Are you tired of waking up hot and clammy in the summer, or feeling too cold and stuffy in the winter? If you're hunting for the ultimate sleep upgrade, it's time to stop obsessing over tog ratings and discover the natural joy of organic wool duvets.  More than just a cosy winter material, wool bedding is a revolution for restorative, all season sleep—and when it's organic, it's one of the most sustainable choices for your sleep set up you can make.

The transformative benefits of wool for your sleep 

Wool bedding is often called "nature's thermostat" for a reason. Its unique fibre structure provides benefits that synthetic and even down fillings simply can't match. 

1.  All season comfort: wool offers the ultimate temperature regulation 

This is wool's superpower! Unlike synthetic bedding that traps heat, wool fibres are crimped, creating millions of tiny air pockets. This natural structure acts as a micro-climate control system.  You'll stay warm in winter, thanks to the air pockets that trap your body heat, providing excellent insulation.  Wool also keeps you cool in the summer, as the fibres are highly breathable, allowing excess heat to escape. This means no more kicking the covers off, instead you get a consistently comfortable sleep environment, making a wool duvet the perfect year-round duvet.

2. Moisture-wicking magic: say goodbye to night sweats

Wool is naturally moisture-wicking, absorbing up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, essential for feeling dry through the night. If you suffer from night sweats, hot flushes (menopause relief is a key benefit!), or generally overheat, wool pulls that moisture (your sweat) away from your body, releasing it into the air, keeping you dry and comfortable all night long. 

3. Naturally hypoallergenic 

Struggling with sniffles and allergies?  Wool bedding is naturally hypoallergenic, and dust-mites, the cause of many allergies, really dislike it.  Dust mites thrive in warm, moist environments, but wool's dry, breathable nature creates a hostile environment for them.  Additionally, because our wool duvets are organic, and certified to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards) you can be sure they're crafted without harsh bleaches, toxic chemicals and dyes which can irritate skin and respiratory systems, making them an excellent choice for allergy sufferers, those with asthma, or sensitive skin.

4. A Reassuring and calming weight

Wool duvets have a satisfying, weighty feel that drapes beautifully over the body.  This comforting pressure can promote deeper relaxation, similar to a weighted blanket, helping to soothe you into a more peaceful, deep sleep.  If you're looking for fantastic heat and moisture managing fibres without the weight, then our camel hair or silk duvets would be perfect.

Why organic wool is the superior sustainable choice

Wool is a truly renewable resource. Sheep grow a new fleece every year, and shearing is an essential part of their welfare. Unlike synthetic bedding made from plastic and fossil fuels, wool is 100% biodegradable and won't shed microplastics into our waterways, an increasing concern with synthetic alternatives.  And, while all natural wool offers fantastic comfort, choosing GOTS certified wool duvets, elevates your bedding to the highest standards for your health, our planet and animal welfare.  

1. Made without toxins

Conventional wool processing can involve harsh chemicals to clean, bleach, or make the fibres machine washable.  Certified organic wool is strictly regulated to ensure: 

  • No toxic treatments: It is processed without the use of formaldehyde, chlorine-based bleaches, heavy metals, or toxic synthetic dyes.

  • Sensitive skin relief: non-organic wool fibres, when damaged by harsh processing, can feel brittle and cause irritation. Certified organic wool retains its natural softness and purity, making it ideal for sensitive skin and children.

2. Pure fibres for quality and performance

Organic standards protect the wool fibre’s natural structure, ensuring maximum performance and enhancing it's natural breathability.  Without chemical coatings or polymer treatments (like "Superwash"), the natural crimp and structure of the wool remain intact, allowing it to breathe and thermoregulate even more effectively. 

3. The highest animal welfare standards 

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification demands stringent ethical requirements that go far beyond basic welfare.  Practices like mulesing are strictly forbidden and sheep are allowed to graze freely on organic pasture free from synthetic pesticides and fertilisers.  They're not routinely fed antibiotics in their feed, but are given medicine when they're unwell.  

4. A Truly eco-friendly supply chain

Organic wool supports the planet from the farm to your bedroom:

  • Protected ecosystems: Organic farming practices avoid toxic pesticides and herbicides, protecting soil health, water purity, and local biodiversity.

  • Clean manufacturing: GOTS certification tracks the entire supply chain, ensuring that wastewater from cleaning and dyeing is treated, eliminating the release of harmful effluent into the environment.

Who needs wool bedding?

While everyone can benefit from a better night's sleep, wool bedding is particularly great for:

  • Couples: The temperature regulating quality means the duvet adapts to two different body temperatures—no more fighting over the covers!

  • Hot sleepers: Anyone who overheats or suffers from night sweats will find wool's moisture-wicking ability a revelation.

  • Allergy and asthma sufferers: The natural resistance to dust mites and mould makes for a cleaner, less irritating sleep environment.

  • Environmentally-conscious people: when eco-friendly bedding is a priority, organic wool is a great choice, both in it's production, longevity and it will completely biodegrade once you're finished with it. 

  • Anyone seeking a long-term investment: Wool's natural resilience means it maintains its structure and comfort for years, offering longevity and great value.
