We have a baavet http://www.baavet.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=common/home.
It used to take me ages to get warm in bed but I haven't had this problem since we switched to a wool duvet. It seems to regulate my body temperature somehow as I never get too hot either. I would 100% recommend. They have stalls at many shows around wales and the borders and quite often have special deals on (actually just looked and they have 25% off on their website until the end of the month). We bought the pillows too but I'm not as keen on these - they seem to have compacted and become quite solid - perhaps I have a heavy head!

Ah was just coming on to recommend them! Harlech based , and they often have slight seconds. Great product and great UK manufactured producr

I'm definitely leaning towards a wool duvet and have spent most of this evening looking at various websites. It's interesting what hafod has said about the pillows though. Anyone else had this experience?

I haven't had my wool pillows very long, but the info does say to plump them up fairly often, which I do do.

The wool inside is like little sausages - polystyrene bead sized, but elongated into sausages.  They do compact if you don't plump them up for a couple of nights, but so far have fluffed up nicely when I've plumped.

We've got a mattress topper, duvet and pillows from the Wool Room. It's our second one because we chnaged from a double bed to a superking sized to accommodate the cats  I kid you not - all three sleep on the bed and two of them are big cats (not lions or tigers, but fair sized moggies).

I love the wool duvet and topper; not so keen on the pillows - maybe I need to do more plumping

I have a merino wool one I bought from Dunelm.  It is brilliant and on its third winter.  It cost £60 in the sale.  Down or feathers trigger my asthma.

40 years ago  i made a tiny 1 room stone house , thatched with reed , lovely little place . Anyway , i made a matress and sort of duvet out of sheep fleece sacks and wool , all washed etc , a bit lumpy but very warm and comfy when kept plumped up .

Do any of you ladies who suffer from "power surges" (sound so much better than hot flushes) at night, have a woollen duvet and mattress topper?  Seriously considering this to try and regulate my body temp at night.  Currently sleeping under a 4 tog duvet with no heating in my room.  freezing when I go to bed and BOILING during the night!

I hang an arm and a leg out of the covers several times a night but otherwise ok, far better than the microfibre duvet where the whole of me was exposed until I got cold.

I have wool pillows and they certainly help with this.  I'll be buying wool duvets/toppers in the future.

I'm now wondering if some of my excess of fleeces can be turned into a duvet.

[Bionic]

Well I have just bought the wool all seasons duvet and matress protector from the Wool Room. I was undecided about the pillows though so have bought a savoy pillow for myself. OH can't make up his mind so we are going to road test mine first 

[Lesley Silvester]

Both of you on one pillow? Cosy.

[Beeducked]

Been wondering about this for a while. We have a duck down duvet and it's great generally but OH and I have very different ideas about what is a normal temperature. I also don't always sleep very well and anything that might improve this is worth trying. The current discount is a bonus!


Has made me wonder about making my own batting for quilting though! Spent the other half of the evening looking at drum carders1

He can't make up his mind so I have left him with his old one for the time being.
The duvet should arrive today (only ordered yesterday) bed is all stripped and waiting so can give it a run tonight

I have an ordinary, Argos microfibre duvet, but I also have Jim, a chilly soul! a whippet and the occasional grandchild in bed with me so I suffer from overheating and am very interested in this topic.
Surely it wouldn't be beyond me to make one? A question though, how would you clean them? Could they go through the washer on a wool wash?  Or would you have to have them dry cleaned. At present I hang our duvet out in the fresh air twice a week, weather permitting. Would this do for fleece?
