Testing a mattress made from organic wool can be an interesting experience, but it wasn't without its challenges. The Woolroom Luxury Wooly hybrid mattress, which is made from over 8,500 individually pocketed coils and features a whopping 11 inches of wool, was the subject of my testing.
At first glance, the mattress's hand-tufted surface and luxurious feel may lead one to believe it's a high-end option, but upon closer inspection, I found that it comes with some trade-offs. The wool used in this mattress is indeed sustainable and comes from British farms verified by the UK Animal Welfare Act of 2006, but its processing also leaves behind a distinct barnyard smell.
The Luxury Wooly mattress excels in terms of edge support and motion isolation due to its dense coil structure and natural wool materials. I was pleased to find that it offered good pressure relief for my back, which is often a sore spot when sleeping on firmer mattresses. The medium-firm tension worked well for me, but firm option-seekers might need to opt for the Deluxe model.
However, there's one major drawback: the off-gassing of natural wool can be overwhelming, especially for those who are sensitive to strong odors. This smell should dissipate over time, but it's essential for potential buyers to consider this aspect before making a purchase.
In terms of overall value and quality, I found the Woolroom Luxury Wooly mattress to be captivating, particularly for heavier sleepers weighing 170 pounds or more. Its natural wool materials and coil structure promote full-body support and even weight distribution, but may not provide the same level of pressure relief that other mattresses do.
While this mattress isn't perfect, its commitment to sustainability and organic materials makes it a standout in the market. With some fine-tuning and attention to smell reduction, I believe Woolroom has a winner on their hands – one that will continue to attract environmentally-conscious consumers looking for a high-quality, natural sleeping solution.

at first i was skeptical cuz of the barnyard smell but its def worth it 4 the price & sustainability id say go 4 the medium firm model tho its perf 4 back pain 2
But yeah, those barnyard smells can be a major turn-off... I mean, I get that it's supposed to dissipate over time, but some people might not wanna wait around for that. I've had friends who are super sensitive to strong smells and they'd freak out if they knew their new mattress was giving off some pretty potent stuff 
.
. Overall, I think Woolroom has definitely got something special here! 
IT'S SO FLUFFY AND SUPPORTIVE, I FEEL LIKE I'M SLEEPING ON A CLOUD! 
BUT, I HAVE TO SAY, THE OFF-GASSING ISSUE IS KIND OF A Bummer. I MEAN, WHO WANTS TO STINK UP THEIR BEDROOM FOR WEEKS?!? 
this eco-friendly mattress is like my old mate: comfy but with a weird stink 
And the smell, man... I mean, I get the whole organic thing, but barnyard vibes are not my fave 
. But you know what really got me? They're selling this mattress as a luxury option 
, and the only reason is because of that bloody wool 
. If they'd just made it out of, like, normal materials or something, I'm sure it would've been a more solid review 
its so comfy but also kinda funky cuz of the barnyard smell 
thats my only con tho but like they say sustainability is key lol! 
And I've had some bad experiences with sheep... are their farms just like, really happy places for the animals? 
! is it normal for the keyboard to be kinda sticky? i mean, i'm not complaining or anything 
and I gotta say, it's got some cool perks... but the smell 
. But hey, at least it's natural and organic, so that's a win for the environment 
.
, especially if you're heavier than me (170 pounds) 
and motion isolation 
, which means you won't feel your partner moving around in the night 
.
, but it's definitely a consideration when buying this mattress 
. Still, if you're into natural and sustainable materials, this might be the one for you 
but like there is this major issue with the off-gassing of natural wool 
but overall i think its a win-win for eco-warriors who care about their mattresses
