Why buy Dooley’s Wool Bedding?

Dooley’s have been in the Irish wool business for over 60 years.

We only source our wool from local Irish farmers and our products are 100% pure Irish wool, using cotton covers and recyclable, reusable packaging. Wool is one of the most natural, sustainable and environmentally friendly fibres available and has been proven to improve sleep by up to 25% when used in bedding. Here are just some of the great facts about our 100% Irish wool products:

#1 temperature regulating

Wool duvets and pillows naturally regulate body temperature.

If you get hot at night or suffer from night-sweats, the natural properties of a wool duvet will help regulate your body temperature and keep you cool during the night. If you are cold, the wool is highly insulative and make great winter duvets. The temperature regulative qualities mean less overheating, hence a more restful night.

#2 hypo-allergenic

Wool contains natural anti-allergenic properties making them a great choice for children and allergy-sufferers, especially those who suffer from asthma.

Due to the naturally hypoallergenic material, wool filled duvets effectively repel dust mites so you can rest easy knowing these allergens are being whisked away as you sleep. In addition, the hypoallergenic properties make it eminently suitable for asthma and allergy sufferers.

#3 sustainable

Pure wool is 100% natural, renewable, sustainable and biodegradable.

Because of its high-performance characteristics, it is washed less often and at lower temperatures and line dried, meaning it has a low climate impact. Wool products have long lifespans and are recyclable, meaning they are used or worn longer than other textile fibre products. If you love the planet, use more wool!

#4 biodegradable

Wool naturally biodegrades in land and water.

It does not contribute to the global microplastics and microfibre challenge we are faced with. Wool will biodegrade in the ground after 6 months compared to synthetic fibres which can take anything from 20-200 years, since they are predominantly made from plastic. In addition, as it biodegrades it slowly releases valuable nutrients and carbon back into the soil.

#5 air-purifying

Wool products can improve the air quality in your home by absorbing toxic VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which are released from many products found in our homes.

Wool is also flame resistant and does not burn and when exposed to high temperatures does not produce toxic gases. Thus, choosing wool products increases the safety of your home.
