How to use Wisewool™ Needle-Punched Blanketing in Mattress Construction?

Wisewool™ needle-punched blanketing combines the durability of 100% New Zealand strong wool with innovative design, making it a great choice for sustainable mattress construction.



What is Wisewool™ Needle-Punched Blanketing?

Wisewool™ needle-punched blanketing is a premium material crafted from 100% New Zealand strong wool. This natural fiber undergoes an advanced needle-punching process, transforming it into a durable, breathable, and versatile layer. Designed to cater to diverse mattress construction needs, it is available in various GSM (grams per square meter) and loft options, ensuring customisable solutions for comfort and support.



What Are the GSM Options for Needle-Punched Blanketing?

GSM grams of  wool per square meter and directly influences performance:

  • Lightweight (200–300 GSM): Thin and breathable for additional cushioning layers.

  • Medium Weight (350–500 GSM): A versatile balanced comfort and support choice.

  • Heavyweight (600–1200 GSM): Robust for durable mattress support layers with superior insulation.



What Are the Loft Variations in Needle-Punched Blanketing?

Loft affects the thickness and comfort of wool layers:

  • Low Loft (LL): Firm and compact for sleek, supportive base layers.

  • High Loft (HL): Thick, plush and less dense for premium comfort layers.

How Can Wisewool™ Enhance Mattress Softness and Firmness?

Wisewool™ offers flexibility in balancing these qualities for a tailored sleep experience:

  • Softness: The higher the loft (HL) and the greater the GSM weights, the more plush, cushioned, and softer comfort layers are created.

  • Firmness: Low loft (LL) and medium-to-heavy GSM configurations provide firm, durable base layers.

This adaptability makes Wisewool™ an ideal choice for achieving the perfect blend of comfort and support.




How do you use Wisewool™ Needle-Punched Blanketing In a mattress? 

It is an excellent natural alternative to synthetic materials for making the top layer of a mattress, also called the comfort layer or mattress top.

It provides a soft, breathable, and comfortable surface that is ideal for those seeking a natural option. The products quilt very well through quilting machines, resulting in a high-quality, plush top layer that enhances comfort while maintaining breathability and moisture-wicking properties. This is an excellent replacement for standard polyester / synthetic wadding or foam layers. 



Other Ways to Apply Wisewool within A Mattress?

Wisewool can be used in a mattress in several ways beyond traditional applications.

Quilted mattress side/ board panels made from synthetic materials can be replaced with wool using quilting machines to create a natural, breathable panel. It also glues very well to other surfaces.

Another effective technique is wrapping the latex foam core with wool, which softens the firmness of the latex, making it more comfortable while reducing overheating. These methods enhance comfort and contribute to a more natural and eco-friendly mattress design.
