Health Hazards in Your Bedroom

Instead of providing you a safe haven, some of the things you have at home are actually harmful to your health. Your bedroom in particular contains many substances that can cause upper respiratory ailments and skin problems.

No matter how clean they look, the coverings on your bed contains millions of allergens which can trigger asthma and allergic skin reactions. Dust mites abound on your bedsheets, pillows and blankets. These multiply quickly on your bed's surface, causing you or your family to catch allergy or asthma attacks easily.

Counteracting Allergens on your Bed

Certain types of fabrics such as cotton and linen can attract dust mites, especially if the sheets are not regularly changed.

For best results, you need to change the sheets almost everyday. But this is quite tedious and inconvenient, especially if you have a busy work schedule at home or in the office.

Another way to get rid of allergens is to vacuum the beddings and the mattress of your bed. Again, this would be quite tedious, especially if you have to lift the mattress while using your vacuum cleaner.

You can also try anti-allergen sprays on the surface of your bed and linens in order to prevent growth and spread of the allergens.

Benefits of Wool Mattress Pads

Made with pure lamb's wool, mattress pads provide you with a much more comfortable rest than pads made with cotton and other materials. Unlike regular mattress pads which are made from other types of fabrics, wool mattress pads have pressure points which allow air to circulate around your body as you sleep.

One side of the wool mattress pad has lamb's wool, while the other side has quilting. You can sleep on the woolen side to keep yourself warm during winter nights, or you can use the reverse side with the quilting during summer. There are elastic bands on each corner of the wool mattress pad to keep the it from getting dislocated.

Wool mattress pads are ideal because their materials allow the air to circulate freely and therefore discourage growth of harmful dust mites. Indirectly, wool mattress pads also allow you to sleep better, since the soft woolen surface allows proper circulation. Wool also contains oils that resist liquids or wetness which can lead to fungal or bacterial growth.

The high resiliency level of wool mattress pads make them easier to care for, either by regular machine wash, dry cleaning or vacuuming. The surface dries easily and will spring back to its original shape.

Where to Order Wool Mattress Pads

You can find wool mattress pads at the linen section of most department stores, or at specialty shops selling home articles. Like magnetic pads and rug pads, wool mattress pads can also be found in the web.

Wool mattress pads are available in cot, twin, queen or king sizes. Shipping and handling are free of charge in most cases.
