  1. FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Wool Bedding As one of Australia’s leading brands in the wool industry, it’s safe to say that we know a thing or two about our product. Australia is the world’s leader in wool export, and thus we get asked a lot of question about wool, such as why choose wool? What is the difference between an Australian wool doona and a duvet? Aresummer wool quiltsappropriate for winter? Here we try and help you out with a little extra information so you can learn as much about wool as you would like. These are the questions that we receive most often about our products: Why should you choose wool for your bedding? Wool is a completely natural fibre, with a propensity to bounce back even after being bent thousands of times, this makes wool incredibly durable and long lasting. It absorbs moisture more than any other material like cotton, and this makes it perfect for people with night sweats; the great thing is that it doesn’t retain bacteria or odour either. Wool has properties that make it effective at regulating body temperature, and thus it’s perfect for every season; summer wool quilts and a reversible wool underlay can be used in winter –plus most wool is hypoallergenic meaning you won’t struggle with allergies while you sleep. Is there a difference between an Australian wool doona, a duvet and a quilt? This is a question that we get fairly often, but the truth of the matter is that they are all essentially the same thing. A doona is the Australian term for a duvet or quilt, whereas they call it a duvet in New Zealand and The UK, but in America it’s called a quilt. Is there such thing as wool allergies? Wool allergies are incredibly rare, and as stated earlier, most woollen bedding is specifically made to be hypoallergenic.

  2. People often wonder about that itchy feeling that they get from wool clothing, but it’s simple your skin becoming itched from thicker, more robust strands of wool and not an actual allergy. Is wool bedding suitable for babies? Wool bedding is completely fine to use in your baby’s room, bed or crib. Babies can’t regulate their temperatures very well, and over heating is a big problem in little ones. Wool has natural body regulating properties that will make sure babies don’t overheat or get cold at night. The hypoallergenic properties also make it a great choice for baby bedding, as it’s incredibly unlikely that they will react to it in any way. Can you wash your reversible wool underlayand other wool bedding in the machine? When it comes to washing woollen bedding, it can be quite tricky, and whether you can machine wash it is completely dependant on the company you buy it from and the processes that it’s been through. The right design and cleaning process will produce wool that has secure fibres, and these are the ones that can be washed in the machine. They remain in great condition no whether you wash them by hand or in the washing machine. I hope that we’ve answered any of your pressing questions about wool, but if not, simply contact us and we’ll be happy to tell you everything that we know.
