Won’t wool bedding be hot?
No, because (this is where the magic of wool comes in) wool regulates body temperature better than any other fibre! It absorbs body moisture and heat, then releases it back into the atmosphere to keep you comfortable all night long — which is something other fibres like down, polyester and memory foam can’t do. Wool’s ability to keep your bedding dry and free from moisture & odour also makes it a natural repellent for dust mites.
What’s the difference between your The Classic and The NAP?
They’re both customisable, and filled with the wool off our family farm -But, NAP Neck Alignment Pillow has been ergonomically designed to help prevent the triggers of headaches whether lying on your back or side by reducing pressure points and supporting the natural curve of your neck.
Should I ‘fluff’ my pillow?
Yes - besides the fact it’s fun to do (riiight?), a quick fluff each morning will keep The Classic pillow in optimal condition. Our wool loft is engineered to be revived to its original puffiness with one quick fluff - see full care instructions here.
Can I wash my bedding?
You can -but you don't need to. To keep your bedding clean simply air it outside or tumble dry it on air setting (no heat) for 15 minutes once a month. If you wish to give it a more thorough clean, please follow the individual care label on your bedding See full care instructions here.
What size duvet should I be buying?
We agree with sleep experts (and sleep enthusiasts) that your duvet should be one size bigger than your mattress for ultimate comfort and warmth. So, for a queen bed - a king duvet is the size we would recommend and for those with a double or king single bed, we would suggest The Lofty in a queen size.
Which Lofty should I be buying, the 250gsm or the 350gsm?
For those in new homes, and those that sleep warm you will likely find the 250gsm weight to be warm enough. For those in older homes or cooler climates, we suggest the 350gsm to keep you cosy throughout the winter months while still being a comfortable weight for all-but the warmest of nights.
Will my bed smell like sheep?
Natural products have natural scents, but don't worry - if you do happen to notice a faint woolly smell this will gradually disappear.
Will my pillow/duvet cover fit?
The best bedding makes sleep better and life easier, so yes - our bedding will fit all standard New Zealand covers and protectors. When choosing your bedlinen, we recommend choosing a low thread count in a natural fibre for better breathability.
Does it hurt to take wool off the sheep?
Not at all. Shearing isn’t painful — it’s how we keep our sheep healthy and comfortable.
