Wool pillow, pure nature
When choosing a pillow, it’s important that it supports your head and neck properly, exactly where you need it. This helps relieve your neck, head and shoulder area, creating maximum relaxation. Sleeping comfort is also an important factor that helps you make the right choice when buying a wool pillow.
A wool pillow is suitable for every sleeper. Back, front and side sleepers can all enjoy excellent support and comfort with a wool pillow. If you choose a refillable wool pillow, you have complete control over the height and firmness of your wool pillow. Wool also has unique moisture- and temperature-regulating properties and ventilates extremely well. If you choose a pillow filled with wool, you are guaranteed a relaxed night’s sleep.
A wool pillow also requires very little maintenance. You can wash the ticking (cover) of the pillow (provided it is cotton and not lined with wool fleece). However, we recommend refreshing or cleaning wool products both a duvet and a pillow at the dry cleaner. This prevents the lanolin (natural wool fat) from being damaged and keeps the wool in top condition. Lanolin is a natural waxy layer with dirt-repellent properties and helps keep wool supple. Thanks to lanolin, wool doesn’t feel itchy or prickly. Lanolin is also known to have a beneficial effect on muscles and joints. That’s why wool has been praised for years by people with rheumatic complaints. This long list of benefits makes wool an excellent filling for pillows.
Tip! To extend the lifespan of a wool pillow, we always recommend using a molton or a Tencel pillowcase. This protects your wool pillow against moisture rings and keeps your pillow fresh and clean for longer.
