TO PLAY 2,632 consecutive games of baseball takes its toll. That’s why Cal Ripken is relieved he has discovered the wool underlay. Baseball’s Mr Durable discovered the wool underlay during a trip Down Under to Australia in 2004 after meeting former Australian Rules Footballer Barry Young. Within weeks of placing it on his bed, he was sleeping better than ever and the back he so carefully managed during his career had never been in better shape.

Ripken discovered Australian wool was already legendary in status in Australia and formed a partnership as good as any during his career. The Cal Ripken underlay brings two legends together.
