Royal-Pedic uses untreated, New Zealand
lamb's wool in many of their mattresses and pillowtop pads directly
underneath the covering as padding for added comfort and a restful
night's sleep. They use a thick layer of 100% wool, not blended
with any polyester. Be aware of mattresses that claim wool blend.
Yes they are using wool, but typically it's batting that is 3-7%
wool and 93-97% polyester fiber!
Advantages of wool
- Wool acts as a natural barrier to dust mites - lamb's wool naturally
contains lanolin, which makes the wool dust mite resistant. And
since the lamb's wool is the material directly underneath the
covering of many of our mattresses and pillowtop pads, you won't
have to worry about mites burrowing into the mattress.
- Wool is naturally flame resistant - it will not ignite or melt
in fire.
- Hypoallergenic - some people are allergic to wool if it comes
in direct contact with their skin. Since the wool in underneath
the cotton mattress covering, which is underneath the mattress
pad, which is underneath the fitted sheet, and since wool is odorless,
you can be rest assured of not having any reaction to the wool.
- Free of chemicals – Royal-Pedic’s untreated lamb's
wool does not contain dyes, bleaches, or harmful chemicals. The
wool is washed in a soap-based solution for cleaning purposes.
- Helps prevent bacteria build-up - wool has the ability to absorb
body moisture from perspiration and transport it into the air,
which provides for a dry sleeping environment.
- Warm in winter / cool in summer - wool dissipates body heat
providing a naturally climate controlled sleeping environment
regardless of season.
