Wool Mattress Covers and Wool Duvets for a better sleep

http://www.sheepskinstuff.com/Wool_Duvets_and_Wool_Mattress_Covers_s/1819.htm

There are many benefits from sleeping with wool bedding products.
Here is some basic info about wool fibres and the advantages of using our wool duvets and wool mattress covers.
The primary advantage of wool bedding is that it is naturally insulating and helps to maintain your body's regular temperature all year round. This is caused by the breathe-ability of the spring fibers.
Wool absorbs up to 30% of its own weight of moisture before it begins to feel damp. We all perspire about one litre of moisture per night and only wool can wick this dampness away, providing a dry and warm comfort year long. Down feather, polyester, or silk bedding simply can't match this.

You've probably heard claims and acclamation's of high cotton thread counts on Down duvets and quilts. Although this does make for a nice finishing touch, there's another hidden reason that it is necessary for Down products: Down feathers after a few years naturally begin to break down. Over time, the feathers and shafts (calamus) will eventually break down into a fine dust. (perhaps you've seen this when you fluff or 'clap' a pillow between your hands) and the high cotton thread count (very tightly woven cotton) is required to keep that dust contained. This is why it's quite common for people to assume that they have become allergic to their down duvet after a few years of use. The tightly woven cotton means that the quilt is not breathable, and all the bacteria (from your sweat) will culture without any release between dry-cleans.

Wool duvets http://www.sheepskinstuff.com/Wool_Filled_Duvet_Full_Queen_p/bed-duvet-f-q.htm  consist of wool fibres packed into a loosely woven cotton covering. They are very breathable as well as 100% natural, non allergenic, and also non flammable and self extinguishing.

Wool mattress covers http://www.sheepskinstuff.com/Wool_Mattress_Overlay_Queen_p/bed-mattress-q.htm are machine washable and equipped with a fully fitted skirt to reduce shifting. You can sleep directly on wool or lay your fitted sheet over the wool pile.

Sheepskin Rugs and Seat Covers in Canada

http://www.sheepskinstuff.com/Sheepskin_Rugs_s/1814.htm
Sheepskin Rugs and seat covers are quickly proving to be the most popular products at the new online store, while many of our wholesale accounts focus on slippers and gloves.
We assume that this is because slippers and gloves are more often an impulse purchase or a great gift idea.
Sheepskin rugs and seat covers are more of a specialty product. And although people usually know a little about these products, they usually don't know where to find them.
Our sheepskin rugs are in Home Outfitters right across Canada from Victoria to Halifax and every store in between. Our wool bedding products, duvets and mattress overlays, are also in about 15 of the Home Outfitter stores. Try stopping by your local store to touch and feel our rugs!
Our sheepskin Rugs are in lots of other shops across Canada. If you contact us then we can let you know if there is a dealer near you where you can go and see the product first hand.
stay cozy,

The Blog has been created!
This Blog is owned and operated by Southern Cross Sheepskins Inc. A family owned and operated distributor of sheepskin products in Vancouver, BC. It has been created in support of our newly revamped website, www.Sheepskinstuff.com. Our goal is to reach the end consumer, the curious reader, and everyone in between with knowledge and info about quality sheepskin products.

We will use this Blog to post some useful and practical information about Sheepskin products, the sheepskin industry, the internationally traded commodity of Wool, etc, etc.

Wool has many natural benefits that we will post about here as time goes on.We will also keep as up to date as possible with Research & Development within the industry and post any interesting findings here on this blog.

Sheepskin and wool products are made world-wide. The most common geographic areas are Australia, New Zealand, southern South America, Mongolia, & Eastern Europe (Greece and Turkey). With smaller markets in North America, Europe, and the UK.

All of our products are made of Australian and NZ origin skins and there's a simple reason (other than the fact that our family is Australian). All over the world wool is and has been a by-product of agriculture and the lamb business for thousands of years. Both Australia and New Zealand have been recently settled and introduced to sheep within the past 200+ years. Only in Australia and New Zealand have sheep been raised for their wool quality as well as meat quality. This is why Australian and NZ pelts and skins are so much thicker, softer, and stronger than other breeds in different parts of the world, and thus the demand for plush products made of this great natural material.
