Why do I need a wool underlay/mattress protector for my baby's cot or child's bed?

Young children are active sleepers and leaks and accidents occur often.  An underlay provides additional protection for your cot mattress and is easier to clean than the mattress itself.

However there are also significant health benefits for a child sleeping on a wool underlay.  Bearing in mind that young children spend roughly half their day asleep, organic wool's natural qualities provide a superior sleep experience because the extra later of wool naturally:

• helps regulate body temperature and provides better air circulation, keeping your child warmer in winter and cooler (and dryer) in summer,
• improves sleep hygiene by creating a healthier, drier sleeping environment,
• is more comforable and helps them to feel snug and secure,
• is dust mite resistant and naturally hypoallergenic so improves the quality of sleep for children with allergies or sensitive skins

Independent tests prove that sleeping with wool helps maintain a lower, more consistent heart rate so your child will sleep more soundly.

 If your mattress contains synthetic or manmade products, a woollen underlay can provide significant health and hygiene benefits.  It will provide a buffer the sleeper from any synthetic and processed materials in your mattress to help promote a better quality of sleep.
