| The production of Pure Grow Wool and the bedding derived from it has a
lasting beneficial impact on our natural environment as well as your personal sleep
environment. Wool fiber fills and
batting provide the most comfortable and healthful microclimate for the human body at rest.
Because wool fibers are uniquely spiral, they create tiny pockets of insulating air
that absorb moisture like a sponge. In a comforter, wool's springy, resilient fibers trap
an abundance of air to create a layer of insulation that evenly maintains body
temperature. Wool's fiber-and-air combination in mattress batting cushions the body and
shields it from irritating pressure points.
It's a surprising fact that beneath a comforter, the average person perspires as much
as a pint of water during an eight-hour period of sleep. But wool absorbs and wicks away
large amounts of moisture vapor before the feeling of wetness disturbs sleep. The effect
of wool's "natural climate zone" is advantageous in a pillow, which receives
especially large quantities of body moisture.
A study constructed by two leading European institutes confirms wool's superior
comfort, demonstrating the lowering of heart rate, decreasing humidity and regulating body
temperature. And under both warm and cool sleeping conditions, wool fill wicks
away body moisture better than down, cotton, or synthetic fibers. Because
wool dries so quickly, dust mites don't like it. So our products that
contain our Pure Grow Wool are especially resistant to dust mites. |
