Welcome back to Wool
Firemen wear wool uniforms because of the insulation and non-melt properties. Wool is now being used for high performance sportswear due to its excellent wicking qualities: drawing moisture away from the skin to cool you down. Hospitals have used wool blankets for years because of their temperature regulating abilities that ease the aches and pains of rheumatism and arthritis.
Wool is also extremely environmentally friendly: it’s biodegradable, recyclable, and from a renewable source. Keep a sheep in work: welcome back to wool!
The science behind wool's suitability for bedding is simple. Wool allows water molecules, in the atmosphere and produced by your body, to move freely. That makes for the ultimate nights sleep. If you are hot, the wool fibres help regulate your body temperature while you sleep - creating your very own microclimate. When you are cold, the same principle ensures the microclimate is exactly where your body wants it. Imagine that - no more waking up cold searching for an extra layer, or overheating in the summer - perfect all year round.
Life is full and busy. To maintain any hectic lifestyle, you consistently need a good night's sleep.
8 reasons why you need a PeaceTogether wool duvet:
Natural Wool Duvet
You think it will be too hot? Think again. Wool has self regulating properties that keep the sheep warm in winter, cool in summer – that’s what nature designed it to do. A perfect insulation material, pure wool breathes better than synthetic bedding, improves the quality of your sleep, is anti allergenic, and can reduce skin irritation problems. It’s also gorgeously snuggly and comfortable!
Better Quality Sleep
Scientifically tested with other pure wool bedding, our wool duvets will slow your pulse rate: a sign of deeper relaxation. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep duration is increased – this is when you dream – and wool creates a microclimate of regulated moisture and temperature, leading to a high degree of what’s known as thermophysical comfort. That means you get a better, more relaxed night’s sleep and awaken refreshed, ready for a new day.
Regulates Temperature
It’s like having computerised bedding – but it’s all done by nature. Wool absorbs up to 50% more moisture than synthetics, so the perspiration a sleeper always produces is held away from the body, instead of making you feel hot and clammy. This moisture is absorbed and released in cycles throughout the night as conditions change, regulating temperature so you’re always comfortable.
Shrink Resistant
Our lovely Natural Wool Duvet are filled with sterilised wool that’s shrink resistant and fire retardant. Because it’s scoured, the protein in the wool is removed, and this makes it unattractive to those dreaded dust mites. The bedding can be hand or machine washed, although we recommend dry cleaning for best results.
Wool is the natural fibre that neither man nor science can match for versatility, practicality and superiority. Wool breathes with your body providing warmth during winter, while absorbing your body's moisture during summer.
A Healthier Way to Sleep
Comfort is a determining factor in a good sleep pattern. During sleep our body temperature will vary and although there is no ideal sleep temperature, a woollen product will absorb moisture and dissipate it into the air so that your body doesn't feel so hot and clammy during summer months. Wool fibres will also trap and retain warm air during winter months keeping you warmer for longer.
Wool is Value for Money
Wool keeps its good appearance through years of wear and regular cleaning. The natural 'high bulk' crimp of wool specifically used for bedware provides resilience to compression offering many years of service, not only in performance but in looks as well. For performance measured over years, wool products are low in cost and therefore excellent value.
Wool is Naturally Flame Resistant
Wool is renowned for its fire safety. It's difficult to ignite, does not spread flames easily and has self-extinguishing properties.
Wool is Easy to Care for
Wool can be safely dry-cleaned by reputable dry-cleaners.
