Due to its characteristics, sheep wool is a raw material that has been present in the human environment for centuries. Its curly structure gives it a lot of airiness and softness. Due to its elasticity, it returns to its original state after pressure. It is usually dirty white in color. However, grayish, brownish, and black shades also appear, depending on the breed of sheep.
Wool is an excellent heat regulator that heats in winter and cools in summer. In winter, it retains heat around the body, and in summer, it emits moisture, which gives a cooling feeling. As it can absorb up to 35% water of its weight while still being dry to the touch, wool is an excellent material for use in natural fiber mattresses.
Wool absorbs unpleasant odors and prevents the accumulation of static electricity. It is naturally resistant to mites, dust, and mold and is self-extinguishing, which means it does not burn quickly and eliminates the need for chemical flame retardants in products.
