These moisture barriers from PureRest Organics are naturally water repellent, as the 1/8″ thick Eco-wool fabric is tightly woven and felted. No chemical treatments or plasticizers are applied. The eco-wool used to make the pad is sheered from West Coast USA sheep that are not treated with antibiotics or hormones and free-range graze on fields not treated with pesticides or herbicides. The wool is organically processed and is not cleaned with sulfuric acid; instead it is combed to retain purity while still providing a clean product. In addition to its water repellent properties, it is resistant to dust mites, bacteria and mold, and is naturally flame retardant. It is held in place on your mattress with natural elastic corner straps.
These wool pads can be machine-washed on delicate and line-dried, however they should not need frequent washing because wool does not harbor bacteria or mold. Airing, rather than washing, will help the wool retain its natural lanolin. Should the pad become less water repellent over time it can be re-lanolized using the process used on wool diaper covers. Covering with a quilted pad, thick towel or blanket is suggested to reduce chance of leakage.
- Sheep have dark and light coats, so you may see some dark fibers mixed in with the light ones.
