Wool Mattress Pad

If you are tired of restless nights and waking up to back and joint pains it may be time to try a wool mattress pad.  They are often cheaper than replacing an entire mattress and sometimes offer more options than a new mattress can.  These pads come in many sizes and material types today, however wool mattress pads are sometimes overlooked when searching for a mattress pad.

The material contained in a wool mattress pad and wool mattress topper has an organic feel to it and naturally conforms to the shape of your body.  This cushion helps to ease pressure points and prevent joint pains.  Not only does it conform to your shape but it also accommodates the fluctuating temperatures of the seasons.  Meaning in the summer a wool mattress pad stays cool to help stifle that heat and in the winter it will help you stay warm in the coldest of nights.

A wool mattress pad or wool mattress topper assists in providing a consistent temperature to help maintain a deeper and more restful sleep.
Wool contains hollow fibers which help wick away sweat and moisture to maintain a more comfortable sleep without feeling clammy or sweaty.
In turn this wicking away of moisture helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew and can increase the lifespan of your mattress.

For the nature lover out there, keep in mind that a wool mattress pad is organic. The materials are typically 100% organic and safely obtained. The wool mattress pad as well as the wool mattress topper are also odor free and are more resistant to the buildup of odors due to the moisture drying qualities of the fibers.  This in turn helps to prevent a heavy buildup of dust mites in your mattress by separating the mattress from your body and wicking away the moisture before reaching the cloth fibers below.

There are also many other benefits to wool and wool mattress pads over cotton.  One being it ignites at a higher temperature which makes it more flame resistant, it also has a lower rate of flame spread and it does not melt or drip in any way.  And if it should catch fire it forms a char which is self-extinguishing and also emits less toxic fumes than cottons or man made materials.

Wool mattress pads would also be resistant to static electricity.  Which can be beneficial in several ways as well. Wool mattress pads are also hypoallergenic.  The lack of moisture from its previously mentioned qualities creates a less hospitable environment for allergens to be trapped in. Less mold growth and less fungus growth which can prevent several types of allergic reactions.  If you have terrible seasonal allergies you may want to try a wool mattress pad or topper for many of these various reasons.
