Keep your family bed dry naturally with organic wool made in the USA. No formaldehyde, bleaches, dyes. Wool keeps your bed dry and is comfortable for baby and you because it breathes. Put one of these in the middle of your bed where baby sleeps, under the sheet. The picture shows a queen size bed with the crib size puddle pad on it. Hopefully you won't have too many diaper leaks, but just in case of an accident, this keeps your bed protected. Synthetics are sweaty, and perhaps unsafe. If I wouldn't want to sleep on a vinyl pad, I don't want my little baby sleeping on vinyl, either. Your baby will sleep better with wool underneath, and that means you will sleep better, too (that's a major plus!). Another thing that makes this a very worthwhile investment is that is is useful for many years. I have one on my 5 year old son's twin bed, just in case. It's so totally comfortable, I don't plan on taking it off anytime soon, although he's been nighttime dry for ages now. Just air out the wool pad if it does get moist. Washing is rarely needed. We recommend Eucalan if you need to wash it at some point. If your baby sleeps on a synthetic crib mattress, this crib size pad fits perfectly under the sheet and provides a layer of breatheablility, thus more comfort. It is a must-have if you have a natural mattress. Wool is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Better sleep for everyone is a worthwhile investment. Great for chemically sensitive individuals, or anyone who wants a healthier sleep environment. This is not chemically treated or felted like the cheaper wool pads are. I purchased every brand of wool puddle pad I could find to test them, and these are the ones that really I like best because they work so well. Please note that all bedding items are not returnable by law unless unopened. Made in USA.
Pure-Rest untreated wool is a moisture resistant mattress protector. Breathable. Made in USA. 1/8" thick, hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, chemical-free, dye free, flame resistant. Pure-Rest Untreated Wool Moisture Pads are made from untreated wool from Pacific Northwest free range sheep. The sheep are not treated with antibiotics or hormones. They free range graze on lush fields that is not treated with pesticides or herbicides. This pure wool is felted here in the United States to create a perfect pad to resist liquids. Softer than competitor wool pads so you don't get that itchy feeling. No treatments, no plasticizers. Natural Elastic straps to put on any mattress. Soft, comfy (no crinkles) and not sweaty. I have one on each of our wool beds in our house. I don't actually wash them but just air them out once a year in the summertime in indirect light for an hour or so. They are machine washable, but that is really not practical because it's big and takes a while to dry. Spot handwash if soiled, but the sheet over it keeps it nice. Dampness really does just air out. If you expect a lot of heavy wetness such as bedwetting, use some extra absorbency between this and the sheet, such as a cotton blanket or a towel. That way you won't have to wash the wool and the cotton blanket will take up the flood and the wool will keep the moisture from going though and not have to absorb much so it will dry out quickly. The cotton blanket will wash up and dry easily so this really works well to protect your mattress and still be easy, comfortable and breathable. No sweaty waterproof fabrics and no outgassing. No sulfuric acid used in cleaning the wool, no mothproofing. The wool is from organically raised healthy USA sheep. Twin size and larger do have straps at the corners for an easy and secure fit on your mattress. The O'Wools are on clearance. Both are lovely but we want to simplify our stock.
I poured some water on this for the picture above. It beads up. Then I soaked up the water with a cotton diaper and viola! The wool hardly even feels damp at all, and the mattress underneath stays dry. Wool is the most wonderful thing! You'll wonder why people bother with smelly vinyl pads that are sweaty and don't breathe. Wool breathes. Wonderful!
This is very nice to have. A one-time worthwhile investment. You keep on using it for many years, even after the child is night trained, for just in case.
If my preschooler has a pee accident, I just take off the bedsheets and let the wool air in place while the sheets are in the wash. Honestly it stays fresh and does not need washing. If it gets stinky because it gets too wet too often, you'll need to wash it. If it's getting that wet then add a towel or extra sheets over the pad but under the sheet, then the cotton will do the absorbency (like a diaper) and the wool will just need to do it's normal job of resisting and dampness-catching which dries out to fresh. Thus it won't need washing.

Twin size and larger have corner straps.
