Conventional mattresses are filled with synthetic materials. These are used in mattresses as a flame retardant. Sleeping on a natural organic mattress is a healthier, more restorative sleep. People who sleep on natural mattresses, using material such as natural wool, toss and turn significantly less. Additionally, they sleep and feel better the next day when sleeping on wool. The less a person tosses and turns is related to a greater quality of sleep! Natural wool increases sleep quality and reduces tossing and turning because 1) it reduces pressure points; and 2) it regulates body temperature, wool helps keep you warm when it is cold and cool when it is warm. Wool can do this because of its moisture-regulation quality. Here is how it works: when you get too hot, you sweat. If you are sleeping with bedding that is not natural, the sweat will remain near your body and not evaporate, and not cool you down. You can wake up feeling sticky and clammy. However, if you are sleeping with natural organic fibers, which are breathable, the sweat can evaporate from your body and cool you down. Wool is able to wick water away from your body and is able to absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture and still feel dry. Wool helps you stay warm when the air is cool because it is a natural insulator. There are air pockets in wool, which trap heat and let the air circulate near your body. In this way, your body heat stays regulated. If you have a consistent body temperature, you will toss and turn less and have a deep and restful sleep.
