It’s no secret that wool is a luxury, magical fabric that offers a whole host of benefits. But what is it about wool that makes it so special? And why is wool better than alternative fibres?
What are the benefits of wool?
If you’re wondering where to buy bedding, or what is the best bedding for achieving a perfect sleep, look no further than wool. With its health benefits and its luxurious, enhanced comfort, wool has been proven to improve your sleep by 25%. How? Because when you cocoon yourself in wool, you’re guaranteed a healthier, happier sleep, leaving you feeling fully rested and refreshed each morning. *When you combine our wool duvets, pillows and mattress base layers, or buy a Complete Bedding Set, you'll receive our 60 Night Sleep Trial. So, if you're not completely satisfied in our claim and you're not experiencing better sleep, we'll refund your purchase in full, without quibble.It's cool when it's hot, and warm when it's not!
Not only is it the comfort element of wool which sets it apart from other types of bedding on offer, but wool is also a natural insulator. This means you’ll be kept warm in winter, and cooler in the summer – thanks to its temperature regulating capabilities and its naturally breathable fabric. Wool fibre helps to keep your body at the optimal temperature zone for the right level of comfort and rest. The alternatives, such as synthetic fibres, down and cotton, do not breathe in the same way as wool does, and are more likely to trap heat in your bed. Wool buffers the extreme cold or hot air on the outside, keeping your body in the ideal comfort zone. The perfect temperature for the perfect snooze.It's naturally absorbent!
It’s easy to say why wool makes for great bedding when its packed full of health benefits - such as being naturally absorbent. Wool fibre is the original wicking fibre, and wool fabrics can absorb up to 30% of their weight without feeling heavy or damp. To put that into perspective, cotton fabrics begin to feel damp after 15%. The fibres 'breathe' by absorbing moisture away from the body and releasing it into the air. It’s just like magic!It's hypoallergenic!
If you’re looking for anti-allergy bedding, you can’t go wrong with wool, as it’s naturally hypoallergenic. Although some people do have a rare natural allergy to Lanolin- the oil found in wool - most people's allergy to wool is a reaction to the many harsh and toxic chemicals that go into the treatment and finishing of conventional wool garments and bedding. Serious chemical abrasives are routinely used to wash raw wool for processing. Chlorine and mothproofing chemicals are routinely applied to conventional wool before turning it into a finished product. With Woolroom, no such chemicals are used, so you can rest assured that your bedding is completely free of harsh chemicals or bleaches.It resists mildew and mould!
Wool's natural resistance to mildews and moulds comes from the way it repels moisture, and lets moisture pass through its fibres without trapping it. Mildews and moulds require moisture to live, and grow, which is why wool is the perfect material for bedding.It's clean!
Wool resists static, dirt and dust. This makes it easy to clean, because any dirt will sit on the surface of the fibre. The outside surface of the wool fibre consists of a series of overlapping scales, similar to the feathers on a bird, making it easy to brush off and for stains to lift out.It's durable!
Laboratory tests have shown that wool fibres resist tearing and can bend back on themselves more than 20,000 times without breaking. Cotton breaks after 3,200 bends, silk fibres break after 1,800 bends and rayon fibres break after just 75 bends. That’s why wool lasts, giving your bedding a longer, happier life.It's naturally wrinkle resistant!
If you’re wondering why wool will naturally resist the wrinkles in your bed sheets, it’s because wool is the most resilient fibre. It has a natural crimp that helps it keep its shape, and will bounce back to its original shape even if it’s stretched.It's fire retardant!
Wool is safer to wear because of its natural fire-retardant properties. It can resist flame without the chemical treatment involved in fireproofing. Most synthetic fibres ignite easily, burn fiercely and melt at an alarming rate.It's renewable and sustainable!
Wool is a renewable resource that can be shorn from sheep annually. It is biodegradable and kinder to the environment than oil-based synthetics, which contribute to global pollution.Are you ready to reap the benefits of wool pillows, duvets, mattresses and more?

"Do You Use Flame Retardants In Your Products?"
I am away of the properties of wool, but how does it work with the Regulations? I've actually bought some of your products over the years, but only recently found out that fire retardants are also in pillows and duvets.
Woolroom's Customer Care Team Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.
We don't use any chemicals in our products. Wool as a fibre is naturally flame retardant, ridding the need for any unpleasant chemicals.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Adam

"Query"
Hi, today I sent my pillows to be dry clean as advise on the label, and it has come back mis-shapen kind of flat, and wrinkled. And the cotton cover has some of the wool on the outside. Can you advised me as to what may of gone wrong.
Woolroom's Customer Care Team Hi Maxine,
Sorry to hear about the issues that have arisen following the dry-cleaning process of your pillows. This is certainly not a typical outcome for our pillows after the care instructions have been followed. Please, can you get in touch by sending an email to [email protected], so that we can investigate this matter and advise further?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards,
Woolroom

"‘Wooly Smell’"
I love my wool duvet which I bought about a year ago. I initially had ‘wooly” smell (which wasn’t pleasant). Airing outside didn’t help, but someone in your customer services advised using the duvet for a while without a duvet cover - this worked.
Woolroom's Customer Care Team Hello and thank you for the review, we are delighted you are happy with your products and the benefits that wool brings, we would love to welcome you back again and hope we see you again soon.
Kind regards,
Woolroom

"Duvet"
Received mine today and it has a very strong smell. Is that usual and will it go?
Woolroom's Customer Care Team Hi Jan, this is the remaining Lanolin in the wool and is a sign the wool is high quality (a quick google search will confirm this). It will fade but this is done much quicker if you pop it outside in the fresh air, wool will absorb the smell of its surrounds so fresh air will take the smell away, this can be done inside but if it is airing in a room that begins to smell like the lanolin it will take longer as it will just be absorbing the same smell.

Woolroom's Customer Care Team Hi Jan, this smell is the remaining lanolin in the wool, as we use high quality wool and do not over process it to keep the quality as best as it can be sometimes a lanolin smell can remain, a quick google search will confirm this and that it is down to high quality materials used, it will fade with a little airing but this is best done outside, it can be done inside but as wool absorbs the smell of its surroundings if the room starts to smell like lanolin it will just absorb the same smell and take longer to fade.

"Chlorine"
HiIn your article it says that "Chlorine and mothproofing chemicals are routinely applied to conventional wool before turning it into a finished product. With Woolroom, no such chemicals are used, so you can rest assured that your bedding is completely free of harsh chemicals or bleaches"
But...in your wool duvet pillow page it says that the wool has been "treated with Chlorine" which is washed twice.
Please can you advise if chemicals are used in your deluxe pillows and deluxe duvet? Do they meet the allergy uk standards?
Woolroom's Customer Care Team Hi, the Deluxe range is treated with Chlorine which is what makes it machine washable. This is double washed out and the remaining Chlorine left in the product is less than what you would find in 3/4 of a cup of tap water, these have been tested by Allergy UK and also have their seal of approval.
