We believe it's important for children to have the best conditions for achieving a comfortable and uninterrupted night's sleep. A Cocoon wool duvet is a cool, breathable, and temperature-regulating all-year duvet that can help create the right environment for your child. The lightness of merino wool allows the duvet to regulate the heat around the body and transport excess moisture and heat away, ensuring a temperate and dry night's sleep for your child. This is especially important for infants, as young children can struggle to regulate their body temperature. This can lead to overheating and sweating. Therefore, it's crucial that the baby duvet is good enough to help the child regulate heat and moisture.

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

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

Which thickness should I choose?

A good rule of thumb is:

• If the wool duvet is primarily used in the warmer half of the year, or only indoors, the light version is a good choice.
• If the wool duvet is also to be used in colder months, and you generally seek an all-year duvet, the medium (standard) version is a good choice.
• If the wool duvet is primarily used in the cold months, and only outdoors, the heavy version is a good choice.

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 excellent insulators. The good insulation provides a lovely feeling during the cold months when we want to retain as much heat as possible. It's really nice until the duvet and mattress have warmed up to body temperature. After that, the body needs to get rid of the excess heat and moisture. This is where feathers and down often fall short.

Many believe that wool is just a warm fiber, only suitable for winter. However, the truth is that wool possesses unparalleled properties for regulating temperature and moisture, making it suitable for both cold and warm weather. Wool uses your body temperature to generate heat, and when it gets too warm, it absorbs the moisture around the body and cools it 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 weight in water and moisture without feeling wet, keeping your body dry and warm. It's also the lanolin content in merino wool that prevents your duvet from smelling of sweat and creates an antibacterial environment that dust mites cannot live in. However, it's only in untreated wool that the lanolin is retained, so there is a significant difference between a duvet with untreated wool and a regular wool duvet.

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

From the Spanish mountains to your home

The Merino sheep is the world's most numerous sheep breed, originally from Spain, but now widespread worldwide. For our Cocoon merino wool products, we only use wool from Merino sheep that roam the mountains daily. These sheep produce longer wool due to the colder mountain air. Since we only use wool fibers over 8 cm, our wool duvets feel lighter and more airy, while also being more breathable and better at regulating temperature.

When selecting our merino wool, it's crucial that the production of the merino wool is done with animal welfare in mind. We have a strict policy of only using 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 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-year 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.

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

Which thickness should I choose?

A good rule of thumb is:

• If you often feel too warm at night and struggle with sweating during the night, even if you sleep cool, then the light version is a really good choice for you. If you really struggle with the heat, to the extent that even summer duvets feel too warm, then try looking at our wool summer duvet, which is even thinner than the light wool duvet. If there's a duvet that can help with the heat - it's this one.
• If you often feel warm and find yourself having to push your normal duvet aside to cool down, or if you experience both warm and cold nights, then the medium (standard) version is a good choice for you.
• If you often feel cold and are a bit of a cold-blooded person, then the heavy version is a really good choice.

What you need to be aware of with wool, which is very different from other duvets, is that the temperature range a wool duvet can handle is much broader than that of a regular duvet. While feather and down duvets often come in many thicknesses for different room temperatures and seasons, a Cocoon wool duvet can cover multiple seasons and much larger fluctuations in room temperatures. This is due to the wool duvet's incredible breathability and unique temperature-regulating properties. A person who often feels warm and a person who often feels cold can easily sleep under the same duvet, as the duvet will cool one while warming the other.
