Organic wool offers many benefits, both for you and the environment.

For You: Organic wool creates an unsurpassed, luxurious and healthy sleep environment. During the night, the average person can lose up to a pint of moisture. Wool fibers absorb and store moisture, and also trap pockets of air that regulate temperature in every season and climate. Also, organic wool is completely chemical-free, avoiding pesticides and dyes that can irritate and endanger sleepers.

For The Environment: Organic wool is harvested in environments free from toxic pesticides that are damaging to humans, fish and amphibians, and which can potentially cause groundwater contamination. Pesticides used in sheep dips have also consistently been linked to nervous system damage in exposed workers. Additionally, growth-promoting antibiotics used on sheep may leach into groundwater, including drinking water, which could compromise the effectiveness of such medicines for humans.
