Commonly known for the natural features of comfort and quality, wool bedding products have also been proven to actually help you sleep better. The science of sleep: Research demonstrates that, under many conditions, people sleep better if some or all of their bedding products are made from wool. It is also scientifically proven to enable more restful sleep and can maintain your body as cool in summer and warm in winter.

In addition wool is also a highly breathable material and can absorbs moisture readily and has excellent desorption qualities (gets rid of moisture quickly) is able to transfer moisture away from the skin maintaining stable and optimum conditions while you rest or sleep allows for different temperature sleeping partners, and regulates your bodies temperature (after all it is designed to insulate mammals). Wool and goose down are excellent Insulators, they both trap lots of air creating a warm cushioning bubble around you, and are both petrochemical free. It has been scientifically proven that under most normal conditions people sleep deeper and better under wool. In order to achieve a good nights sleep humans need to ensure homeostasis (that is remaining at a stable temperature through the phases of sleep). Synthetic fabrics have also been proven to be incredibly damaging to our health and the health of our environment. Synthetic materials and fabrics quite simply do not have the properties that these natural materials and fibers do and have only ever been made to mimic what occurs in nature through natural design. There is a lot of scientific evidence that shows how it can improve the quality of your health and life through the quality of rest and sleep as well as the health of our planet. Why wool ? There is more to choosing to use wool and other natural materials. Most pests (moths, mice etc) don't like light so making a habit of opening shutters and blinds can prevent them from moving in. Dust regularly around hard to reach places, clean under the bed and use a warm soapy water to sponge down cupboards, mantelpieces and headboards etc.
Store soap or cedar blocks in cupboards to keep the air fresh and deter pests.
