A fabric that is adored by all and keeps warm and cozy, providing you a night of restful sleep, can you guess it? Not yet. Let us give you a hint. The fabric is close to nature, and most of us adore the specie from which it comes. Now you probably know the answer. It is wool that is being talked about. Tell us a better fabric that will provide you with softness and warmth that you cannot let go of easily. Good luck with the hunt!
Wool has been a savior for the textile industry for decades. It is considered to be ideal for bedding filling. The properties it possesses, not only provide you with a night of comfortable sleep but are also skin-friendly and regulate your body temperature. Still in confusion? Let us dig into the details as to whether you should invest in wool bedding or not:
“Hypoallergenic”
Do you know what percentage of the population has an allergic disease? You will be in shock to know. More than 19% of Aussies. Different causes are to be seen for the reactions and one of them is the bedding material you sleep on. There have been widespread rumors about wool, that it is not friendly to the skin and gives allergies. It is one of the main reasons people do not prefer wool for their bedding. However, if you look closely, the allergic reaction is caused by non-organic wool. Whereas, if you buy yourself organic wool bedding, you will be awe-struck by its softness and hypoallergenic properties that ensure your skin is safe and sound.
Therefore, the myth about wool being harmful to the skin just shattered.
“Temperature Regulating Properties”
You might often find yourself in a sweatbox at night in summers or a cool bank in winter, while you are sleeping. Do you know why that happens? It is because the bedding that you have provided yourself to sleep on is not right for you as it possesses the qualities of absorption and does not possess breathability. Ventilation is significant for your body to relax rather than getting tensed. The worldly headaches are enough to keep us under stress. Our sleep should not be compromised at any cost. Rather our sleep should be a stress reliever for us, not an add-on to it. With so many fabrics possessing the quality of regulating body temperature to what is required, wool is one of them.
The wool bedding takes care of you the same it does for a sheep when attached to it. You will notice how changing your bedding to organic wool makes a difference in your sleep. You will sleep better and achieve the level of comfort your body has been longing for.
“Durability and Longevity”
Wool provides a stance that is well enough for you to invest in it. It is durable and will stay with you, providing you with similar comfort for years to come. Some of you might be wondering why wool is often seen being sent back to the mill. Well, the following sentence will counter this concern as wool will come out as new as it was when you bought it. The point is that wool can be reused. It indicates that wool is environmentally friendly, and you do not have to waste it. It is not something to be thrown away. It can be of the same shape again.
“Animal Welfare?”
It is a significant question and must have crossed your mind a couple of times. Well, if seen without a reason, then the question might seem to be rightly taken as it drew a picture of hurting animals. However, when you dig deeper, you will know that harvesting wool is actually for the well-being of sheep. It is done painlessly. The sheep are well-taken care of. They are provided with organic feed and are given a large space to roam around and live freely.
