Pure Rest / Crown City Mattress is the only organic mattress manufacturer which processes wool in their own facility. The wool is washed and fed into a machine that cleans and separates the fibers. It comes out into neat folds of carded wool. The machine does not process anything but Pure-Grow Wool so there are no other contaminants in the wool. |
The Pure-Grow Wool Story
The Pure Grow Wool project is a unique program that emphasizes a long-term commitment with local ranchers to insure pure, clean wool for our products. The "Pure Grow" wool ranchers are asked to follow healthful farming practices such as:
1. Utilize year round rational grazing and responsible land management. Good nutrition to maximize animal health. Non-crowded conditions, fresh air, daylight, clean and roomy shelters.
2. In the shearing process, use a clean room and a surface free of dirt, dust and pests. Clean shearing produces clean wool.
3. The wool is removed in a single fleece and placed on the skirting table; there it is inspected for length, strength, dirt and pests. Care is taken to keep the wool as clean as possible during shearing to eliminate any need for chemical treatments to remove burrs, brands, dirt and other impurities. Only top quality wool is used in our products.
4. Shorn wool is immediately separated by color and placed in clean dry sacks.
5. The wool is taken to a scouring mill where it is soaked in hot water to remove loose matter. Then it is washed a minimum of two times in hot water with a safe, biodegradable detergent, rinsed in hot water and wrapped into large bales.
6. The clean wool is then shipped to manufacturing. Several lots of wool are blended to insure uniform quality and then carded. The carding process involves mechanically combing the wool fibers into smooth bats.
Wool is a springy, resilient fiber that contains an abundance of air. This fiber/air combination acts to cushion the body and prevent the formation of annoying and painful pressure points.
Wool has the ability to absorb large amounts of moisture vapor without feeling wet and clammy. The average person gives of a pint of vapor as perspiration during an eight-hour sleep period. The ability of our wool fiber to handle this moisture is very important. Wool handles body moisture under warm and cool sleeping conditions in a manner superior to cotton, down, or synthetic fiber.
