When it comes to choosing materials for our bedding and pillows, sustainability and support of our local communities is a hot topic. Many of us are seeking eco-friendly options that not only offer comfort but also help minimise our environmental footprint. Sleepyhead has chosen Taupo Wool for our wool-containing pillows not only because we're massive supporters of buying local, but because of its remarkable properties and eco-friendly credentials.
The natural properties of Taupo wool
1. Temperature regulation
Taupo wool has excellent thermal properties. It helps keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. This natural temperature regulation is crucial for a good night's sleep.
2. Moisture wicking
Wool's moisture-wicking properties help draw perspiration away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the night.
3. Hypoallergenic
Taupo wool is naturally resistant to dust mites and allergens, making it a great choice for those with allergies or asthma.
4. Durability
It's known for its durability and ability to maintain loft and shape and avoid "clumping", ensuring your pillow remains comfortable and supportive for longer.
Sustainability of Taupo wool
One of the key reasons Taupo wool stands out as an eco-friendly choice is its sustainable production. The sheep are raised on the pristine grasslands surrounding Lake Taupo. Taupo wool producers prioritise animal welfare and environmental stewardship. The result is sheep that produce an annual fleece that is simply unrivalled.
The natural and renewable aspect of Taupo wool makes it a sustainable choice, contributing to the conservation of natural resources.
Perfect for pillows
Sleepyhead has chosen Taupo wool for its wool-containing pillows due to its unique properties:
1. Comfort
Wool-containing pillows provide excellent support while remaining super soft to the touch. The natural temperature regulating properties of wool help you stay cosy all night long.
2. Hypoallergenic
For those that suffer from allergies or asthma, wool pillows are a great option as they naturally resist dust mites and allergens.
3. Longevity
Wool-containing pillows have a longer lifespan than some synthetic alternatives. They maintain their loft and shape, ensuring long lasting comfort.
In conclusion, aside from being an incredible New Zealand made option, wool-containing pillows are a sustainable and comfortable choice. The natural properties of Taupo wool, coupled with the wool's eco-friendly production, make it a smart responsible choice for those looking for a better night's sleep while supporting locally made products. So, if you're considering a new pillow, why not embrace the comfort of a wool-containing pillow featuring locally sourced Taupo wool? It's a choice you can only feel good about.
