Is it ok to sleep on a wool mattress if I was allergic to wool as a young child?

As a young child I was allergic to the world. From flowers to sheep and even most soaps. I have outgrown most allergies (or they are less severe) and can now take things such as walking near flowers without needing to be rushed to the hospital. On the other hand, some things have lessened but are still quite bad (such as fresh cut lawns). I had a real allergy towards wool (in other words, I didn't just get hives from wool but I would have a full on asthma attack) yet I want to buy an organic mattress. I have been looking at Abaca since I am moving to Europe but they have a ton of wool wrapped around cotton. I assume this keeps the bed from being so itchy. Is organic wool different? Will I have less of a reaction to organic wool thats covered by organic cotton?

I would be very wary, allergies can come and go, I would think there are other materials that may suit your needs. Good luck.
Reply:i wouldn't try it!
Reply:I am not allergic to anything. Its just nature who prepares you to enter the same prblem in life. I would not sleep in floor w/o any cover on that place but I could sleep even if yhet is made from wools. I suugest you not to sleep on that kind of wool because it feels itchy and i'm sure you'll have nightmares. Never!
Reply:Organic wool is the closest you are gonna get to wool. I would suggest trying to go near wool at a fabric store if you start to itch or break out with bumps, I would say it would be nightmares you would be having on a wool mattress.
