I have been looking at click here Natura wool toppers. There also is a cotton backed on that is not washable. Anyone here have one of these? Budgie, what is your opinion. I know you sell these. I am super sensitive, so if the backing is stiff, wrinkled or bulky I will hate it. That is why I don't want stuff wool toppers, they stitch on the top of them, painful! The one I am looking at is the wool on top mattress pad that has polyester backing and is washable. The reversible is not washable. Not sure this would even fit in the washer. Budgie, opinion please? Thanks. P.S. My hope is this will make the latex firmer, and I think it will by my blanket I put on the top, and when I use tighter jersey sheets. This message was modified Mar 13, 2010 by Leo3

budgy wrote: My brother actually used the washable one for a while. He quite liked it, although you shouldn't be too surprised that it will lose a fair bit of wool piling during the first couple of wash cycles. I would personally try to avoid laundering it on a regular basis so that it will last longer, would be a good idea to just take it outside on occasion and let it air out. I don't think the backing will be too firm but it will be stiffer than say an actual sheep skin. "Natura Wool on Top™ Mattress Pad This cozy mattress pad features 1 1/4" exposed Natura Smart Wool™ pile on the outside like a Sherpa coat lining. Please note this does have a polyester backing. Convenient elastic straps." from website noted above.
Budgy: What is Natura Smart Wool and if it has a polyester backing would there be stiching/quilting? Do you have them in your store, do you know if there is stitching. I am soooo picky. |
Well I hope to gosh there is no stitching because I bit the bullet and ordered one online. It looks simple and I am hoping Natura brand is as good as the latex topper I got at Brylane Homes a while back. At least I can return it if I don't like it. I did wise up on that part anyway.  |
| i think it will be fine. theres no stitching except the very outer edge . |

Well I got my Natura wool on topper today, and it was shipped well. Have you ever been so tired from lack of sleep and back pain that you just can't face changing your bed and adding something to it???? Because you are afraid it won't help and it will make it worse? That is me tonight. I was expecting it to be bigger, I haven't even unzipped the package to even look at. It does look nice and clean. Being a germaphobe and hearing I shouldn't wash it by our resident mattress guru, I have to put the sheet over it and hope I can get over my germaphobia. Maybe tomorrow I can face it.

I slept on the Natura wool on top mattress pad last night, and the new jersey sheets. It was sooooo soft, and it really did change my body temperature. I slept on my back for 5 hours and didn't wake up due to being warm (just woke up), it was very cozy. I turned on my "good hip" side and 2 1/2 hours later I woke up in bad hip pain. So it did do not perform a miracle there.  Guess I am a believer on wool now. I thought the polyester didn't make me sweat like the memory foam mattress did, but it did keep me warmer. But I can say I am very happy with the quality of the Natura wool on top mattress pad, it was very clean, and packaged nicely. I would buy from Sears again, they are top notched at shipping, they actually put them in boxes in their original packaging. I think the Natura topper came directly from Natura because the box had their name imprinted in it. They did an excellent job of packaging too. You just don't realize how nice and important that is Thanks to Budgy Some day I will fix my side sleeping pain. This message was modified Mar 27, 2010 by Leo3

for helping me decide that this topper was good, and that it had no stitching lines. I really like it and hope it lasts me for a while. I won't be able to wash it in my washer. Unless I get a front loading one, not likely. I guess I could use a wash cloth and clean like I did my latex pillow. I am very happy.|
Glad to hear your first impressions are positive :) I am not surprised in the least that you have already noticed some benefits in the temperature regulation. |

Budgie: There is no way I could hand wash a queen size topper in the kitchen sink. I guess you could take it to the shower and rinse it, LOL. Do you think using a soft cotton cloth would hurt the wool if I rub gently? How long do you think realistically this will last? I imagine sleeping on it after so long will compress it. I read somewhere you can comb the wool, to fluff it up again? |

Its all relative really....when that wool is wet you want to be as gentle as possible. Some specialty cleansers like Leblanc Laundry Wash would probably get the product very clean with minimal agitation and without damaging the fibres themselves. Combing it out will probably help it reloft, although I haven't tried before, id be worried about removing a lot of the loose piling by combing it too much. |
