Wool has many benefits over other mattress materials because it is all natural! Unlike synthetic mattress stuffing, wool does not need to be treated with harsh chemicals in order to meet fire-resistant safety standards. Instead, you get to sleep free from toxins. Wool also provides more loft than other materials and the wool filling can be renewed every few years for continued lift. Other mattresses have to be thrown away once they lose their loft.

Wool is a natural fiber that shapes to your body reducing pressure points and naturally generates warmth that soothes the aches. People that sleep with Surround Ewe™ Sleep System Products find that they fall asleep more quickly and that their aches and pains are reduced.
Wool has a natural resilience as a result of the crimps (or “springiness”) found in each wool fiber. These attributes create a natural weight-support system.
Wool is a natural insulator. Bedding with wool delivers therapeutic warmth, which works together with your body to temporarily relieve pain and stiffness by relaxing sore, tight muscles and conforming to the contours of your body to help you fall asleep.
Wool bedding is doctor recommended for a number of reasons. Those with fibromyalgia, chronic pain, back pain, arthritis, TMJ, headaches, insomnia, and sleep disturbances have all found relief using our wool bedding products.

Ninety percent of patients with fibromyalgia have some form of sleep disturbance, including difficulties falling asleep, frequent awakenings, inability to fall back to sleep, tossing and turning all night, and early morning awakenings. Fibromyalgia also commonly causes joint pain, cold sensitivities and headaches. Our organic wool mattress toppers, comforters and pillows are helpful to those with fibromyalgia due to the natural properties of wool and the way it interacts with the human body.

Yes, more than likely. Wool is natural, pure and hypoallergenic. The wool is cleaned with a very gentle organic soap, and no harsh dyes or chemicals are used. Wool naturally resists dust mites, mold and mildew, making our ECO-Pure™ Wool sleep products perfect for people with allergies.
The most important thing you can do to protect your ECO-Pure™ Wool mattress, topper, and pillows is to purchase the washable coverlets and cases for them.
In addition, every time you wash your bedding, fluff and turn your Soothe Ewe™ Mattress Topper. Remove your Soothe Ewe™ Mattress Topper from your bed about every three months and air it out by placing it outside on a blanket for a few hours. Do NOT machine wash or dry clean wool products.
