wool
| wool is supposed to have healing properties, now i have a wool pillow and a wool duvet that i use all the time, but the last two nights i have had my new bed, the first night i slept on the wool topper which i don't use often, and i woke up feeling not bad, even tho i had hurt my back the day before... last night i slept without the wool topper and i woke up very sore, i think that an all organic wool topper can really help with these kinds of things, and a wool duvet gives heavenly heat, even nicer than down... sheep are very lucky :) |
Re: wool
| wool is also supposed to be a very good temperature regulator because of its hygroscopic abilities (easily absorbs and releases moisture), so an air/water tight cover really robs you of this benefit. I actually rarely recommend water proof protectors for mattresses or pillows unless it is of course absolutely necessary, in general these types of things really seem to hurt the overall comfort of any mattress or pillow and thermal imbalance in particular is actually the number one reason people toss and turn after they have fallen asleep. this is also why if you have a layer of pure wool just underneath you it actually reduces tossing and turning because of thermal imbalance, this is actually one of the very few scientifically proven ways you can actually improve the qualty of your sleep. if you wanna PM you just have to click on my name and in the new page just to the right of my name there is another link you can click to send a PM. |
Re: wool
| very interesting budgy!! my wool products are natura... i was going to buy from this other canadian company that hand makes everything they ship, but ended up not doing it, since i was impatient and found the natura products at a local sleep store, i love wool, but wish my topper was softer! i may get a different kind |
Re: wool
| natura makes some really wonderful products. what kind of wool topper are you using Elaine? |
Re: wool
| i don't know what kind it is, it's encased in a heavy cotton, and quite flat and hard.... i think i would like one of those ones where the wool is exposed and standing up as if it's still on the sheep lol |
Re: wool
| its too bad they dont make an organic version of that one. they do make in your variety of topper what is called the Comfort and Comfort Plus, the following of which makes a pretty nice softer feeling surface. |
Re: wool

I have an 2" wool topper from sleepandbeyond.com that is too firm for me, when they shipped it, they made a mistake and shipped a comforter, so i kept that and that and it turned out to be nice. the wool topper is very uncomfortable to sleep on, it was organic and expensive, just too firm. They don't reply to my emails now. This message was modified Jan 4, 2010 by mingus

Re: wool
| man....you seem to be having some pretty bad luck with service all across the board. in this case though did you just pay for the wool topper and end up getting to keep the duvet they sent? im just a little confused....I am reading your post as you have both a wool topper and duvet from these guys but only paid for a topper. its too bad they are not responding to e-mails, but I am curious what you would want them to do to help you out? |
Re: wool
| last night i slept with a wool scarf folded up to go across the bed at waist height, so it filled my waist dent and i woke up with no back pain!!!! |
Re: wool
| Elaine70, I am glad you are finding things to help you with your back pain. Thanks for sharing. |
Re: wool
| Costco has wool toppers as does Overstock. I saw them in our local Get-A-Bed for over $400! They looked nice. |
