The Elegance of Merino Wool Quilts

by Rebecca Rankin 28 May 2024

Merino wool quilts embody luxury and elegance, wrapping you in an indulgent and refined experience. Crafted from the finest Merino wool sourced in New Zealand, these doonas combine the delicious softness and exceptional qualities of one of nature's most loved fibres. Known for its lightness and smooth texture, Merino wool envelops you in a gentle, comforting embrace for a beautiful night's sleep.

What Is It About Merino Wool?

Eiderdown’s Merino wool is sourced from New Zealand’s South Island and it is renowned for its unique softness and finesse. As you touch a Merino wool doona, you'll instantly recognise its fine, smooth texture as it caresses your skin. This wool is lighter and softer than other types of wool, making it a dream to wrap yourself in.

New Zealand Merino wool doonas add sophistication to any sleeping space, transforming a bed into a sanctuary of indulgence for a deeply relaxing experience.

Breathability and Temperature Regulation

One of the most remarkable qualities of Merino wool doonas is their breathability. Unlike other materials that trap heat and leave you feeling too warm, Merino wool can regulate your body temperature naturally.

The wool acts as a buffer, taking in the heat from your body and transferring it away, ensuring you stay cool and comfortable throughout the night. The same wool retains your body's warmth in colder months, providing cosy, gentle insulation. The result is a sleeping environment that adapts to your needs, offering adaptable comfort in every season.

Moisture-Wicking Abilities? No Sweat

If you've ever woken up in a sweat, you know how uncomfortable it can be. Merino wool's natural moisture-wicking properties keep you dry (but still snug) all night. The wool absorbs any moisture from your skin and releases it into the air so you stay comfortable and your doona remains fresh. This makes Merino wool doonas ideal for anyone who tends to perspire during sleep.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

For those who value sustainability and ethical sourcing, Merino wool doonas check all the boxes. Merino wool is a renewable resource sourced from sheep that are treated humanely. New Zealand wool growers are known for cultivating the highest quality Merino wool using eco-friendly farming methods. While synthetic materials rely on non-renewable fossil fuels, Merino wool is a natural fibre grown continuously by Merino sheep. They produce new fleece each year, making Merino wool a fully renewable resource.

Even better, Merino wool is biodegradable, ensuring that your doona will not harm the planet when it reaches the end of its lifecycle. By choosing New Zealand Merino wool, you're making an eco-conscious decision without sacrificing luxury or quality.

Additional Benefits

As well as its temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking abilities, Merino wool offers several other benefits that contribute to a better night's sleep:

Hypoallergenic 

Merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic and rarely causes any allergic reactions. This is particularly important for those with sensitive skin or respiratory problems.

Naturally Fire-Resistant 

Merino wool is inherently flame-resistant, making it a safer bedding option than many other materials. It won't melt or catch fire easily, offering peace of mind as you sleep.

Dust Mite Resistant 

Merino wool's moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties make it inhospitable to dust mites. This means your doona stays clean and fresh for a healthier sleeping environment.

Merino wool quilts are the epitome of luxury bedding. Their softness, breathability, moisture-wicking abilities and sustainability make them a premium choice for bedding comfort and sophistication. When you wrap yourself in one of these doonas, you're not just enveloping yourself in warmth but also embracing an eco-friendly, high-quality experience that will enhance your sleep and overall well-being.
