Wool Topper-Pad Ratings: Overall As a Group The ratings show how wool toppers as a group compare to the average mattress topper as evaluated by consumers.
For ratings on specific brands, see the following section. Wool toppers often range $140-$330. The average price for a wool topper is about $198 vs about $145 for the average topper. Memory foam and latex tend to do better in regard to preventing / relieving back and joint pain. Wool's ability to improve mattress support is generally inferior to that of memory foam and latex. Wool toppers generally have above average durability / longevity, but they will likely lose resiliency over time. The ability of wool toppers to conform and contour to a person's body is not a strength especially when compared to foam and latex toppers. Unlike memory foam, wool does not help to keep movement of one person from disturbing another person on the bed. No lumpiness / clumping While wool toppers are more likely to clump or lump that memory foam and latex toppers, less than 6% of wool owners report a problem. Wool toppers/pads usually provide little resistance to moving around on and getting up off.
Wool is silent when compressed or moved on. Easy to move, lift, handle Wool toppers tend to weigh 4-12 pounds depending mostly on size – making them lighter than most other topper types. The softness provided by the topper can allow sex to be more comfortable without lessening bounce or ease of movement. About 5% of owners report an initial smell – often "barnyard" in nature – but it is usually not severe or long lasting. In addition to keeping you warm in winter, wool absorbs moisture to help keep you cooler in summer. As a result, wool toppers often provide at least some relief for hot sleepers. Nevertheless, about 4% of owners report significant unwanted heat retention. Proper fit / secure Like mattress toppers in general, wool toppers may not fit properly to the dimensions of the mattress. And they may not stay fully secure. A wool topper-pad usually has a clean and even appearance, but compression can leave a slightly sagged appearance to the bed.
Occasional to regular shaking / fluffing may be needed to maintain loft and comfort especially for thicker wool toppers. They are often machine washable, otherwise spot cleanable. They tend to dry quickly. Some shrinkage is possible. The following table compares wool toppers / pads that rate 85% or higher in owner satisfaction based on at least 80 consumer experiences.

Wool mattress toppers accommodate changing body temperature by helping you to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. During the cold months, air pockets between the fibers of the wool topper hold body heat resulting in a more consistent body temperature.
During the warm months, the hollow fibers of wool allow the topper to wick moisture which helps to keep your skin dry, not damp and clammy. Consequently, your sleep surface stays cool even if there is high humidity. This dry sleep surface discourages the growth of mold and mildew, which can benefit people with allergies.

Or will I still have to encase this in a protective cover?" Even if the wool itself is repellent, the sides are just made of a fitted cotton tuck-in material and bugs would definitely have access to the bottom of the mattress.
I doubt it will repel bedbugs, you will still need a protective cover. This cover is similar to a regular fitted sheet, only it has fur on top. "do you carry smaller lamb's wool pads for a bed bound patient. We need something smaller to fit under buttocks." Unfortunately, I was unable to find a smaller lambswool pad. "What is the weight of a queen sized bed topper?" The shipping weight of the mattress pad is approximately 9 pounds. "You say this is Lambs Wool but under materials you putSo which is it? I can buy Cotton/Polyester lots cheaper than lambs will." The skirting is made of polycotton, and the face of the mattress pad is 100-percent superwash lambswool. Queen lambswool mattress pad is crafted with lambswool and polycotton skirt to enhance your comfort while sleeping The face of this mattress pad is 100-percent superwash lambswool to simplify cleaning. what do you mean that mattress pad is crafted with lambswool..is the filling 100% lambs wool and the only polyester is in the skirt?
I have issues w some polyester/ I need to be sure the polyester is not the actual pad "Where is this made? Hello caroljoseph, the country of origin is USA. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us. "I recently acquired a mattress which has a top layer of smaller, micro-coils in the pillow top. I was told this would be cooler than a latex or memory foam topper but it's still too hot for me. Would you recommend this lambswool pad to help with the heat or should I consider something else like a micro gel based pad? Hello jpweigel, many reviewers have used this product to cool their bed down and they all seem very happy with their purchase. Have a great day! "I have a pillow top Dr. Breus latex mattress, measures 13-14" depending on how you look at the puffy pillow top. Will this mattress cover stay in place?" Hello hjo, this has a pocket depth of 16 inches, it should work for you. Thanks for shopping with us! "Why did you choose this product?"
