Wool toppers are definitely great! They're probably one of our best sellers at White Lotus Home. The wool fiber is coiled, so it tends to be a bit more resilient inside a topper. With mine, I try my best to flip it regularly (every time I change the sheets) so that it wears nice and evenly and I can keep it even longer. Our wool is very natural and does have a scent to it at first, but the scent will dissipate over time. Again, always request a sample of the filling materials so you are able to "try before you buy" as Debra suggests! Wool is like a miracle fiber for bedding since it acts as an insulator for your body heat, and helps to draw the moisture away from you while sleeping (since we all sweat a little bit when we sleep!). It's also naturally dust mite resistant, another HUGE plus for bedding. The other great thing about wool toppers is that the cleaning couldn't be simpler! For mine, I like to drag it out in the backyard on a sunny day. Usually I place it on top of a flat sheet, but the sunlight releases the lanolin oil in the wool and acts as a natural cleanser/deodorizer.

Latex toppers are also really nice for helping to prevent pressure points, since it tends to be soft, yet supportive, and bounces back in the areas that you need it to. We make a great latex and wool filled topper that can be used on an existing mattress.

Thanks, Debra! Just the info I was looking for :) by the way, we're looking forward to your "new" website :)

Hi Hallee - thanks for your comments on wool toppers. I am definitely making plans to purchase one. Regarding your comments on your latex and wool topper -- I am very allergic to latex (can't even be around it in bedding stores) - any idea what I could do for pressure point pain? Do you believe your wool topper would help in that regard? Thanks, LAA
