Whether it’s getting little ones to sleep, maintaining the right temperature or encouraging them to sleep through the night, we’ve all been there! But can a natural wool mattress and bedding really help your little one sleep?
Wool is the only completely natural, sustainable, and renewable bedding fibre. It contributes to a better night’s sleep through its hypoallergenic, temperature regulating and moisture wicking properties. Best of all it requires no chemical to make it fire resistant, as the natural nitrogen found in wool is nature’s very own fire retardant.
In comparison, synthetic materials used in a memory foam mattress, or polyester bedding require air ventilating moulds and fibres to be woven in to allow air to flow. This doesn’t provide true breathability however. And it lacks the moisture absorbing ability that natural fibres have, which can cause the body to overheat and sweat. An average memory foam mattress can raise the temperature of the sleeping area to around 30C, 10-14 degrees hotter than the recommended temperature for sleep.
The Woolroom, partnering with British Wool and Allergy UK are proud to provide the first 100% natural wool bedding, that is 100% washable, traceable and certified hypoallergenic by Allergy UK. You can now sleep easy knowing your little one is sleeping in the purest of environments, free from synthetics and harmful chemicals and with the world’s first organic washable wool bedding range also have GOTS certified organic bedding too with all the practicality!
Plus the dedicated Wool ID programme, in partnership with British Wool, allows you to fully trace your little ones wool bedding back to the exact farm the bedding has come from, all with a simple QR code.
