Middlebury-based Vermont Organic Fiber Company (VTOF), the nation’s leading organic wool provider, has launched a new line of soft, moisture-absorbing O-Wool® mattress pads for baby (and adults!) made with organic wool grown and certified to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) organic standard.

The pads not only protect mattresses, they also for regulating body temperature and wicking away moisture, thus ensuring a more comfortable sleep. Wool naturally repels wetness, draws moisture away from the body, is flame resistant and temperature regulating, insulates against both hot and cold, and can absorb up to 30 percent of its weight in moisture. Its structure allows moisture to quickly evaporate when exposed to air, inhibiting the growth of mildew and discouraging the presence of dust mites.

The pads will be for sale at baby and bedding stores and online retailers as well as from www.owool.com. The MSRP prices range from $45 for Puddle Pads to $250 for King sizes, the lowest costs for such products on the market.
