Wool over foam
|
Has anyone put wool over memory foam? We want to to cool our sleeping situation slightly with the wool. The only problem is if we add a layer of wool will we negate the ability of the memory foam to conform to our bodies?
Cheers. |

Many of the latex manufacturers use a wool layer in their mattress pad. We had actually thought of buying a wool toppper (my wife needed some extra PLUSH) but it was opined that for 1-2 weeks, the topper would feel great. Then the topper would compress and become firmer. Unless I was willing to constantly flush the topper, it would not give my wife the feel she was looking for. As indicated by others, the wool is an excellent body temperature regulator but depending on the thickness of the topper in question, it may 1) negate some of the benefits you wanted by choosing the memory foam in the first place and 2) may compress. If you are not concerned about what might be a firmer feel, or are willing to constantly fluff the topper, then it is a good direction, if body temperature is your main concern. |
