In the case of the Woolroom REBURY WOOLY Mattress, wool is treated as sustainable, high quality, and practical. The wool used is “the very essence of the mattress,” as each bed comes with an individual code that traces the wool in your bed back to a British-based farm. Wool is only collected from farms that have been certified to comply with the UK social act of 2006.
The Woolroom had a few UK made certificates that I was familiar with – nothing like a crash course! Here’s what this trekkerk has to offer: Shepherd’s Crook certificate that confirms the wool used is authentic, British wool they follow; Woolmark certification that it is the REAL Real Rule and the purest version of wool out there; Allegy UK shows that it is resistant to allergens; and Bangor University’s Bio Composites certification, which shows that free compacts are flexible (kind of like getting GreenGuard gold certification here in the states).
In this hybrid mattress, on the side of the cover, the main elements are wool and a whopping 8,500 in the package on the other hand, micro, and integrated coils. Wool is like the jack-of-all-trades of the world, because it can be used for support, ventilation, cushioning, and even as a natural fire retardant. Specifically, the outer cover is made of meriano wool combined with a hand-stitched supper, which helps keep the top layer of wool in place.
It’s big and overwhelming
I received this mattress as a manufacturer’s sample for testing purposes. It was given to the management of my confidence, but I am a person who will fully analyze the total price and quality. For a handmade, luxurious mattress with a price tag to match, I hope the shipment matches that power. The Woolroom REBHY Woody Hybrid Mattress originates from Woolroom’s Greenville, South Carolina, factory. I got quick tracking information, until a truck dropped a box at my door. I was really surprised that the mattress – in-a-box, because, given the notes about the hand-built construction, I expected it to be completely integrated, like seeing the same with the same products as Saatva.
Regardless, I was able to quickly hit the mattress to allow myself time to wind down and catch my breath. Because of all the coils, this thing is heavy and requires two people to carry its weight. I highly encourage you to find a friend to help you through this process. However, the mattress did not take long to inflate once. The mattress I got was 11 inches, but Woolroom says yours might be 12 inches – kind of natural stuff, I think. But I still call this bed “the big fur bed,” because of how it looked in my studio.

I have trouble sticking to one sleeping position, and I lean toward mattresses with a bouncy feel to support me regardless of which one I choose. This is a so-called responsive mattress, and it is important in situations such as those that require constant support. Right now, I’m pretty much trying to be a side sleeper because of my lower back pain, and I chose the middle tension. “Uncomfortable” is the product’s term for the firmness of the mattress, and I wanted adequate cushioning for my shoulders and waist while maintaining adequate support for my spine. I usually go for a medium firm mattress when I’m testing coverage for responsiveness, pressure support, and lumbar support, but the Luxury Wooley only comes in two types: Medium and Firm. Woolroom rates the Medium as 7 out of 10 strong. If I had chosen durability, Woolroom Rated 8.5 out of 10.
