Wool Bedding – The Facts

<< Previous Page

Wool bedding provides a more comfortable sleeping environment than more common synthetic bedding and therefore enables you to sleep for longer.

What makes wool bedding unique is its natural ability to ‘breathe’, this enables it to maintain your body’s own ‘ideal’ sleeping temperature, by keeping you cooler when it is hot and warmer when it is not.

The key secret to wool bedding’s success is found in its fibres. Unlike synthetic materials, wool bedding can actually absorb moisture away from your skin, which allows you to stay cooler and drier, with a more constant body temperature throughout the night. By maintaining your body at more constant temperature wool bedding ensures that you get a more relaxed and restful nights sleep and therefore wake-up calm, stress free and invigorated for the day ahead.

The natural moisture control found in wool bedding also means that it is naturally bacteria inhibiting. Traditional bedding has very little moisture management properties and therefore moisture will sit on the fibres creating warm, dark, damp conditions, which are ideal conditions for mites to bread. Wool bedding absorbs excess moisture vapour into its fibres before releasing it into the surrounding environment, therefore reducing the conditions required for the life cycle of the mite.
