Lambswool is one of the most durable and flexible natural fibres. Natural disinfectant fibre, it resists development of bacteria. Excellent insulator and ventilator. it keeps you warm during the winter months and cool during the summer as it has the ability to absorb moisture without feeling wet or damp because it allows the air to circulate around the body. Lambswool gives good support with out compressing like most synthetic materials. It is naturally flame retardant and only smoulders when it comes into contact with a naked flame. Lambswool has been used in the nursery industry for centuries and has been used by man since before 10,000 B.C. Lambswool is sheared from lambs up to 7 months old, this usually happens during Spring time. The wool fleece is then put through a process called ‘scouring’ where the fleece is washed to remove all impurities such as dirt and grease. The wool is combed to straighten the fibres and then it is processed into pads to use in mattresses.
