This article is excerpted from Natura's website, www.naturaworld.com. They are premiere manufacturers of clean and healthy beds and sleep solutions.

Try as they may, scientists have not been able to produce a single fiber to match the properties of wool. Its unique attributes, which give it superior performance compared to traditional fibers, make it the ideal choice for healthy bedding. From the top producers of wool bedding in North America comes the Natura Classic Series, a bedding collection that ensures you get the rest you need, defying traditional sleep materials. Using 100% unbleached cotton casing and pure wool fill, Natura wool bedding offers a luxurious, healthy sleep environment.

Natural Climate Zone

During the night, the average person can lose up to a pint of moisture, which is commonly trapped under the covers and around the body, creating a damp, clammy environment. This humidity can result in increased heart rate and blood pressure, and lead to disturbed sleep. When used in bedding, Natura wool creates an atmosphere free from thermal stress. The unique physical structure of Natura wool fibers allows it to absorb and store moisture as required, and to release it back into the environment. Natura wool fibers also have the ability to trap small pockets of air, providing insulating properties that keep you at the ideal temperature in every season and climate.

Natural Allergen-free Comfort

The resilience of Natura wool provides luxurious comfort and plush support. Using a full batt of wool, Natura's bedding provides evenly distributed cushioning to reduce pressure points and cradle the body. Clinically proven to reduce tossing and turning by over 50%, Natura wool helps minimize disturbances that can rob you of deep, rejuvenating sleep. Because of wool's natural ability to provide a fresh, dry sleeping area, the Natura bedding collection is perfect for allergy sufferers. A naturally hypoallergenic product, it is resistant to dust mites, mold and mildew. Surrounding yourself with Natura's wool bedding means saying goodbye to nagging nighttime allergies, and to waking up with a stuffy nose and puffy eyes.

Naturally Safe

In addition to the many remarkable qualities the Natura wool bedding collection offers, is the peace of mind you receive, knowing that you can sleep safely. Wool is the only fiber that naturally resists flaming. Due to its unique structure and natural moisture content, wool is difficult to ignite and is self-extinguishing.

The numerous health benefits the products offer, coupled with their luxurious, natural beauty continue to allow Natura's product line to sell itself easily and with great success.

It's a hot topic these days. While she complains of curling up at night to keep warm, he has to stick his leg out from underneath the duvet to cool off. Thermal imbalance is one of the key culprits in disruptive sleep. It can cause rapid heart rate, waking with a clammy feeling, and can lead to increased tossing and turning. Wool assists the body in regulating temperature and humidity. It has the ability to draw moisture away from the body into its core, and then release it back out into the environment. When used in bedding such as Natura's mattress pad, duvet & pillows, wool creates a dry, arid sleeping environment, which allows for a steadier heart rate and a significant decrease in tossing and turning. In turn, this provides you with a deeper, more restful sleep.
