Wool - Mother Nature's Technical Fiber
Wool. We use wool in most of our bedding products, because we think it is simply the best material available for sleeping. Down feels nice when you first tuck yourself in, and it will keep you toasty, sometime too toasty. Down needs to be encased in a non-breathable cover, so it cannot readily absorb moisture, which means once you start sweating you can go from hot to cold and damp very quickly.
Because wool is incredibly moisture wicking, is anti-microbial (bacteria does not like to grow in it) and is one of the most insulating fibers, many high-end athletic socks and t-shirts are now made from wool, or from wool blends. The benefits don't stop there however. Wool is hypo allergenic, and naturally flame retardant too.
Wool also has less direct impact on the environment than other bedding fills such as polyester, and is biodegradable.

Why Wool?
Wool is the only material that both absorbs and releases moisture efficiently thereby maintaining your body temperature comfortably. Wool has the following benefits as the insulation and fill in bedding products:
* Environmentally safe* Safe for children, pets, and seniors
* Durable
* Extremely comfortable
* No off-gassing
* Anti-microbial
* Moisture wicking
* Excellent insular properties
The other materials used in bedding are unable to provide you with the same benefits; polyester does not absorb sufficient moisture, neither do down or feathers. Cotton and polyurethane foam (including memory foam) absorb moisture but do not readily release it.
With these materials your body temperature is constantly shifting above and below 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which reduces sleep quality by causing restlessness. Reduced sleep quality can in turn lead to reduced performance of the immune system.
