Most wool mattress tops on the market today are hand-tied with thread to
keep the cover and filling together. When secured this way, the wool filling
and the cotton cover are treated as one, and therefore treated the same.
Flexibility in care is lost and cost in care is increased. This is not
the case if you own a Pine Acres Woolstock mattress top. Here's why.

Instead of hand-tying the layers together in the traditional manner, the
layers on our top simply snap together. And since one end of the cover has
a zipper, it is easy to completely separate the cover from the wool filling.

Wool and cotton require different types of cleaning. When they are
separated they can be cleaned in the process that is appropriate for each.
Laundering the cotton cover is easy. Unzip the zipper, unsnap the snaps
and remove the wool. Wool naturally forms a cohesive batt that stays
together after the first few weeks of use. The holes in the wool batt
through which the snaps emerge likewise remain open naturally. After
the cover is laundered, the top is easily assembled back together.
Simply replace the wool, re-snap the fasteners and close the zipper.

With this flexible design, it is easy to add more wool to your top if you
desire. Unsnap, unzip, evenly layer more carded wool over the existing wool,
pull the snap ends through the new wool, re-snap and zip closed.

At reconditioning time, when the wool fill is sent to a mill to be washed and
recarded, an extra charge is usually incurred for labor to untie/retie
traditional mattress tops. With our design you simply place the freshly
carded wool back into the cotton cover, draw the ribbon snaps through
the reconditioned wool, snap and zip.

The built-in flexibility of the Pine Acres Woolstock Mattress Top puts you
in charge, not the other way around.
