Why choose wool over other materials?

Nothing can compare to the warm hug of a wool blanket, while we sleep, we reed a book or we recover from a long day, while laying on the sofa!

Sleeping

We spend around one third of our lives  in bed. Scientific research has shown that wool bedding has proven natural attributes which can promote a better quality of sleep.

Wool bedding ensures consistent body temperatures leading to less restless nights for the sleeper. The unique thermal properties of wool retain warmth whist allowing the body to breathe, keeping you warm in winter and cool in the Summer and without the clamminess of synthetic material.

Only Wool has the ability to breathe and wick away moisture leading to increased deep sleep and also to conditions which inhibit the growth of allergy-causing bacteria.
Greater comfort leads to lower heart rates, less movement and calmer sleep.

The restorative properties of a good nights sleep affect the state of mind giving a more positive and creative outlook, and the physical health of the body as it repairs itself during the night.
A bed made with soft wool blankets and the best quality bed linen is a smart, safe and clean place to retreat from the world and feel comfort and protection.
