Sleep is an important part of our lives and yet for some elderly people getting a good nights sleep is not easy. The 3 things that can contribute to poor sleep are a)temperature 2) comfort 3)feeling sleepy. I believe that Natural Pure Wool Bedding can really help.

So let's deal with each of these things:

a) Temperature - it very important that in order to get a good sleep we are at the right temperature, however we all are different and so the temperature should be right for us individually. Natural Pure Wool Bedding is unique; it "breathes" and thus keeps you warm but not hot, cool but not cold. Synthetic and feathers can trap heat and moisture in.

b) Comfort - Natural Pure Wool Duvets and Pillows are not heavy and do not bunch up so they remain light and allow us move freely whilst asleep. Natural Pure Wool Underblankets provide a comfortable cushion between you and the mattress which helps circulation, temperature control and reduce pressure points on the body.

c) Feeling sleepy - in order to feel sleepy we must be either tired or comfortable. Synthetic material can contain static electricity which can cause discomfort or energy which can reduce sleepiness. Also Natural Pure Wool Duvets, Pillows and Underblankets are very comfortable, light, don't slip off and allow us to get the most from our sleep.

Wool is natural, renewable and bio-degradable, its good for us and good for the environment.
