A Fogarty guide to how wool wins the race of the natural duvet fillings.

Wool breathes with your body...

While you’re sleeping, your body can lose, on average, a litre of moisture. Wool’s natural ability to wick moisture away from your skin allows your body to maintain a constant, comfortable temperature and helps to eliminate sleep disturbances.

Wool keeps you at a comfortable temperature...

Due to its natural “breathing” ability, wool is able to help ensure that you are neither too hot nor too cold in your bed. Wool is a great insulator, so it traps your body heat when the temperatures are lower. However, it also has a natural breathability to it that helps keep you cool in the summer months.

Wool is resistant to mildew...

Because wool is able to absorb and release moisture levels, it creates an environment which is inhospitable to mildew. This can cause other fibres to become musty after a short while which limits their lifespan.

Wool manages moisture...

Wool’s ability to absorb and then release your body’s natural moisture creates an inhospitable atmosphere for any bed bugs, dust mites, etc. that wish to make a home in your bed.

Wool is durable...

The structure of wool fibres means that they can be squashed and stretched to a certain degree and they will return back to their original shape. When you buy a wool duvet, you can rest easy knowing that you won’t have to purchase another duvet for quite some time.
