Passive Fire Protection

Information
Merino Wool is a superior fabric for your next baby sleeping bag and I am going to give you 4 reasons why I think that. First of all, and this isn't one of the four, is merino wool is the Cadillac of materials for your next baby sleep sack. It wasn't till the 18th century that the valued merino sheep started to gain popularity when they were given as gifts from the king of Spain to their cousins in other countries that then they discovered the wonders of this amazing fabric.
Lightweight Insulation
The fibers have small scales that make it so air is harder to pass through making it better insulation. It also has air spaces in it making it incredibly light weight.
Allergy Safe
Most wools have a bad misconception that they are scratchy and uncomfortable. Some people think that it is due to allergies. It is not due to allergies or is it specific to wool. It is due to the fibers in the fabric not bending when they contact the skin. Fine Australian wools. like Merino wool, have superfine fibers and a silky outer layer that make it feel super soft and itch free. This is especially good for babies with eczema, allergies and sensitive skin.
Naturally Fire Resistant
It may be hard to realize that wool is naturally fire resistant, but it is! If a fire is to strike the fabric the chemicals react with combustible gases and tars normally generated by the material. The tars are converted to carbon char which forms on the surface, slowing the burning rate . The combustible gases are rendered nonflammable for the most part due to dilution with harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor released in the reaction. This happens automatically, driven by the heat of the fire, and requires no coating maintenance, batteries, or plumbing; it is true passive protection.Synthetic materials often require extra chemicals to make them fire retardant and who wants unnecessary chemicals next to their baby?
Ability to Regulate Temperature
Using Merino wool for your baby sleeping bag creates the perfect micro-climate for your baby. It is so amazing that it will release heat and moisture into the air if the room temperature rises and it will trap the air in the sleep sack if the temperature in the room lowers. Can you believe that this all happens naturally?
One thing we didn't talk about yet is cost. This fabric can get rather expensive but I believe that it is worth it. All of these benefits that I talked about before all happen naturally. I think this is absolutely amazing! I only talked about 4 of the benefits of this amazing fabric and there are many more.
Hi my name is Mark. I live in a small town here in the great state of Iowa. No that's not Idaho and we are not the great potato state. We grow corn and soybeans but that's not the point here. I really like the idea of the baby sleeping bag and good thing for me is that it just isn't an idea but a reality. Your Baby Sleep Sack is going to keep your child warm in the winter time and give him a sense of being swaddled in the summer time with a light sack. I don't sell baby sleeping bags I just write about them. I hope you enjoy my articles.
