Mom and grandma always made their own covers and directly under the top was a layer of old wool blankets which was to wick the moisture thru according to them. Have done the same in the past myself and was always happy with the set up. Now no more left over blankets so was wondering about trying to find an old wool coat that I could felt and use. If you're talking about a small mat you should easily be able to find a large wool blazer (light color) that would enough for a small pressing mat.--- Went surfing on line, they do sell Pricey wool but mixed in quite liberally are ones that are cotton -- read carefully. Wonder if 100% wool felt is still available off the bolt? Most felt these days is a blend if you read the end cap. Will be watching what others have to say.
