Common Industry PracticesCarbonizing :Destroying vegetable matter lodged in wool using harsh acid; leaving the wool dried and unnaturally crimped. This method is used with New Zealand wool, as it tends to contain more veggie matter (5%VM). Dipping:Bathing sheep in chemicals to ward off pests and insects. Bleaching:Different chemical solutions can be applied to whiten wool during and after scouring. Careless Shearing :Shearers are often paid per sheep, encouraging the average shearer to hurry. This leads to small wounds on the sheep that can easily become infected. Over-Grazing :Crowding too many sheep onto land destroys vegetation and leads to erosion. If a field becomes barren, the grower must bring in dry feed that can add additional veggie-matter to the fleece.. |
The Guiding Criteria For Eco-Wool : Our batting is made from a blend of wool from different sheep breeds. The fleeces are then cleaned and carded on a full wool card line, which produces the finest known woolen batting available.

One inch of Pure Eco-Wool is quilted into our mattress covers. You can't see it, but you will appreciate it. |

FloBeds Note:
All wool will "nest" or make an impression where you lay. This will happen naturally, but can be relofted by shaking out (or with a vacuum). It will not cause uneven support. Wool nesting will not feel like the hole you get when the polyurethane in other mattresses breaks down and creates a permanent valley that you actually roll into.
