The Health Benefits of Sleeping under Wool

• Enhanced REM sleep
• Micro-climate control: Wool regulates your body temperature keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. A steady temperature also leads to a more restful sleep. 
• Breathable and moisture-wicking: It allows moisture and air to flow through it, making it particularly ideal for people with conditions such as asthma and eczema. 
• Hypoallergenic: Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and is perfect for anyone with allergies or sensitivities, minimising allergens and irritants for healthier sleep. 
• Improved air quality: Wool fibres naturally absorb and hold on to various indoor pollutants, improving the quality of the air in your room and home while you sleep. 
• Antimicrobial: Due to its protein composition and unique surface scale structure on which bacteria are unable to survive. So you can sleep in the comfort it’s fresh and clean. 
• Superior comfort: Wool has a unique spring-like fibre structure. The natural crimp offers excellent support and relief from bed sores and other conditions. 
• Improved sleep satisfaction.
