The South Island Secret: Alpaca Wool in Eiderdown's Bedding Collection

At Eiderdown, we like to think about ourselves as a facilitator of the best possible night's sleep and we are always excited to bring you a little something to make your sleep experience even dreamier.

Introducing alpaca wool. Sourced from trusted farmers in New Zealand's South Island, this exceptional material adds a touch of luxury to your bedroom, and we're confident you'll love it as much as we do.

The Elegance of Alpaca Wool

Alpaca wool, known for its sumptuous texture, brings new levels of comfort and elegance to Eiderdown's collection. Alpaca wool fibres are exceptionally soft, creating a bedding experience that feels like a gentle embrace. Unlike other materials, alpaca wool is naturally hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for those with allergies and sensitivities. This luxurious material enhances your sleep, enclosing you in a cocoon of comfort.

As alpaca wool possesses inherent temperature-regulating properties this collection is ideal for the diverse climates of Australia. Whether it's a chilly winter night or a warm summer evening, alpaca wool lets you stay snug without overheating, offering the perfect balance for a restful sleep.

Sustainability in Every Thread

Eiderdown is proudly committed to sustainability. The alpaca wool used in our bedding products is sourced ethically and responsibly. Alpaca farming is inherently eco-friendly, requiring minimal resources compared to other livestock. These animals have a lower environmental impact, making them an Earth-friendly alternative in textile production.

The South Island Connection

The alpaca wool journey begins in the pristine landscapes of New Zealand's South Island. This is a very special region blessed with a unique climate. Crisp fresh air and lush pastures contribute to the exceptional quality of alpaca wool. Eiderdown's dedication to sourcing this wool locally ensures that every piece of bedding is infused with the essence of the South Island, making it a truly authentic experience.

Benefits for Australian Sleepers

From pillows to cot quilts to inners for all seasons, Eiderdown's alpaca wool bedding products help you sleep better in Australia's changeable climate. Alpaca's smooth fibres allow us to create a beautifully soft fleece that is 25% warmer than sheep's wool, making them warm and cosy for cold winter nights. The wool's breathability keeps the temperature under the covers comfortable in warmer weather. Whether you choose a winter weight quilt, a summer weight quilt or our versatile Four Seasons quilt, Eiderdown's range of alpaca bedding means a good night's sleep for every Aussie.

Bliss in the Bedroom

There's a lot to love about Eiderdown's range of alpaca bedding. It might be the comforting warmth of the alpaca wool quilt, its natural hypoallergenic health benefit or knowing you have made a sustainable choice. Here is why Marie O. loves her  Four Seasons Quilt: "My sister recommended this to me due to our menopausal age. I highly recommend it. It's so light but very warm. My husband loves it, as he normally gets piled on with unwanted bedding due to my overheating. We are currently using the summer weight and are looking forward to progressing into winter. Go for it, ladies. You won't look back. Fabulous quick delivery. Can't fault this product. Very content. Thank you."
