Mattress Buying Guide: Why Wool?

At Woolroom, we’re proud to be the UK’s leading provider of traceable wool mattresses, handcrafted using 100% British wool. Every mattress in our collection is made with natural materials, sourced ethically from farms across the UK, ensuring high animal welfare standards and a lighter impact on the planet.

Each batch of wool we use is fully traceable right back to the farm it came from — meaning you can rest easy knowing your mattress is better for people, sheep, and the planet.

Why Choose a Wool Mattress?

If you're wondering what type of mattress is best for you, there are a few key things to consider — including comfort, support, firmness, size, and how well the mattress works with your sleep position or health needs. But when it comes to choosing the right filling, wool is a natural frontrunner. Here’s why:

  • 100% natural & renewable: Wool is a biodegradable, sustainable fibre that replenishes naturally.
  • Durable: Wool mattresses are built to last, maintaining their shape and support over many years.
  • Naturally flame retardant: No need for synthetic chemical treatments — wool meets UK fire regulations naturally.
  • Temperature regulating: Wool cleverly responds to your body temperature, helping you stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
  • Hypoallergenic & breathable: Wool helps reduce exposure to common allergens like dust mites, mould, and mildew.
  • Traceable & British: All our mattresses use traceable British wool, sourced from trusted farms across the UK.
  • Eco-friendly packaging: We deliver all our mattresses in recyclable, environmentally responsible packaging.
