The Benefits of Wool

Sleep More Soundly

Studies show that people sleeping with wool bedding have a lower heart rate, less sleep disturbance, and increased duration of beneficial REM sleep. Wool Thermo-Regulates and is remarkably comfortable in all seasons. In the winter it warms you without overheating or causing ‘clamminess’. Conversely, in warmer seasons, it actually helps to keep you cool by wicking moisture away from your skin. This capability makes wool the ideal fiber for bedding as it helps your body to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the night — regardless of the season. Wool bedding is especially helpful for those who experience night-sweats or hot flashes. It is the most effective when the entire bed is made of natural, breathable fibers.

Reduces Common Bedroom Allergens

Wool is naturally dust-mite, mold and mildew resistant. Wool quickly absorbs and releases moisture and thus does not allow the damp conditions that dust-mites and molds thrive on. Other fibers, such as down and cotton, do not readily release moisture. Since dust-mites require moisture to survive, they don’t prefer wool.

Naturally Fire-Resistant

The protective lanolin coating found in wool makes it naturally resistant to combustion. Wool bedding is able to pass flame tests without the use of added chemicals.

Wool Bedding is Comfortable and Soothing

Wool mattress pads and toppers provide relief from painful pressure points as you rest. People suffering from chronic pain such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and bed-sores often find comfort with wool.

Wool Batting Does Not Shift

The coiled, textured wool fibers grab onto each other forming a stable matrix. Thus wool won’t leave bare spots like down when used in bedding.
