Made locally for us with our wool and our fabric by St. Peter’s Woolen mill, this topper will demonstrate the amazing properties of wool. The composition and shape of wool’s fiber make it uniquely soothing. Wool can resonate with your body like nothing else as it shares the same protein as our skin and our hair.
If you want comfort with support and temperature regulating abilities and moisture absorbing abilities and a long lasting fiber, a wool topper is right for you. If you want a spongy, traditional feeling pillow top layer, purchase a piece of soft latex. Wool is soft but certainly not spongy. When comparing firmness to latex, it is most closely compared with a medium slab of latex, though the feel is not bouncy but instead consistently plush.
Inside the organic fabric is wool batting. Wool batting starts out very lofty. If you sleep under it as a comforter, it will retain its loft. If you sleep on it, as a topper, it will compress to about 2/3 its height. This is worth noting because if you want even compression on your topper, you will need to occasionally rotate it to sleep on it sideways and flip it too. Instructions are here. As your topper smooths out, the tufts will go completely unnoticed, though they will have been barely noticeable to begin with. While the feel of the topper will change from cloud like to smooth after a few months, you will still feel the cushioning layer beneath you, the fibers stretching instead of merely bending with your movements.
