Guest guest Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi, following up on the subject of wool jackets, i recently bought all new natural cotton and wool bedding because i want to avoid synthetics and all the toxic fire retardants and other chemicals in conventional bedding. But my new stuff has been arriving piece meal, first got the wool mattress toppers and pillows that I put on top of the plastic air mattresses that we started out on when we left our contaminated house and old mattresses... But, just discovered that my sick son's wool mattress topper started to mold, and this is in about 2 weeks, on the underside where it was in contact w/ the plastic air mattress (actually there was a sheet between), so he sweats, it drains down to where it can't go any farther, and then w/no ventilation can't go any farther........now this isn't happening with anyone else's bedding....but the rest of us don't lie in exactly the same place 24/7....obviously in hindsight I should have flipped and rotated and aired out his mattress topper every single day but i didn't even think of it, and now i am throwing it out.... So, I am now thinking i was not so smart (not the first time i've come to this realization!!) and maybe natural fibers aren't the best bedding material for him...but I don't want bedding w/toxic chemicals in it... Any wisdom to share here??? Thanks, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
