- Wool is a nurturing, natural, hollow fibre that provides a soft cushioning
layer for comfort. The air confined within the fibre acts as an insulator, keeping
people cozy in the winter and cool in the summer.
- Wool is the only natural fibre that can absorb up to 30 - 40% of its weight in
moisture, without feeling damp.
- Wool’s hollow fibre promotes air circulation and prevents bacterial
growth.
- Wool is flame resistant and will not melt.
It is not surprising that both woodworkers and fishermen wear their wool sweaters
year-round.
Sleeping on Wool:
Every person loses an average of 1 litre of moisture every night due to perspiration.
Wool absorbs this moisture and releases it during the day, providing a warm,
dry, and inviting environment every night. This allows people to maintain their
normal body temperatures, and offers them a comfortable and refreshing sleep.
On the other hand, polyester, foam, and cotton make people perspire more than
average. Cold night air dries this moisture on their bodies, making them feel
chilled. This results in a restless sleep, so they wake up feeling exhausted
and sore.
The differences between down and wool are that wool absorbs water, while down
repels it, and wool retains more heat.
Wool soothes medical conditions because:
Wool remains dry, offering arthritic patients who are troubled by dampness
comfort, and preventing aches that are caused by damp surroundings.
Wool’s absorbent hollow fibre prevents bedsores by absorbing moisture
and offering a cushioning layer of comfort. The fibre also promotes airflow,
preventing the bacterial growth that causes skin disorders.
Wool retains heat, promoting blood circulation and relieving the pressure
areas that often trouble diabetics.
Sleeping on Wool. Provides the only environment that allows your body to
sleep comfortable every night at its own body temperature for a better, more
refreshing sleep.
