Avoid Harmful Chemicals with Snuggle Wool

Nature has a way of carelessly humiliating man’s most valued creations. Despite humanity’s best efforts to the contrary, “manufactured” does not always mean progress; and “synthetic” does not necessarily triumph over organic. Rittenhouse Industries knows this; hence, their wonder wool: Snuggle Wool.

Sheared from merino sheep, Snuggle Wool with organic cotton backing trounces its synthetic copycats. While man-made wool struggles to even attain a satisfactory level of comfort, let alone heat absorption and fire resistance, natural wool is breathable, hydroscopic, heat insulating, biodegradable and fire resistant. It can hold up to 30% of its weight in water before feeling damp. It isn’t itchy because it is made from keratin – the same substance of skin. It has incredible tensile strength. It naturally disinfects itself. And, according to research at Cambridge University and research reported in the British Medical Journal, Lancet and the Australian Medical Journal, helps babies – and parents – to sleep better.

But these are just the basic benefits. Pitted against their faux foes, Snuggle Wool products, such as baby buntings and blankets, offer a higher level of eco-friendliness and health benefits. In fact, they may offer the only health benefits.

Manufactured baby beds, buntings, mattresses, and other materials commonly contain hordes of hazardous chemicals. Beds are built with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a toxic carcinogen reputed to contribute to SIDS. Phthalates, chemicals responsible for asthma, cancer and reproductive defects, may make up 30% of the weight of a typical baby mattress. Also, baby buntings may contain a chemical fire retardant called pentaBDE, which is associated with hyperactivity disorders and neuro-behavioral alterations. There have even been cases where mattresses contain “shoddy” materials, such as trash swept off the floor and pig hair pads.

Scared? Should be. That’s why Snuggle Wool is such a fantastic product. Snuggle Wool doesn’t contain toxic petrochemicals, nor will it ever cause neurological disorders or SIDS. Natural,  Snuggle Wool is a safe and secure product, carefully sheared from sheep and then hygienically cleaned to eliminate any unwelcome bacteria. Non-hazardous chemicals are then added to the wool to allow frequent washing and drying – and that’s it. Simple.

White wool can “go green” as well. Snuggle Wool is an eco-friendly product. It respects animals life. No sheep are slaughtered; wool is cautiously removed during the proper season and does not harm sheep whatsoever. Also, Snuggle Wool is not difficult to dispose of. Merino sheep wool is naturally biodegradable, and, if left to compost or placed in a landfill, will not harm the environment. However, its synthetic siblings will either linger in a landfill for decades or, after incineration, exude their noxious fumes into the atmosphere.

The facts are clear. The status quo, characterized by mock imitations, cannot be tolerated. Animals must be respected; babies must be cared for; the environment must be saved; health must be a priority. The status quo is a menace, and the future demands better.

Enter, Snuggle Wool. As nature’s best, it trumps man’s finest. So be safe and be snuggly with Rittenhouse Industries’ Snuggle Wool.