tempurpedic mattress's are 'sweaty'. make my night showers useless. hopefully the wool will act as a barrier between me, my shower and my rubber mattress. Have one already and love it! I have arthritis and the reviews were good. Recommended to reduce night sweats. warm in winter cool in summer,no chemical smell,natural product Just purchased a new bed and this pad will make even more luxurious. I have had this kind of mattress pad before and loved it. Changed to a king bed so gave up the lambswool mattress pad. Now back to a queen and wish to have the lambswool again -- the "nice" pad I have now is always slipping and losing the sheet on top of it. And I tend to overheat in the night -- want the cooling help of this pad. My wife's a "hot" sleeper. Hope this get's her cooled down. for coolness of lambswool, it better work. I want a pad with no flame retardant chemicals added. To help with night sweats. The reviews confirmed this item will do that.
from looking at several sources found in an internet search, and from reading the reviews on your site I was looking for a 100 % lambswool pad for my bed, current foam matress pad makes me too hot. It was recommended to me by a good friend. My daughter has it and I liked the way if feelsI have an electric blanket, which would be over the top sheet. Would that be safe with this mattress pad/" Hello Carolyn, the wool mattress pad goes under the fitted sheet just like any other mattress pad. I would recommend you see the instructions for safety use on your electric blanket. Thank you for shopping with us! I have used a heated mattress pad under my wool pad, with no problems. Would think an electric blanket would be ok too. "I need few more in bed picture of this mettress pad, one is not enough. Hello lordthunder, this is the only image we currently have. We apologize for the inconvenience. "Is this waterproof, or at least partially so? I am buying a new mattress and would like to insure against any wayward cat incidents..."
yes, I even washed it in delicate with cold water and hanged it to dry. I would not wash this item as it does not have a backing to prevent the wool from coming off the backing that it is woven into. It will just slip off the backing as others like this have done for me. Which is why I am not going to wash it. It is a little bit stinky. Maybe a lot stinky I've had this item for about three years and have been extremely happy with it. In answer to the question about being waterproof, the answer is yes--with a caveat: If you drop a full glass of water directly on this mattress pad, your mattress may get slightly damp. If that happens, simply remove the pad, hang it out to dry, then blot the mattress with a towel and let it air dry. This pad can be washed in a front loader using cold water and a medium spin cycle. It's very heavy when wet: You'll need a heavy duty dryer or a strong clothesline to hang it up. Excellent quality, great buy. Not stinky unless it's wet. "Will this mattress pad work with a 9" latext mattress?"
i have mine on an 8 1/2 " mattress, and it fits well. I would think it would work just fine. Works like a charm. I had mine on a 13" mattress and it fit. It's now on an 11.5" mattress and fits fine...doesn't seem to have stretched at the corners. "I have been in search of a pad that adds firmness to our too soft mattress. I have tried numerous memory foam toppers and pads, none of them have added the firmness that is needed. What should I expect with this pad?" Hello april291, thank you for your inquiry! This mattress pad does not have a high enough density if you are looking for firmness. However, item number 15354790 would provide the firmness you would want. I hope this helps. You might want to look for a high ILD latex pad.?. Latex seems to feel like it pushes up. "How many gsm is the wool underlay" Hello hambo, Thank you for your inquiry! The wool pad is 21.7 ounces/square yard, or 49.5 oz./lineal yard. I hope this helps! "Some of the reviews state this product has a polyester backing, but that is not in the description...only states the skirt is poly/cotton.
Is there any sort of backing that is not wool?" Thank you for contacting us lrachel1. The top of the pad is wool, and the bottom of the pad (the part of the pad that lays against the mattress) is polyester. Please let us know if you have any further questions. "What wash and dry temperature? You can machine wash this in cold water with regular detergent and then line dry this. Have a great day! I have washed mine in cold with regular detergent and died in the drier. I use cold water and fragrance free detergent in a front load washer. Since the washer uses less water, I put it on double rinse with low or medium spin cycle. Dry on low or hang on a line. "Is this pad treated with any chemicals or fire retardants?" According to the manufacturer''s representative "We do not treat it with any chemicals or fire retardants. However, the wool fiber supplier has to treat the fiber with a Chloride/Resin treatment to make it a ''washable wool'', which is done before we get it and turn it into fabric."
