The wool fiber is the most complex natural textile fiber. It absorbs moisture yet repels water; it stretches, then springs back to shape; it resists dirt, yet absorbs dyes.

Wool has unique physical properties which give it superior performance capabilities and make it ideal for use in the bedding industry. Many of these advantages are due to its complex and natural physio-chemical structure, which can not be artificially manufactured.

Large volumes of high quality, consistent and clean wool are produced annually in the United States. Wool has a natural crimp that gives it the advantages of elasticity, flexibility, loft, resilience over other fibers. The result is greater comfort, durability, warmth, and shape retention. The crimping process actually increases the natural frequency and reciprocating bends or waves along the fibers' length which are then permanently "heat set" to predetermined limits.

Wool is water resistant and repels odor.

Wool reduces pressure points and regulates temperature keeping you cool when it's warm and warm when it's cold.

Wool can absorb up to 30% of it's weight in moisture, and wick it into the air. This keeps you warm when it's cool and cool when it's warm. Synthetics, by contrast, do not absorb moisture, wick it way from the body to the fiber surface which makes you feel clammy when its warm and chilly when it's cool.

Wool's Natural Resilience
Wool has a natural crimp that gives it the advantages of elasticity, flexibility, loft, resilience over other fibers. The result is greater comfort, durability, warmth, and shape retention.

Wool is durable. A fiber can be bent up to 20,000 times without breaking. Compare this to 3,200 times for cotton and 1,800 for silk.

The natural crimp of wool separates the fibers. Crush a hand full of wool and watch it spring back to shape. Woolen yarns provide warmth and comfort.

Wool & Microclimates
When used in bedding, wool creates a micro climate which assists in regulating body temperature and humidity, providing a more rested night's sleep.

Flame Resistance
Testing over many years has confirmed that the high keratin protein and moisture content of wool make it naturally resistant to burning. It is difficult to set alight under most conditions, and burns only weakly, forming a cold char which tends to extinguish burning. Test have shown wool to be among the safest of bedding materials.

Allergy Free
Organic crimped wool has been thoroughly cleaned and is non-allergenic, making it ideal for those who suffer allergies to feather and down or synthetic bedding products.
