HOW TO GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP AND IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
CELEBRATING 12 YEARS OF TRACEABLE AND SUSTAINABLE WOOL PRODUCTS
Discover how wool is better for You, and better for the Planet
There was a time when everyone in the UK slept under wool, but as many of you may well remember they were itchy and heavy and by the time winter came you were locked down under three blankets and even a quilt eiderdown. Oh happy days! And we had to make the bed up every day; all those blankets.
After the Second World War, more people travelled abroad where they discovered French wine, cheeses and the ‘continental quilt’, which eventually became known as the duvet. It was nice and snuggly at night and you didn’t have to make the bed, just shake it out. But since then, times have changed for the better. The vast majority of us now have double glazing and central heating as well as loft insulation and so on.
Our houses are warmer, our beds are warmer and our duvets seem to have become hotter.
THE SECRET TO A GOOD SLEEP
The secret to a good sleep is to have your body temperature regulated, so you go into a deep, dormant sleep allowing the body to repair cells, fi ght illness and generally rejuvenate itself. To go into that deep, dormant state our blood pressure must drop, our heart rate must go down, but most of all, our temperature has to drop. Under normal duvet fi llings, polyester, feather and even the most expensive down duvet, only one thing can happen during the night: your temperature will rise because they’re all insulators. So, during the night you toss and turn or throw the duvet off in order to cool your body down. This leads to disturbed sleep. But help is at hand with a British-made wool Baavet, fi nely combed pure wool encased in a high-quality pure cotton outer, a wool duvet.
WOOL IS A TEMPERATURE REGULATOR
Not many people know that a sheep’s wool is how it regulates its temperature. Think about it, where are all the dead sheep in summer heat waves with their big woolly coats if they haven’t been shorn? They may pant a bit, but they don’t die. Wool is the only fi bre on the planet that can do this due to the structure of each fi bre.
WOOL IS NATURALLY HYPOALLERGENIC Wool naturally wicks away moisture:
(it’s the way a sheep sweats). This means that moulds can’t develop nor mould spores, as long as you keep your Baavet dry. The secret is in the structure of the fi bres, which are hollow, and absorb moisture leaving the surface of the fi bre dry. Wool can absorb 30% of its own weight in moisture. ALSO DUST MITES HATE WOOL and can’t survive because of the very dry nature of the surface of the fi bres.
AND BACTERIA CAN’T SURVIVE IN WOOL so, no sweat; no dust mites;
no bacteria all making wool incredibly clean and naturally hypoallergenic. Normally you don’t have to wash your Baavet duvet, you simply need to air it on a fi ne sunny day. For serious soiling see care label. And it’s ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY AND MORE SUSTAINABLE.
HOW LONG WILL YOUR BAAVET LAST?
As long as you look after it, then it should last a lifetime.
ARE WOOL DUVETS TOG RATED?
No, because wool regulates heat. However the more wool in a duvet the warmer it will be, like a mountain sheep has a big heavy fl eece which is much warmer than lowland shorter fl eece, obvious really. So we have 4 Baavet duvet options and approximate TOG ratings, remember wool is both cooler and warmer than other duvet fi llings and not everyone is the same nor is every house. Super Light (2-4 tog); Light (4-8 tog); Medium (8-12 tog) and Winter weight (12+ tog). When choosing your duvet, just think of what Tog you use mainly during the year; and how cold or warm your house is.
