Merino Wool
The benefits of wool
Sometimes the best technology is the oldest. European Sleep Works loves to find innovative solutions, but there is no getting around the perfection of wool fiber for enhancing mattress performance. For this we have Mother Nature to thank.
Why Wool is Perfect
A mattress’ quilting directly affects your sleep temperature. While most US mattress producers use non-breathable synthetic fibers like polyester to upholster and quilt their mattresses, European Sleep Works uses wool. Sleep studies have shown that wool creates better temperature regulation, thereby lowering your heart rate and allowing you to sleep soundly—a big health incentive. Wool wicks moisture and allows it to evaporate, keeping you and your mattress drier. You sleep more comfortably, and your mattress doesn’t become a breeding ground for allergens like mold, mildew, and dust mites. Wool also acts like a natural fire-retardant, so our mattresses are chemical-free.
Our German-sourced wool is certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, a strict set of European environmental guidelines. And our supplier uses a natural soda bath washing process to achieve the cleanest wool.
Wool provides the same advantages when it is used for bedding as it does inside your mattress. We offer twin, queen, and king-sized wool-filled duvets that are imported from Slovenia. They are warmer when you’re cold, cooler when you’re hot, and drier when it’s humid.
