Allergic to Wool? Are you sure about that? Hold on one second before you answer and read this...

Did you know that almost all of the people who say that they are allergic to wool are not actually allergic to wool. The truth is that almost all of animal furs are carbonized when they are processed. This involves processing the wool with acid which strips it. With Pure Grow Wool, no carbonization process is used. They use water to strip out the lanolin in the wool. It is a more labor intensive and expensive process. But it is the only way to retain the true natural qualities of the wool.

Some people who are allergic to animal hair, for example dog hair, cat hair, etc., may still find that they have an allergic reaction to the wool that is used in some of our products. If you have allergy problems with wool and are seriously interested in one of our products that contain wool, we would be happy to have a small sample of pure grow wool sent to you so that you can test it on yourself. You would just need to request this by email.

If you still think that you would be allergic to the pure grow wool, then we do have mattresses without wool:

	Organic Innerspring and Conventional Innerspring Mattresses
	Natural Latex Mattresses with a plain natural cotton cover.
