Building a bed with wool

Building a bed with wool

You’ve read the benefits tied to sleeping on wool, now you’re wondering where to begin with building your bed as a haven for better sleep.

Our wool bedding allows you to sleep more comfortably using a layering technique. Today I am going to share some of these tips with you.

Raw wool mattress pads

Let’s start with what I mean by ‘raw wool’. Our wool mattress pads are raw in the fact they are not covered with a cotton cover like you might be used to. They are left exposed for better cleaning and should be cared for differently when building your bed.

Place our raw wool mattress pads directly on your mattress. Then place a 100% cotton fitted sheet over the top to secure your pad and to keep it from slouching. After that you can put on your 100% cotton sheets as you would normally to make your bed.

Wool Comforters

Unlike our wool mattress pads our wool comforters have a 100% cotton muslin cover on them. You can use them directly but I recommend using a 100% cotton duvet cover to keep them clean and make it easier to wash your bedding.

100% Cotton

As you find sheets and blankets to layer your bedding it is very important to seek out 100% natural cotton linens. Cotton helps your wool breathe, giving you better and more comfortable results. I use Redland Cotton sheets because they are so thoughtfully made and of such high quality.
