Ecological wool duvet with organic cotton

"Ecological wool duvet with organic cotton"

The natural filling of Virgin Merino wool

The filling of our duvets is a virgin Merino wool which has received no kind of treatment which could diminish its natural properties.  The wool is collected under optimum conditions and from sheep reared without the use of antibiotics, hormones or any other harmful chemical treatments. 

In order that the wool we use can retain its healthy qualities, no chemical dipping is used in the cleaning process. Instead we use only mechanical combing methods to get rid of impurities, so ensuring the wool retains all its natural properties, especially the lanolin which guarantees many of its therapeutic benefits. Once the wool is free of impurities it is subsequently conditioned, always using organic detergent in the washing and cleaning. This careful cleaning of the wool allows us to retain intact the lanolin covering, lanolin being a natural substance which not only protects and covers the wool, but repels mould, bacteria, bed-mites, insects and moths. Did you know that lanolin also helps purify the air in your bedroom! 

The wool filling of your duvet is distributed in layers, sections and chambers all over the duvet, in such a way that any agglomeration of the fibres is avoided; the filling stays evenly spread throughout the duvet. In addition, this balanced distribution in layers means air moves freely within the interior structure of the duvet, so improving the duvet’s properties of thermal insulation.

The most important properties as natural filling of wool:

• Wool is a natural, renewable and non-contaminating fibre
• It is long-lasting and resistant guaranteeing you will have the duvet for many years.
• It absorbs and dissipates moisture.
• It provides relaxing comfort.
• Its natural lanolin covering acts as a repellent to both mould and bacteria.
• It improves blood circulation.
• Wool possesses thermo-regulating properties.

The Thermoregulating capacity of Natural Wool

Virgin wool is the perfect choice to help you enjoy a deep and renovating night’s rest. Thanks to its exceptional capacity to absorb and dissipate moisture it prevents sweating; maintaining a dry and pleasant feel even when temperatures are high. Its thermo-regulating properties mean you can use this magnificent wool duvet in almost all the seasons of the year, offering you warmth when it’s cold and freshness in the warmer months of the year.

Since time immemorial man has used wool to protect himself from inclement weather. We can find sheep almost everywhere on the planet and in all climates, from very cold places to deserts where temperatures are high. Wool adapts naturally!.

The organic cotton shell

The cotton used in the manufacture of the shell is grown organically and under natural conditions, without the use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides or pesticides. It’s an excellent fabric, suitable for all skin types and especially for the delicate skin of children. It is pleasing to the touch, soft, fresh and natural; and totally hypo-allergenic. This organic cotton shell allows air and moisture to circulate freely through it, whilst not allowing the wool to escape. It’s a cotton ‘Sateen’ shell manufactured in Germany.

Use and maintenance

• Shake gently and often to keep the duvet well-aired.
• Para limpiar cualquier mancha utilizar un paño húmedo; y si es necesario, aplicar un producto de limpieza textil que contenga oxígeno activo.
• Do NOT wash in a washing machine.
• For deep and bigger stains DRY CLEAN, but it’s advisable to dry clean as little as possible and only if absolutely necessary.
• Air the duvet well once or twice a year; if possible outside in the sun or extended indoors and near an open window.

Why shouldn't you machine-wash

Woollen fibres when in contact with water tend to intertwine and to get compacted, so losing their natural characteristic of softness and comfort. Some manufacturers say their woollen duvets can be machine-washed, but these duvets are not 100% wool. The wool has been treated to cover the synthetic polymers and to prevent the aforementioned intertwining. Unfortunately, however, the wool fibres then lose their natural and physical properties and behave as if they were totally synthetic. That’s to say it is no longer a truly woollen duvet!

Using a minimum of care, and protecting the duvet with a good quality duvet cover it will not be necessary to wash the duvet itself and you can enjoy your magnificent duvet for many years or even decades!.

We advise you to air the duvet 24 hours before using it for the first time as initially there may exist a slight, natural and characteristic smell of virgin wool. This is due of course to the content of natural lanolin.
