Used for centuries, wool is regaining a place in the modern household. People are looking for ways to get back to a more natural, greener, chemical free way of living and going back to basics. Lambs wool is an excellent place to start.
Unlike synthetic fabrics, merino wool is breathable. Air can circulates through the fibers making the wool very comfortable. It keeps you warm in cool weather and despite misconceptions, cooler in hot temperatures. Because of wools ability to absorb about 30% of it weight in water and not feel damp to the touch, it is efficient at wicking away sweat to regulate body temperature.
Unlike many materials found around the house, wool is self-disinfecting and anti-bacterial, naturally. No bleach or other harsh chemicals are required to make it germ and odor free. All you need is fresh air.
The merino sheep has been prized for hundreds of years for its fine, soft wool. This is the kind of wool that is found in Snuggle Wool products. Retaining all the desirable properties of merino wool, Snuggle Wool products are washable as well. This makes them perfect for everyday use.
A greener more environmentally sound material, you can feel safe using wool near your baby. Cambridge University studies show that babies who sleep on lambs wool feel swaddled. This results in better sleep, greater contentment and even healthy weight gain. In fact, hospitals in Australia, New Zealand and England use lambs wool pads to line their incubators. Because Snuggle Wool fleece pads are made 100% from the fine wool of the merino sheep and carefully treated to be washable, you can use and clean them with confidence.
You can pamper yourself as well. Luxurious, easy to care for and comfortable, Snuggle Wool blankets are good for year round use.
Snuggle Wool also has a full line of MediWool pads for home and health care use. Because of its water absorbing, anti-bacterial and body-temperature regulating properties merino wool is perfect for these applications. Wool is also valuable in the prevention of bedsores and pressure points to allow for more restful sleep and healing.
You might begin to use Snuggle Wool products for greener, chemical free living, but you’ll keep using them for the ease, the comfort and the luxury.
