Is your mattress making you hotter? Dreamwool Beds
Rest easier this summer with breathable, all-natural comfort.
Moving into spring and summer means finding ways to stay cool, no matter the weather outside. One of the best ways to do this is by choosing a mattress made with high-quality natural materials, says director of Dreamwool Beds David Henderson. “It’s easy to blame the summer temperatures when you overheat at night, but the truth is that your bed could be making things worse. Synthetic materials and memory foam can’t breathe, which means that they trap heat and become progressively hotter overnight.”
To avoid night sweats, discomfort, and interrupted sleep, it’s important to select a mattress with generous comfort layers of the finest all-natural materials, David says. “Merino wool moves the dial in terms of comfort and temperature neutrality. We’ve understood this since the beginning of Dreamwool, when owner Edgar Henderson remembered the old-fashioned black merino singlets worn by his sheep shearers – how they acted as natural insulators, adjusting to changes in temperature during the day to maximise comfort and create perfect balance.” From there, Dreamwool’s first woollen overlay was created, and ever since thousands have enjoyed their quality, handcrafted merino wool and all-natural latex mattresses.
Renowned for its unparalleled softness, high fibre density, and moisture-wicking ability, merino is ideal for warmer sleepers and warmer seasons, but it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting, warns David. “There are a lot of bed manufacturers now claiming to have wool in their mattresses, when the reality is that they’re using very little. When you go shopping for a new mattress, be sure to ask what’s inside and view samples. At Dreamwool, we use merino in meaningful volumes so that our customers can truly feel the benefit; we’re not leaving anything out.”
A luxuriously breathable, all-natural merino wool mattress is an investment, David says, and one that is very worth making. “You spend a third of your life in bed; why would you want to scrimp on comfort? With fewer than 500 luxury mattresses made each year, you know you are getting something rather special.
“Every all-natural Dreamwool mattress is carefully handmade in Christchurch; our customers can expect a sleep experience that is second to none. Your mattress isn’t pre-made in a plastic bag waiting to be shipped. It will be handcrafted individually for you here at Dreamwool Beds, 96 Disraeli Street in Sydenham.”
