Problems solved by technology

This type of mattress has the disadvantage of the wool becoming matted with use, needing backcombing every two or three years to regain consistency.

Given that the rules are not always respected, this type of material has acquired an unmerited bad reputation.

All the types of mattresses described before have the inconvenience that the main piece, the resting base is not detachable due to it being manufactured as a unique part; on the other hand, all of these mattresses offer a continuous flat surface on the area where the body is supported, however, no matter how elastic it is, it will never entirely adapt to the body.
