Sheep wool has long been recognized as an excellent material - ecological and natural - thanks to its excellent properties:
• Thermoregulation : wool helps maintain a constant body temperature
• Ventilation : wool is breathable and prevents the body from overheating during sleep
• Hygroscopicity : absorbs approx. 40% moisture, easy to remove during ventilation, effectively absorbs perspiration.
• Incombustibility : when in contact with fire, the wool does not spread, only the fibers are carbonized.
• Neutralization of positive ions : wool effectively eliminates positive ionization (caused by fibers and artificial products), replacing it with a negative one, natural for the human body. In this way, we feel rested, avoid muscle pain, lowering excessive hyperactivity
• Lanolin : prevents the proliferation of bacteria and dust mites, protects against dirt, pollution remains on the surface of the wool, cleaning is easy.
