Smooth fibers do not offer structure nor resist each other when they are grouped together, thus, synthetics bottom out when weight is applied. Cannot support weight, nor distribute it away from pressure and tender points. Fiber breakage also occurs over time. |
A mix of soft feathers, provides more support than synthetic, however still tends to bottom out and likewise cannot support weight nor distribute it away from pressure and tender points. |
Although they provide a little more support than synthetic or down, the support does not last very long because fibers break and/or matte down. Here too, there is no support and distribution of body weight away from pressure and tender points. |
Has a natural resilience that is a function of the natural crimps (or springiness) found in each wool fiber. These natural attributes create a weight supporting structure with the non-woven batting, like none of the others! |

Good insulators (i.e., Thinsulate™) by trapping quite a bit of area. |
With at least 85%+ mixture of feathers and plume, is also a good insulator. Down and feather fill have a tendancy to overheat. |
Breathes well and is preferred for some applications, but not as an insulator. |
Wool is as good as micro-fibers or down, plus has the added benefit of breath-ability, therefore wool can insulate and keep you warm to your exact body temperature, 98.6°F. By maintaining your exact body temperature, you will not overheat while you are sleeping. |

Absorb less than 1% of moisture, so moisture from your body has to pass through your blankets and mattress or it will condense as perspiration. |

Absorbs a lot of moisture and it too becomes a "wet blanket" -- uncomfortable to be in contact with |
It dries from within and as a result of wool's special porous fibers, moisture evaporates quickly |

Almost all synthetic fibers are flammable |
Somewhat flame resistant, because it does absorb "some" moisture |
Somewhat flame resistant, because it does absorb "some" moisture, but can kindle if exposed to fire consistently |
Safest choice as shown by its institutional use. Because of its unique chemical structure and natural moisture absorption, difficult to ignite. Wool suits are worn by race car drivers to protect them from fire. |

- Think about which Soothe Ewe™ Mattress Topper will best meet your needs. The wool filling works to reduce pain and muscle soreness by eliminating pressure points. This only happens if your body is completely suspended by the mattress topper, so the more you weigh, the thicker the mattress topper you'll need. We offer wool mattress toppers in standard or ultimate weight for added comfort. The ultimate mattress topper is especially recommended for people who weigh 180-200lbs or more and those needing additional pain relief.
- Talk with your doctor about getting a prescription for a Soothe Ewe™ ECO-Pure™ Wool mattress topper if you've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic pain, TMJ or arthritis. Some insurance companies will cover the cost if a doctor deems them medically beneficial.
Once you have your ECO-Pure™ Wool Sleep System in place be prepared for the best rest ever and follow these wool bedding tips to increase the life of your ECO-Pure™ Wool mattress, pillows and comforters.
