By wicking moisture such as perspiration away from the skin (natural wool will absorb 1/3 of its weight in water before feeling wet!), effectively regulating a constant body temperature, and reducing the discomfort of pressure, shear, and friction, Shear Comfort Children’s Overlays are a proven* and trusted means of enhancing your child’s sleep.
