The wooly fire fighter
Sheep know best, wool is an amazingly effective fire retardant with ignition temperatures three times that of cotton or synthetics. In other words, household items that convey mild to moderate heat, like light bulbs or curling irons, can come into contact with wool fibers without igniting them.

Built-in coolant
Never pity a sheep in summer. Their wooly coat may look hot but wool actually keeps their bodies cool by pulling heat away from their skin. The same principle applies to our mattress. Certified organic wool prevents infant overheating by pulling excess heat away from infant skin and into the inner layers of the mattress.

Organic wool vs chemical retardants
Many mattresses employ chemicals to create a fire retardant surface but the result can produce off-gasses that pollute nursery air. Organic wool is nature's fire retardant, and an efficient one at that. It is the ideal natural alternative because it removes chemicals, synthetic hormones and pesticides from the production process and the nursery.

People and planet friendly
Nook supports the US economy by buying certified organic wool from family-owned farms in Northern California and Oregon. Buying local organic guarantees good grazing practices and sustains the land for future generations.
