What is virgin sheep’s wool?
Virgin sheep’s wool is a natural fibre with unique properties and the perfect filling for duvets, pillows and toppers
It has numerous positive properties that we utilise in bedding. If wool provides excellent warmth for sheep, why not for us humans too? Warmth in sheep’s clothing.
Sheep’s wool is obtained from five parts of the sheep’s body during shearing: the shoulders, rump, neck, belly and back. The wool on the back and shoulders is the least stressed and is therefore considered the best. The sheep are shorn once or twice a year.
The fibres of virgin sheep’s wool are particularly elastic and hard-wearing. They are stretchable, can be bent and stretched, but always spring back into their original shape. The wool fibre is coated with a very thin, natural layer, the epicuticle. This allows water droplets to roll off and moisture to evaporate, i.e. penetrate in gaseous form. Its unique properties make the natural hair an ideal filling material for bedding.
Properties of virgin wool – the No. 1 in moisture transport: ideal for sweaty sleepers
