In the battle of the best quilt filling, one of the main questions we get asked is: how well does it regulate your temperature?

Goose down quilts are a good insulator as they trap a lot of air. But they don’t breathe very well, meaning they trap moisture far more than wool quilts. When you’re a little too warm in bed and you start to sweat, the moisture that’s left behind can get trapped, leaving you feeling clammy and uncomfortable and reduces the quality of your sleep. However, wool bedding has been scientifically proven to enhance stage four sleep by up to as much as 25%. This is because wool has the unique ability to keep your body temperature at its optimum levels.

What is the best quilt for allergies?

Wool bedding is considerably better for allergy sufferers because dust mites just cannot thrive in it. Unfortunately, down or feather cannot react as quickly or to the same level. This means the humidity under a down or feather quilt is higher than when sleeping under wool, making it much more comfortable for dust mites. So wool quilt is the preferred for allergy sufferers.

Are you too cold, while your partner’s too hot?

Wool bedding is fantastic for couples who sleep at different temperatures, as it provides each different sleeper with a unique climate zone. It works with your individual body temperature, wicking moisture away when you’re too hot and clammy, and keeping you snug as the temperature drops. Other bedding types do not have this ability.

Wool vs down quilts: Which is cruelty free?

Goose down quilts are usually manufactured using feathers that are already a by-product of the farming industry. However, there’s no getting away from the fact that down and feathers used for quilts are likely to come from birds that are already destined for slaughter. One of the great things about wool is that it’s completely natural, sustainable and ethically sourced. Sheep are sheared for their own health and comfort, meaning their wool can be naturally harvested. In fact, wool is one of the only sustainable fibres that can be shorn off the animal and regrown for use the following year. Plus, our wool quilts are biodegradable and, within 6-12 months, will become fully decomposed nitrogen enriched compost.

In contrast to all aspects of performance, wool duvets are more practical and excellent than down quilts.
