I started with "baby" wools, lambs wools and wools with high lanolin content. I also started with silk or cotton layers between my skin and the wool. After two years I can now tolerate even very rough wools against my bare skin for varying periods of time. Good luck to all in finding the most appropriate materials for each self!

In fact, the opposite is true. We often hear back from people who have had great improvement in their quality of sleep and sense of wellbeing when sleeping on wool. If you think you may have trouble with wool, call Shepherd's Dream for a sample of any of the materials that are used in the bedding. They also have samples of the felts that are used in the layered bed. Your woolyness, Eliana Jantz Dear healthy bed seekers,

It makes my skin feel like it is biting and pinching me terribly, quite painfull with a rash. If I could do wool I might be warmer like with a coat or blanket, even a bed! Thanks for sharing this artical. Very good for those that can do wool....

Maybe in comparison to a real wool mattress it is a lot cheaper though. I am starting to wonder if it would be more cost effective to buy the animal and shear it yourself...for never ending wool products. Half joking and half serious....;-) Hi Evelyn,
