We all know the feeling, tossing and turning, kicking off the covers only to pull them back on again. Too hot then too cold. It’s an all-too-common struggle that leaves us wondering “is there a secret to a truly comfortable sleep?”
At Creswick Woollen Mills, we believe there is. And the answer lies in understanding and improving temperature regulation. When your body stays at a comfortable temperature you sleep deeper and wake more rested.
The Serious Side of Sleep Deprivation
Before we dive into the solution, its important to understand the problem. Inadequate sleep can take a serious toll on your mind and body, leaving you with low energy, poor focus, a weakened immune system and even raises your risk of depression. It doesn’t just leave you tired – it can leave you vulnerable.
Fortunately, one of the most effective ways to support better sleep is by creating a comfortable, consistent sleep environment. That’s where wool comes in! It’s breathable, moisture-wicking and helps keep you at a comfortable temperature all night long.
How Wool Keeps You Comfortable All Night Long
Wool is an expert at helping you comfortable while you sleep. Unlike synthetic fibres that trap heat or leave you feeling sticky when you sweat, the unique structure of wool works in harmony with your body to keep you in the comfort zone while you sleep.
Here’s how it works:
· Adapts to Your Body. Wool Responds to You: Wool is an Active fibre, meaning it reacts to your own body heat and sweat, if you start to overheat or cool down, wool reacts in real time by either holding in warmth or releasing it, matching your body’s needs.
· Balances Head and Humidity. Wool Responds to the Room: wool handles the changes in environment around you and acts like a buffer, smoothing out those sudden changes, so your body doesn’t feel the full impact.
· Absorbs Moisture Without Feeling Wet. Keeps You Dry from Sweat: Wool can soak up lots of moisture like sweat or humidity from your skin without feeling wet. It then releases that moisture into the air, so you stay dry not clammy or sticky.
· Naturally Insulating. Keeps You Warm (Without Overheating): Wool traps heat, but in a breathable way! The crimped shape of wool traps tiny pockets of air that acts like a barrier, keeping warmth close to your body while letting excess hear escape.
Backed by Science: How Wool Supports Better Sleep
Extensive studies and research confirms the positive benefits of sleeping with wool.
You Fall Asleep Faster in Wool
In one study, older adults wearing wool pyjamas fell asleep in just 12 minutes, compared to 22 minutes in polyester and 27 minutes in cotton.
You Sleep Deeper in Wool
Wool bedding has been shown to:
· Increase REM sleep, linked to improved cognition and emotional recovery
· Help your body cool naturally during vital deep sleep.
· Feel more comfortable overall, with participants reporting better sleep and improved morning alertness
Benefits for People with Chronic Pain
Individuals with fibromyalgia who sleep on wool underlays report reduced pain levels and improved overall sleep quality. These patients also required less turning or rolling, and developed fewer pressure ulcers, likely due to wool’s natural moisture wicking properties and breathability, which helps minimise moisture build up against the skin.
Why Choose Wool for Your Bedroom?
If you want to wake up feeling rested and refreshed, wool is the solution. Its temperature regulating, moisture-wicking, and insulating properties make it the natural choice compared to synthetics.
