Studies done by the Wool Bureau and American Wool
Council suggest that arthritic and rheumatoid patients experience less
stiffness when they sleep on wool pads.
Many hospitals and nursing homes use them for bedridden
patients.
Older pets sleeping on wool bedding may experience
these same benefits.
Babies born prematurely are cuddled in wool for its
temperature regulating qualities.
Studies have shown that
premature babies will gain weight more rapidly when they sleep on wool.
These same features could
be a terrific benefit to those new litters of puppies and kittens.
