Benefits Of Wool

Embrace Comfort and Sustainability with Natural Wool Bedding

Are you new to the idea of wool bedding? You may be wondering what the benefits are, sleeping with wool. This wonderful natural fibre has been highly prized for thousands of years and there are good reasons why. If you’re looking for something which is 100% natural, 100% biodegradable, 100% renewable, wool is the perfect choice for you.

Herdysleep natural wool bedding has been designed to give you maximum comfort with minimum impact on the planet. Handmade in Britain, our duvets and protectors contain our specially developed Wonderwool™, produced by a unique process to create a multi layered pad with a luxurious loft. We only use 100% British wool in our bedding, specially selected for its suitability and performance, to give you a great night’s sleep.

Hypoallergenic & Antibacterial

Wool, as opposed to synthetic materials, helps to regulate your body temperature. Wool also efficiently wicks away moisture lost during sleep to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the night. This makes wool the perfect choice for people with allergies, eczema or asthma because it creates a dry, dust mite resistant environment. Wool is also hypoallergenic and antibacterial and naturally inhibits the growth of mould, mildew and bacteria. This reduces the common triggers that create allergic reactions or skin irritations, allowing you to enjoy a restful night’s sleep and wake up refreshed and ready to face the day.

Natural Insulation

One of the standout features of wool is its ability to act as a natural insulator. The crinkles in the fibres trap air to naturally insulate, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Whether you're snuggling under a duvet during the winter chill or looking for a breathable option in the summertime, wool has you covered (literally).

Highly Absorbent

Wool wicks away moisture from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the night. Wool can absorb 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, so no more waking up feeling clammy or uncomfortable – wool helps maintain the ideal sleep environment.

Breathable

Nobody likes feeling stuffy under the sheets, especially on a warm summer night. Wool's natural breathability ensures that air can circulate freely, regulating your body temperature and preventing overheating. It's a perfect choice for those who want to enjoy a cool, comfortable night's sleep during the summer months.

Naturally Flame-Resistant

Safety is paramount, and wool comes with a unique feature that sets it apart from many other bedding materials – it's naturally flame retardant. This inherent property means we don’t need to add chemicals to achieve the required fire rating, making wool a heathier choice for bedding.
