Naturewarm bedding is made in Great Britain from British Wool, a renewable, natural fibre from a sustainable source. We spend about a third of our lives asleep. When we sleep, our bodies repair themselves. A bed that is too warm or too cold can disrupt sleep: wool is the ideal material for producing a stable micro-climate for the sleeper. A steady, comfortable temperature promotes a lower heart rate, resulting in deeper, more restful sleep. Look to Mother Nature to provide the perfect materials for your bed: British wool encased in 100% cotton.
