Wool. We use wool in most of our bedding products, because we think it is simply the best material available for sleeping. Down feels nice when you first tuck yourself in, and it will keep you toasty, sometime too toasty. Down needs to be encased in a non-breathable cover, so it cannot readily absorb moisture, which means once you start sweating you can go from hot to cold and damp very quickly.

Crib mattresses and infant safety have become a major point of confusion for many new parents. There is a fair bit of contradictory information available online, through news media, and available from good-intentioned parents. The facts about crib mattress safety have been obscured by a number of factors, the least of which is that there is no single definitive cause of SIDS or Crib Death that

The Associated Press reported on Monday that a study was conducting in Oakland, California that confirms that using fans in babies rooms helps to reduce the chances of SIDS deaths. Ironically, the reason the fans working was not addressed: most crib mattresses are made out of polyurethane, which off-gasses brominates, flame retardants, formaldehyde, and other toxic chemicals.When fans are on,
