Here's more info on pressing on wool. I have found it does make ironing go faster.

I also think if you wanted to make a homemade one, you'd be better off with either wool padding from a rug store, or old wool blankets, than you would be with wool batting. You'd have to do a lot of compression of a lot of layers of batting to get the desired results, I would think. I'd rather use wool batting in quilts.

Ironing pad wool
That is what I thought too. Also, I don't understand the wool craze. I don't own a wool pressing pad so I'm not qualified to offer an opinion on its value since what I've been taught is if something isn't pressing well, press on something hard not soft. Maybe someone could enlighten me on the value of wool.
