washable because we have a 5 month old and dry cleaning is likely not to happen! This may sound stupid, but is 65oz wool more absorbent than 40oz? And as for the thickness of the mattress pad, will it impact the feel of latex if we have 1" of wool? 1 1/4" of wool? 1 1/2" of wool? Thanks for any insight you can offer! The prices are significantly different, so if I go with the elite I want to know WHY I'm choosing it, ya know? http://www.dreamsoftbedware.com/bqueenwoolma.html |

I can't help much on this. But I will tell you that my "two inch" wool mattress pad seems to only really provide about ½" or ¾" of padding once it's layed on. And as for affecting the feel of the latex underneath it, I did not notice that happening. In fact I really loved sleeping on my 2" flobeds wool mattress pad. Problem is, I switched to a different size bed so now it does not fit. I want to cut it so I can use it again! The wool really does seem to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter. I love it! Personally I think I'd go with the thickest one, but I can't really say for sure why. I just like my thick one, that's all. |

Does anyone know if a wool *blanket* will be effective at reducing heat buildup from a mattress? Wondering how much thickness is a factor. I have a rather thick (well, not as thick as the toppers!) blanket i thought i'd try. I just can't take another night of sweating! Thanks for any comments...;) |
Re: Snugfleece question
| Sorry--one more thing: Snugfleece seems to be the least expensive wool topper i've found. Has anyone found a cheaper one? Thank you! |

Electracat - I looked into getting this wool mattress pad from foam source: http://www.foamsource.com/shop/product/73 It's the o-wool organic water resistant mattress pad and the queen (w/ straps) is $219. It seemed like it would have the benefits of wool without the loft of the snugfleece. I know I read somewhere that a wool blanket would work but that it's hard to keep it in place. I have no personal experience with it, though! Good luck! |

hi wifecat (fellow 'cat'), thanks for the info. I'd probably sooner go with the snugfleece due to its lower price...I'm trying a blanket tonight, will let you know how it goes. And can't wait to hear about your new set up! thanks-- --'cat |
