Made from 100% American virgin wool, SnugFleece Woolens’ products offer superb craftsmanship and a “hands-on” quality that is not found elsewhere. The SnugFleece Original and SnugFleece II mattress covers are constructed one row at a time, through a unique process that secures the wool to a cotton backing in its natural upright position. Because the crimp of the fibers remains intact, it stays lofty and resists compression. For the SnugFleece Deluxe, Elite or Imperial the wool is knitted through a durable polyester backing that allows the added convenience of machine washing.

Why a wool mattress is perfect:

- It acts as a thermostat that helps condition and regulate the temperature of your body. When it’s cold, it traps heat in your body, keeping you warm; when its hot, it absorbs your sweat while you are sleeping on the bed.
- It is made of natural materials that lets the bed “breathe”.
- It is best for any season.
- Its very soft fabric allows you to sleep comfortably.
