Benefits of Wool

Wool is nature’s own wonder fibre and has many inherent characteristics that cannot be reproduced by manmade fibres. A natural material, wool holds many characteristics that simply cannot be replicated in synthetic materials and it is these natural qualities that makes our blankets and throws the best choice for a perfect night's sleep, evening on the sofa, or picnic afternoon in the park.

Comfort

Wool helps the body to maintain a steady temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. 

Sleep

Sleeping under wool has been proven to improve sleep quality by up to 25 per cent.  Many of our blankets can be used as a cooler alternative to a duvet in the summer, and an extra layer on top of a duvet during winter.  The natural characteristics of wool absorb moisture, wicking it away from your body, helping to regulate temperature and minimise disruption to sleep.

Odour Control

The moisture absorbing properties of wool absorb sweat from the skin and halt the generation  of odour causing bacteria, keeping your bedding fresher for longer.

Dirt Repellent

The antistatic nature of wool reduces the attraction of lint and dust and the surface scales prevent dirt from penetrating the fibre surface.

Air Quality

Wool fibres absorb and hold on to indoor pollutants, improving air quality while you sleep.

Allergy and asthma friendly

Wool is naturally resistant to bacteria that can trigger allergic reactions, due to the protein composition of its fibres.  These fibres also absorb and hold on to indoor pollutants, and are repellent to lint, dust and dust mites, making a wool blanket the perfect accessory for those who live with asthma or allergies. Dust mites are a key trigger for Asthma attacks, they cannot survive on wool making it a perfect choice for asthma suffers.

Sustainability

Wool is a sustainable and fully renewable fibre with the animal producing a new fleece each year. It naturally biodegrades on land and in water, and as it’s protein-based, does not contribute to microplastic pollution. Wool also reduces waste to landfill as it decomposes naturally in soil, whilst slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.
