from me

I wasn’t sure what to expect before I read the article. What was it going to suggest for bedding? Was it going to be against wool bedding? I was pleased to read the article and find it substantiated our choice of wool bedding.

When it comes to treating yourself to the best bedding possible – and thus the most optimal sleep experience – I fully recommend wool.

• Wool provides the perfect four-season comfort no matter where you live. That’s because wool is naturally thermo-regulating – it’s insulating in the cold, and cool and breathable when it’s warm.

With wool, you’re assured that you’ll never be too hot or too cold.

• Wool breathes naturally. When compared to other natural fibers as well as synthetics such as polyester, you’ll discover that wool offers unmatched breathability and comfort.
• Wool is hypoallergenic, so when encased in all-natural cotton coverings, people with even the most sensitive skin, including those with fibromyalgia, can enjoy the soothing benefits.
• Wool is a sustainable, ecologically-friendly resource. Unlike the impact of harvesting other natural bedding materials such as down, sheep continue to live long healthy, happy lives.
• Plus, since wool is naturally flame-resistant, you can always feel safe knowing that you and your loved ones will always be safe. Even if you hold a match to wool, it will self extinguish in moments.
• In addition, wool has an unmatched natural resilience – holding its crimp and loft longer than any other filling.
• And, since wool regulates your body’s temperature, you never sweat AND since it wicks away moisture and dries extremely quickly, it naturally doesn’t provide an environment for dust mites to live in.

The benefits of wool are wound up in its natural scientific properties…
