A good night's sleep is essential for our health, as most people know. Therefore, we believe it's important to give yourself the best conditions for achieving as comfortable and uninterrupted a night's sleep as possible. A Cocoon wool duvet is a cool, breathable, and temperature-regulating all-season duvet that can help create the right conditions for just that. The lightness of merino wool allows the duvet to regulate the heat around the body and transport excess moisture and heat away from the body, so you will experience a temperate and dry night's sleep.

Our wool duvet is filled with 100% untreated merino wool and covered with a cover of certified organic cotton.
What makes our Cocoon merino wool duvet special:

• Temperature-regulating & moisture-wicking
• 100% organic and chemical-free materials
• Naturally hypoallergenic & dust mite-free
• Unique carding

Why choose a wool duvet?

Most people can relate to the experience of a feather or down duvet becoming very warm during the night. You get so warm that you need to lift the duvet a bit during the night to cool down. This is because feathers and down are both fantastic at insulating. The good insulation provides a really nice feeling during the cold months when we want to retain as much heat as possible. It's really nice until you've warmed the duvet and mattress to body temperature. After that, the body needs to get rid of the excess heat and moisture. This is where feathers and down unfortunately often fall short.

Many have the perception that wool is also just a warm fiber, only suitable for winter. The truth is, however, that wool possesses unrivaled properties in terms of temperature and moisture regulation, making it suitable for both cold and warm weather. Wool uses your body temperature to generate heat, and when it gets too warm, the wool absorbs the moisture around the body and cools the body down. The secret behind the wool fiber's incredible breathability is the lanolin-rich surface, which allows the fiber to absorb large amounts of moisture. Merino wool can absorb 35% of its own weight in water and moisture without feeling wet and continues to keep your body dry and warm. It is also the lanolin content in merino wool that ensures your duvet does not smell of sweat and creates an antibacterial environment that dust mites cannot live in. However, it is only in untreated wool that the lanolin is still retained, and therefore there will be a big difference between a duvet with untreated wool and a regular wool duvet.

Merino wool is distinguished by having slightly twisted fibers, making the wool perfect for carding into a fluffy soft 'cloud' of wool fibers. This makes the sleep products wonderfully soft and pliable, which will undoubtedly benefit any sleep. To ensure the most breathable and temperature-regulating sleep product possible, we only use merino wool fibers that are over 8 cm. The longer fibers will create a more airy and lighter fill. This makes the duvet feel light, breathable, and incredibly body-neutral in its temperature.

From the Spanish mountains to your home

The Merino sheep is the world's most numerous sheep breed and originally comes from Spain, but is now widespread throughout the world. For our Cocoon merino wool products, only wool from Merino sheep that roam the mountains daily is used. These sheep produce longer wool due to the colder air in the mountains. When selecting our merino wool, it is crucial that the production of the merino wool is done in the animals' best interest. We therefore have a strict policy that we only use wool from sheep that are free-range, sheared in a fair and proper manner, and not subjected to mulesing. Therefore, we exclusively use Spanish merino wool, where mulesing is not practiced.

A silk duvet is suitable for those who want a hypoallergenic duvet with fantastic breathability and excellent temperature-regulating properties. The hollow structure of the silk fiber is what gives silk its unique absorption ability, allowing moisture to be easily transported through the fiber. This provides the duvet with fantastic breathability and ensures a dry and comfortable sleeping environment throughout the night. As dust mites and mold do not thrive in these environments, silk duvets are often recommended for allergy sufferers and asthmatics.

Silk duvets are a thinner duvet, as the silk fibers are incredibly thin and lie very close together in the carding. Many mistakenly believe that a silk duvet can only be used as a summer duvet. However, a silk duvet can be used all year round, due to the fiber's hollow structure. The hollow structure allows the silk fiber to respond quickly to changing temperatures in the sleeping environment, creating a thermoregulating effect around the body. This means that regardless of whether you tend to feel cold or too warm, a silk duvet will always adapt to your body's needs.

The sad truth is that most of us either do not wish to understand or are indifferent to how conventional silk is produced. The result is that hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions of silkworms are killed each year before they can become silk moths. All because we as consumers demand products made with silk, without thinking more about the consequences.
