There are some of us who find it difficult to sleep with covers on top of us. We tend to be hot sleepers and need every bit of air possible to make it through the night. We turn on fans<\/a>, open the windows, anything to stay cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the thought of sleeping with wool is utterly ridiculous to us, even unimaginable. Who would want wool pillows<\/a> if they are hot sleepers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wool fiber would be more conducive for people who needed to be warm during the night, right? Not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wool is a permeable fabric, which means it allows moisture to pass through the core of the fibers. What this does is help our body to regulate its own temperature so we can feel warm when it\u2019s chilly outside and cool and comfortable when it\u2019s hot outside<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies Dispel The Myth About Wool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to what many may believe, for thousands of years, wool has been used to make life comfortable, especially when it\u2019s hot! Wool provides the perfect temperature-controlled sleeping environment, and here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies<\/a> conducted with a variety of bedding products in various temperatures and humid environments found wool to be the best fiber of them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study confirmed that wool breathes better than synthetics, increases periods of deep REM sleep, helps the body assume a comfortable sleeping temperature<\/a> quicker, and maintains that comfort for a longer time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wool\u2019s Finest Qualities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of wool\u2019s finest qualities is its ability to maintain a comfortable body temperature, regardless of the season or climate. Wool produces the warmth your body needs in the winter without overheating, and it keeps your body cooler in the summer and on those long summer nights when you can barely breathe on the outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wool\u2019s natural moisture-wicking properties help to keep you nice and cool on the outside. Wool bedding works like a personal heating and cooling system and is perfect for anyone who experiences night sweats often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of wool as a foam cooler that keeps your food or drinks warm or cold, depending on which one you need at the time. That\u2019s what wool does for your body. That\u2019s what sleeping on a wool pillow<\/a> does for your upper body, your head, and neck and shoulder area. Wool keeps it all in perspective to allow for a comfortable night of sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Wool Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no coincidence wool works in this manner. The fiber has distinct properties that make it different from other textiles. It belongs to a group of proteins called keratins. Its cells form a complex structure composed of amino acids and acidic carboxyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This heterogeneous composition is the reason wool behaves differently from other textiles. Wool\u2019s surface is scaly because of its overlapping cuticles, while other textile fibers have a smooth surface. This physical attribute of wool fibers makes it easier to spin and has several other advantages that other fibers can\u2019t match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of those advantages include: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
