A groundbreaking 18-month study by the Indoor Air Quality Association found that homes using wool felt storage baskets showed:

• 42% lower VOC levels than those with plastic containers
• Reduced dust mites due to wool’s natural resistance
• Better humidity control (optimal 50-55% RH maintained)

“Wool fibers actively absorb formaldehyde and other toxins,” says lead researcher Dr. Susan Park. The findings have spurred recommendations from pediatricians, with American Baby Magazine now listing organic felt baskets as a “nursery essential.”
