Question from 2eyes

I’ve been considering purchasing a washable wool mattress topper. From my research so far, I’ve gotten that wool becomes washable because it is bonded with “a resin” or Teflon. With further digging around, I found that the wool batting that quilters use is bonded with a resin that is typically acrylic. So, I’m not feeling comfortable about the idea of sleeping on washable wool so far. Any thoughts to allay my concerns? Has anyone heard of a relatively benign resin used to make wool washable? Pine resin or something?

I think you should look at each specific wool topper and see what the wool is or isn’t treated with.

I have a couple of wool toppers on my bed. I’ve never washed them. I air them in the sun occasionally. I have wool mattresses and a wool comforter. Again, I’ve never washed them and they are still fresh and comfortable with airing and sunshine.

Mine are from Shepherd’s Dream.
