Are you thinking about buying a new quilt?
The best kind to buy is wool quilts. Not only do they have many benefits, they
are superior to other options, like polyester quilts. There are several reasons
why wool quilts are superior to polyester quilts, which you can read about
below.
Wool quilts are proven to be better for your
sleep
Sleep happens in a cycle consisting of 5
stages: light sleep, slightly deeper sleep, a transitory stage between light
and deep sleep, deep sleep that has restorative powers and cell regeneration,
and REM sleep. Discomfort can interrupt the cycle and result in you waking up
and experiencing a lesser quality of sleep. Wool quilts are comfortable and
scientifically proven to improve sleep quality by 25%!
Wool quilts can regulate temperature
Wool quilts are a great option as the fibres
can keep you at a steady temperature, keeping in warmth. They can also wick
away perspiration and other moisture and help you to cool down, while other
materials will trap moisture and create humidity that can make you warmer. Wool
is, to put it simply, far more adaptable to your temperature needs, which is
sure to help your sleep.
Wool quilts are hypoallergenic
Do you have allergies? Wool is a great option
for you, being hypoallergenic naturally—not to mention, the ability wool fibres
have to wick away moisture to leave a dry environment that discourages dust
mites, bacteria, and fungus.
Wool quilts are easier to clean
Washable wool
doonas and washable wool quilts
can be put through a washing machine for an easy clean. This is made possible
by the process we put our doonas and quilts through to ensure that the fibres
will be washing machine safe. This process has the added benefit of allowing
the fibres to more easily absorb moisture and VOCs (volatile organic
compounds), as well as thermoregulate.
Wool is better for the environment
Wool is biodegradable and renewable, which
makes it a far better option for the environment than synthetic fibres like
polyester.
Wool breaks down and doesn’t accumulate. It
also doesn’t need to be cleaned as often or as harshly as other materials; a
cold, less regular wash will still keep it in great condition. With its ability
to regulate temperature and its other properties, it is great for you and your
family and is environmentally responsible.
