Is the wool filler enclosed in each box or allowed to shift (creating cold spots)?

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.

I use warm sometimes and cold sometimes. I even put them in the dryer on medium. No problems.

I mainly use my coasters with cold and noticed that the water pooling did cause some damage. It seems hot might cause an indent or melt. :-/

no that's not normal, but I've had that happen with other brands. it's possible the powder package wasn't sealed good. I would believe the product would be fine to use unless the outer box was damaged.

Actually...I don't agree. Wool has a special quality--it is breathable. If you are going to Norway in winter and your guide advised you to gear up with all wool clothing, I would take heed. I highly recommend that you do so. I have spent winters working in Antarctica and the program issues wool socks to employees because wool cannot be beat for performance in cold/wet conditions. Not only does wool breathe, if it gets wet it continues to keep you warm. So, if you sweat you won't get cold. With any other fabric that is not the case. Nothing can replace a good pair of wool socks. And Darn Tough socks are top-of-the-line wool socks. I highly recommend you get a pair (or five!) before you go to Norway for the winter. You won't regret it. (p.s. i am in no way affiliated with DT socks, i'm just a sock aficionado who knows how hard it is to find good socks).

Wish I could tell you, only have done cold items. Would imagine it would work though

Hello Mira, Thanks for your interest in our products. As principle, we, at Bio Sleep Concept are using only "All Natural" and "Organic" components for our final products. In the case of the 3" Wool Topper, the cover is made out of 100% certified organic cotton cover, filled with Eco Valley pure wool. There is no spray of any kind on any of our products. What may happen, as the wool is totally pure and natural, is that the first few days after receiving the topper, you may smell the wool. This odor disappears very quickly. We receive the batch of wool from our North West growers and we card it in our shop. If the wool is very fresh, the smell may be more obvious for a small while. To finish, all of our products are chemical free and are never sprayed of anything. Please, do not hesitate to contact us for any more questions on our products. Sincerely, CM

Yes, we have one on polystyrene with a wool sweater and it's great. It's in a little shelter outside (like a dog house) and the half-feral cat who lives there loves it! No problems at all. It doesn't get too hot. It's on a timer to go on in the evening and off in the a.m., unless it's really cold. A very good and very helpful product.

No, I have not noticed this at all. I use it regularly, but mostly with cold items so far. Thanks.

The "wool" is attached to a fairly hard backing that I use by itself with no disk behind it. You do want it to flex a bit as you use it.

none at all. I have a little hook on it to keep it closed for the winter but I never had issues without using one. I like this box and it seems sturdy and functional.

I have an original one of these, 100% wool and I put it in the washer constantly on gentle cycle, cool water! hang to dry. I got rid of the "oily" smell in one wash. I wash ALL my woolens, even my cashmere, in an appropriate soap for woolens. They come out beautifully! Dry cleaner fluid damages wool. Wool is from sheep, they stand out all day in the rain...the only thing you should not do with wool is heat or high agitation, which will felt the wool. BTW, my seller told me there was no order as well, they must not have a nose on their faces, the odor is overwhelming right out of the box!

This is my first wool blanket. It doesn't bother me at all. The smell will need to be addressed. I hand washed and hung outside for 2 days. Smell is gone.

Hello! If you are talking about the foam that you can see when you look inside from the front of the unit, no, that belongs in there. I wondered the same thing when I first noticed it since it looks almost like packing material! Leave it in, plug it in, and cool down! I bought the Arctic King last year and I love it. I hope this helps!

These are called "Wellco Extreme Cold Weather Muckluck". In the "product description" it says, "wool liners are also available". Contact Wellco from that page.

The wool pad is actually an envelope so if you cut it you will ruin the envelope, but you don't really need the envelope anyway. Also it is not really a cushion. It does not provide padding only a wool surface that is supposed to be good for skin in danger of breaking down. I think it should be used with a an air cushion or something like that.

Not that I have ever noticed. My wool comforter is far better than any synthetic (and most down) comforters I have ever had.
