Wool is a natural material used by man for thousands of years for the making of clothes and bedding, amongst other things. Numerous observations and research indicate beyond doubt that it possesses properties with a positive effect on  health. It has been used for many years with success in therapeutic and preventative medicine. The list of conditions where wool can be used is a long one.

Advantages of Wool Bedding

Sleep is one of man's most basic physiological needs, when many important functions take place. It is indispensable to everyday existence – vital energies can be regenerated, strength regained, concentration enhanced and resistence to stress increased. Hence the concern that it happens in favourable conditions.  The use of Torpol®  Wool Bedding helps in the creation of comfortable conditions for healthy and soothing sleep.

Wool Bedding lets the air in and allows the body to breathe through the skin. The natural property of wool ( the contraction and expansion of hair) ensures a flow of air attuned to the temperature. It is a natural thermoregulator. It can be used successfully all year round – in winter it provides warmth and in summer protection against excessive perspiration and overheating.

Of various natural fibres, sheep's hair possesses the highest absorption of moisture – up to 43%. For this reason wool is capable of absorbing great amounts of perspiration, which is dispelled in the process of ventilation, ensuring true freshness.

Sheep's wool contains lanolin, a natural animal fat which coats the hairs and prevents them from becoming dirty. Fleeces are an environment which do not allow the development of bacteria or mites and in this way Wool Bedding might be called hypoallergenic. 

One of the most harmful aspects of synthetic materials and fibres is their great effectiveness in loading their surroundings with positive ions which deregulate the body and especially the nervous system, provoking extreme fatigue, lowered immunity and hyperactivity. Wool eliminates positive ionization, replacing it with negative ionization, more natural for the human body.

A micromassage with natural wool improves the circulation and ensures blood-flow to the cells. The systematic use of wollen materials is recommended in preventative health-care.

Woolen products can be used to treat bed-ridden patients as it prevents cases of intertigo or bedsores.
