Alpaca Wool Mattress Topper Manufacturer: PenroseProduct Code: AWMT Penrose Products offer a range of luxurious alpaca mattress toppers, which are all lovingly handmade in Nottinghamshire. Mattress toppers provide an affordable solution to natural wear and work to revitalise any mattress, offering a balance between support and luxurious comfort. We fill them with only 100% alpaca fibre, which works with your internal thermostat to keep you at a comfortable temperature. Alpaca wool is made up of hollow fibres that allow water molecules to move freely. This keeps your body cool and dry and helps your body to control temperature whilst you sleep. Alpaca fibre is naturally anti-allergenic. The cool, dry environment created with the use of such a fibre makes it difficult for dust mites to live and breed. Dust mite droppings trigger a high proportion of allergies like Asthma. Our mattress toppers are the perfect choice for those who suffer such allergies. We are supporters of the British rural economy and only use natural materials sourced within the UK.
We use fibre collected from British Alpacas and couple it with a natural cotton cover that is uniquely hand stitched to allow maximum air flow. Made with love and personalised, you can now send this alpaca wool mattress topper to a loved one with personalisation. We can personalise the bag of this product with an embroidered message of your choice, like in the photo above. If you wish to take up this offer and have your bag personalised, then please state this in the comments box on your order form and we will call you back to discuss your requirements.

Product DescriptionLocalLoftyClean of chemicals and of course, dirt3 lb. or 4 lb.stretch to sizeStraight from local farms, processed at our local woolen mill, this wool is carded in a sheet. We sell it either by the sheet (batt) or by smaller pieces by the half lb. The color of the sheep’s wool accounts for the different colors of batting.The wool is not treated with any bleaches or acid baths; the vegetable matter is not carbonized. The only substance used in its processing is a surfactant, which breaks the surface tension of the water, allowing the oily lanolin to float away in the washing water. If you press your nose into it, you may notice a slight sheepy smell smell.Multiple batts create a wool topper or a wool pillow. After compression, usually about 6 months, the 3lb. wool settles down to its final height of 1/2″ thick per batt. the 4lb. wool to 3/4″. The weight of the wool does not change the width or length of the batt, just its thickness, the 4 lb. being thicker.
To create a 3″ topper, you will need about 6 batts.The wool batting comes off the carder in the size 66″ x 88″. The longer the carder spins, the more layers of wool fibers are laid on top of each other and the heavier the batt becomes. Since all the wool fibers are aligned, it is easy to stretch the wool to a larger size. Using the palms of your hands on the wool, gently and slowly push your hands away from each other, pulling the fibers apart slightly. Continue this pulling in rows down the batting until it is the size you want it to be. Here are some examples of sizes you can use.The wool batt 66″ x 88″ is the right size for a queen mattress or topper. Wrapped around a crib mattress, it would wrap twice horizontally plus once vertically, making the top of the mattress gently cushioned.A wool batt stretched to 72″ x 90″ is enough to wrap around a 6″ twin perfectly or a 3″ full with a slight stretch. Larger sizes of mattresses will require multiple batts to create a wrap.
Some like to use the batt to wrap their natural latex, prolonging its life by protecting it from sunlight, heat vents, and other elements that cause it to deteriorate. Cut in half, it makes two soft standard size pillows.A wool batt 90″ x 90″ is the right size to wrap the top of a king size mattress with enough room to fold down the sides to meet another batt wrapped underneath the latex. Folded in half with a little more stretch, it will fit a full size wool topper. Cut in half, it makes two firm standard size pillows. It would also make a queen sized comforter or quilt.For the crafters, this wool felts up nicely, stuffs without lumping and dyes easily. For the hand spinner, make your own roving by tearing off strips. This batt is perfect for making your own comforter and quilt as it will be able to retain its loft since you are not lying on it every night. For the topper, this wool will compress in about 6 months, but it will retain its comfort and insulating properties while losing its cloud like enveloping feel.
