Wool mattress pads -- will they trigger a lanolin sensitivity?

[phoenix]

Hi iheartpandas,

Results (after 2 nights): I’m sleeping a little bit cooler, but I’m still warmer than I would like to be. I don’t wake up drenched in sweat, but I’m still waking up warm, scooting to a cooler side of the bed, then warming up again and scooting back to a cooler spot. My boyfriend and I tried sleeping separately to eliminate his heat production as a factor, and I’m still sleeping hot.

Outside of more “active” temperature regulation products such as the Chilipad you mentioned … this may be the “best possible” solution with a memory foam mattress for some people that are more towards the “oven” end of the “oven to iceberg” range of sleeping temperature.

Some other suggestions that can also be helpful in some cases are the type of mattress protector or the sheets and bedding you are using (see post #2 here about tracking down issues with sleeping temperature).

I’m doubtful that pegboard under the mattress will have a significant effect since the warmer air would have to go through too many foam layers to reach the pegboard but personal experience always “trumps” theory so there certainly isn’t any harm in trying it.
