Duvet made of virgin wool or down? A comparison
Most people use down comforters - but they've probably never really thought about it. Reason enough to write down in detail why sheep’s wool blankets are the much better choice:
1. Filling and Care
Down comforters contain the body-hugging, small and fine feathers of ducks and geese. They act as a heat insulator and keep the duvet warm. However, when down comforters are no longer brand new, the down quickly clumps together and the comforter becomes unwieldy and heavy.
Sheep's wool blankets, on the other hand, contain freshness virgin wool of living sheep. IIts fine fibers are heat-insulating and breathable at the same time. Sheep's wool blankets are much easier to care for - regular shaking and airing is enough.
2. Sleep climate and humidity
Down blankets also keep you warm. But you probably know the feeling of waking up overheated and sweating. This is because down comforters cannot regulate moisture.
This is what makes blankets made from virgin sheep’s wool so powerful. Not only do they keep you warm even at extremely low temperatures, but they can also absorb moisture and release it later. The result is a self-regulating, balanced sleeping environment in which you feel completely comfortable without sweating.
3. Health Aspects
Duvets and down offer an ideal breeding ground for house dust mites and are often responsible for undetected allergies.
Blankets made of sheep shearing wool On the other hand, they benefit from their hypoallergenic properties, which deter mites thanks to the lanolin contained in the wool fiber.
4. Animal cruelty
Sheep's wool is painlessly obtained exclusively from live sheep.
Down, on the other hand, is literally ripped out of ducks and geese - mostly from live animals in so-called live plucking. That's not animal protection.

Virgin sheep's wool duvet advantages at a glance
In addition to the comparison with down duvets, it is also worth looking at the general advantages of sheep's wool duvets. These were the basic idea when founding MedSalus - to process the finest sheep's wool in Merino quality into hand-made sheep's wool duvets.
Sheep's wool is a naturally renewable raw material. Sheep don't have to be killed to get wool - on the contrary. In many wool-producing countries around the world, it is common practice to herd entire flocks of sheep across the countryside and shear them twice a year. In addition, sheep's wool is naturally biodegradable and therefore environmentally friendly. If you were to throw sheep's wool into nature, it would completely decompose in a very short time.
Sheep's wool does not require any chemical treatment or additives. In our own production, for example, it is sufficient to roughly clean the wool after extraction - because when the sheep are kept free-range there is no contamination from excrement. Duvets made from virgin sheep's wool are the ideal resource-saving natural product. There is also the positive side effect that sheep's wool is self-cleaning and odor-inhibiting, so regular ventilation is usually sufficient as care.
Last but not least, sheep's wool duvets are a high-quality and long-lasting product. Simply due to the fact that it is not a mass-produced product, You can be sure that you will enjoy your sheep's wool duvet for many years.
