Wool is a natural material that has been valued for centuries for its ability to create comfortable and supportive bedding. Recent research highlights the specific scientific reasons behind wool's effectiveness in promoting restful, healthy sleep.
Stay warm (or cool)
Keeping a stable body temperature is essential for deep sleep. So, the thing we love about wool is its ability to regulate body temperature, keeping you comfortable whether it’s hot or cold. This lies in wool’s unique fibre structure. It's made up of tiny scales that trap air, creating cosy pockets of warmth designed to insulate your body when temperatures drop. On the flip side, when the heat rises, wool works by allowing fresh air to flow through, releasing excess heat and moisture.
Keeps you dry and comfy
Wool has an impressive knack for wicking away moisture. It can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. It does this by drawing sweat away from your skin and into the fibres, where it can evaporate. Perfect for those who experience night sweats or sudden temperature changes, wool keeps you dry. As a bonus, wool also reduces the buildup of odour-causing bacteria thanks to its natural lanolin which has antimicrobial properties that help keep the fibres fresh.
A friend to sensitive sleepers
Wool is particularly great for those with sensitivities like asthma, eczema, or seasonal allergies. Due to its tight, lanolin-rich structure, wool resists the accumulation of dust, dirt and allergens. This natural property prevents dust mites from thriving within the fibres, minimising allergic reactions and skin irritations.
Love for the planet
Choosing wool bedding is also better for the planet. Wool is a natural, renewable resource that is biodegradable, meaning it won't sit in landfill for decades unlike some other fibres. This makes wool a healthier choice not just for you, but for the environment as well.
For those seeking an improved sleep experience—whether due to temperature control, allergies, or the need for better overall sleep quality—wool is a natural solution that can enhance the quality of your sleep to give you a good night’s rest.
