mattress underlay felted organic wool
100% organic felted wool underlay, made from pure undyed wool certified to the Global Organic Textiles Standards.
What is an underlay used for? It's a mattress protector for the bottom of your bed! The underlay is placed between the mattress and the slats of the bed where they reduce friction and help prolong the life of the mattress, protecting your mattress from wear and tear from the likes of sneaky splinters, or screws in the slats.
They can also create a more cosy sleeping environment by keeping away cold air from the mattress, and can help draw out any moisture that may occur.
Although underlays are designed to protect the mattress from the slats, they can be used on top of the mattress as a firming topper that reduces the feel of any lumps, bumps and springs in your mattress! This has been tried and tested at Greenfibres!
Because they are felted and don't require seaming, the underlays can easily be cut to suit the size or shape you require. Anyone have a heart-shaped bed?!
Underlays are particularly recommended for mattresses made from latex which are prone to indentations, or slatted bases that have seen better days. Will fit snugly over your slats with the mattress positioned on top, no need to stick or tie down!

Please do not machine wash. Underlays made with animal hairs have the natural capacity to regenerate themselves - air them frequently and expose them to sunlight when possible. Stains can be spot-cleaned using a special wool detergent. It is possible to gently hand-wash the mattress underlay if needed. Please note that the wool is undyed, so the stock can vary in colour from off-white to brown.
