What would be the pros and cons of getting the wool fill versus the cotton fill? Trying to figure out which to get. Thanks

You can not put wool pillow in the wash, although it's better for someone with allergies. I went cotton, I couldn't imagine not having the option to throw it in the wash.

Wool is a natural fire retardant. So no need for any fire retardant chemicals

Wool is naturally somewhat flame resistant. However this pillow turned out to be more firm and high than expected. My toddler has been preferring a down pillow. Cotton is probably softer. It is also semi- flame resistant but not as much as wool

Woolzies will be fine. They don't have any chemicals on them at all. You can add drops of essential oils to make your laundry smell nice.

I couldn't find the tag (it's on my daughter's bed and I didn't want to disassemble it) so I can't answer your questions completely, but here goes: the backing is clearly synthetic, not cotton--it's very slick and shiny. Don't know about the filling, but I would guess polyester. I think it would cost more if it was all cotton. The quilting is stitched.

I agree with the majority that some synthetic fiber such as microfiber would be much better. That said, if you do use lambswool remember you will have to wash it occasionally. If you wash lambswool, I would highly recommend that you use Woolite with cold water and air dry it without direct sunlight.

It depends on which ones you get. The ultra comfy are 90% which is just perfect. The nylon (9%) and elastane (1%) is what keeps them up around leg. Not so tight it bothers you. Buy and ENJOY! I have others with less wool but still snuggy warm and ware very well.

I've had this comforter for a year and the filling hasn't shifted. It feels like the wool fibers were formed loosely together in a kind of sheet. Not as tight as a blanket, but more like a batting. Definitely does not clump up or shift. The boxes hold the wool in place and there are no cold spots. The filling stays totally even. This is a very high quality comforter in my opinion. I love mine.

According to the booklet no lower than wool. I have only cotton clothing, but put it up to linen. Was hoping to stop spitting.

I have found it to be the same as using a regular iron. For cotton, use the high setting; if polyester you may try the middle setting first. I always use steam, it seems to add to the quality of the ironing job. I think you'll be happy with it.

I have used it for cashmere but don't really know about wool. It's pretty pricey and I wouldn't even buy it again for cashmere. I see no difference between it and the no chemical, no fragrance detergent (ALL Clear) I have used on sheepskin throws and other woolen items.

I have not....but I wouldn't try it unless you are willing to have it be ruined. Ever wash a wool sweater in the machine? The combination of water and friction causes the wool to "felt," which makes it shrink and get dense. Since the wool filling is inside a cotton cover, it seems that it would get enough friction to felt, and it's not like you can comb it out. You might be left with a lots-o-lumps comforter. And since the cover is 100% cotton that could shrink too. Also, the wool would soak up so much water and it could become so heavy it might damage your machine, or the water may never spin out and you could be left with a moldy mess. If you just want to freshen it up, hang it in the sun (if you are in an area that has sun this time of year!) or throw it in the dryer on extra low (if you have it) or fluff, and add a sachet of lavender, or a rag that has your favorite essential oils dripped on it. Try to avoid putting a dryer sheet in there, dryer sheets contain chemicals that can coat the fibers. If you had a spill or something, treat it like you would carpet with spot treating and a mild soap. Try to dab instead of scrubbing. Or look for a "green" dry cleaner such as Blue Sky. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer, but my experience with washing machine disasters has taught me caution!

I don't know but they are only going in the dryer so not sure why you would need to. Wool does tend to shrink so its your call

I use my Woolzies all of the time. I'm not sure what an HE washer has to do with it, since the Woozie is used in the dryer. The package says to use 2-3 of the Woolzie balls at the same time, but I only use one at a time and it works great for us. Most of our clothing is natural fabrics like cotton, but some contain nylon. I'd highly recommend the Woolzies dryer balls. I only wish I'd learned about them earlier. What a savings now that we don't have to buy dryer sheets. If you want scent, you can add essential oils to the balls AFTER the clothes are dried and on a cooler setting for about 5-10 minutes.

The fill is 95% cotton, the rest is Polyester. It is a lovely quilt though, and I was surprised to find that it is "shinny" like satin not very masculine if that is what you are looking for.

they have a variety in Buff. I'd read the descriptions to see the difference in material (some are moisture wicking, some to hold heat in). Sorry I can't be of more help but I bought the two I did for winter use. Having said that, I love my Buff and bought one for my brother for Christmas!

Depends upon the thickness or weight of the thermals. I've used under armor cold gear thermals, which didn't breath well due to their thickness. On the other hand my REI thermals breathed great but lacked warmth. From my experience merino wool provides a good in between.

It isn't made of wool, it might be made of cotton? It is thin and soft, I don't put any addtional covering on it before i use it.

I haven't used wool socks, but the thermal ones worked well on a daily basis. Hope this helps u!
