A lot of folks have related questions regarding our organic mattress protectors, the
biggest one being: what is the difference
between a cotton mattress pad and a wool moisture protection pad?A very good question as these two items can
easily be confused. The biggest difference is found in the fabrics. Being that
our mattress protectors are fully organic, each utilizes the characteristics
commonly found in the natural fabric. Cotton is known to be a highly absorbent material
which you can testify to anytime you spill juice on an article of clothing. It
immediately soaks up the liquid and prevents it from spilling onto surrounding
surfaces. Our cotton pads are a lot like that however, they’re extra thick for
an increased level of absorbency. So when your baby has an unfortunate
accident, your cotton mattress pad does the job in soaking it up!
Now that you understand the purpose of our cotton pad, the
organic wool moisture protection pad works hand-in-hand to stop leaks from
reaching your baby’s elegant mattress. Wool acts as a natural repellant to keep
liquid above the surface much like a stain repellant dress shirt. Therefore
spills lie peacefully on top of the wool puddle pad and can be cleaned up easily
before causing too much further damage. Now you can see how our cotton and wool
pads are a perfect team for keeping stains and spills safely away from your
expensive mattress! Scroll below to read more...
It must be said that our pads are not 100% effective. In fact, if you buy any 100% organic mattress protector, this will be the case. The reason behind it is because of the purity of the fibers. Unlike many other pads that have synthetic materials to bind and hold the cotton and/or wool together, our pads are free from these harmful substances and therefore are not completely absorbent – in the case of our cotton pad – or repellant – in the case of our wool pad. But for the vast majority of spills or accidents your child will have during their potty training years, our pads will certainly do the job. As long as you’re not a neglectful parent who leaves spills unattended to for days on end, you’ll love all our organic mattress protectors have to offer! (Oh, and don’t forget about our dust mite covers as well! These can keep your baby free and clear of those nasty bed bugs that cause allergies and congestion issues).
