We've been hearing a lot about the antibacterial benefits of organic wool. It's easily treated with natural repellents like eucalyptus and chrysanthemum. Seems like the perfect material for hypoallergenic bedding. This set from Gaiam ranges from $69 to $289.

The wool is sheared from organic sheep and infused with a chemical-free mixture of lemon, lavender, and eucalyptus. To care for an organic wool mattress pad, have it dry-cleaned (by a green cleaner) once a year.

While you're at it, why not spring for a natural mattress? We bought a cotton/wool mattress from www.soaringheart.com about 5 months ago and I really dig it.

I have an organic "wool topper" from White Lotus Futons that I absolutely love. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Unfortunately, I was raving about it to someone on this site last month, then clicked the link and was chagrined to find that the price had gone up to several hundred dollars (maybe $400?)
I don't remember how much I paid but you can rest assured it was not $400!
So if this is something like that, at a more reasonable price, I highly recommend it.
