Wool , under , over and in between …
People lose a tremendous amount of water during the day – up to two pints . Much of this is lost in subtle perspiration and transpiration during the night when we sleep . As wool is hygroscopic , this moisture will be absorbed by the fibre – wool can absorb up to 30 percent of its own weight in water – and then will be released into the atmosphere , keeping your bed and bedding fresh and healthy .

Duvets , bed toppers , blankets and even pillows complete the wool sleep experience . While manmade and other types of bedding have the tog rating , wool does not . Ultimately the tog rating is what people have used to help choose a lighter or warmer duvet . As wool is not a passive fibre but one that will act in response to the user , the tog rating is unnecessary . Another difference is that wool , which has incredible ability to resist pressure in a mattress , can be less lofty or full in a duvet than what people are traditionally used to . This actually lends more side drape and a neater overall look to the bed and room .
The beauty of wool for sleep is that it is perfect for everyone , from babies and children to adults . Anybody who shares a bed will also find that wool will work to suit each sleeper individually and so make the bed a more pleasant place for both .
Enjoy a better standard of sleep … choose wool — sheep dreams ! �
