Sleep Like a Princess on a Wool Underlay

We’ve all heard the fairy tale about the Princess and the Pea and how the Princess found it difficult to sleep because of a pea placed under her mattress. Perhaps you’ve experienced similar sleepless nights and put it down to an uncomfortable mattress?

We have an easy way to solve sleeping issues that doesn’t involve piling mattress upon mattress in the hope that you’ll feel more comfortable. In fact, it doesn’t even mean changing your mattress. You simply need to invest in a wool underlay!

Why a woollen underlay could make the difference between a good and bad night’s sleep

To understand why a woollen underlay will help you to have a good night’s sleep, we need to look at the properties of wool.

As we all know, wool comes from sheep, and it’s been designed by nature to keep them warm and dry in bad weather and cool and dry during the warmer months. When the wool is removed from the sheep and made into woollen bedding or garments, it retains these properties. This means that it will keep us warm and dry when it’s cold, and cool and dry when it’s warm by regulating your body temperature. It helps you to retain your natural body heat when the temperatures dip. When you’re warm and start to perspire, the woollen fibres absorb the moisture and then release it into the air. This keeps you cool and dry.

What’s more, it’s naturally hypoallergenic. Therefore, if you suffer from allergies, wool is a great choice for an underlay. Its ability to release moisture into the air also means that it doesn’t create the kind of moist, humid environment that dust mites absolutely love. So, there’ll be fewer dust mites and other allergens around to set off any allergic reactions.

So, sleeping on an underlay made of wool is going to keep you more comfortable and drier whether it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter. As we all know, being too hot or too cold or waking up in a sweat can seriously impact our sleep quality.

But let’s look at the Princess and the Pea situation. Sometimes our mattresses can develop some lumps and bumps, especially if we didn’t choose a high-quality mattress in the first place. Unfortunately, even the cheapest mattresses aren’t cheap. So, until you can afford to replace a mattress, a wool underlay will give you a soft-as-a-cloud cushion between you and your mattress. And even if you have a good mattress, an extra layer of comfort is always a bonus!
