About The Wool Room

The Wool Room sells wool duvets, pillows, mattress protectors and bedding, and a The Wool Room discount code is spent on a product that behaves unlike the synthetic or down bedding most people have slept under. Wool bedding is sold on a claim about temperature regulation rather than on a warmth rating, and understanding that difference is the whole point.

Wool duvets are not sold in togs

A tog rating measures insulation, which suits a duvet whose job is to trap heat. Wool works differently: the fibre absorbs and releases moisture vapour, which moderates the humidity next to your skin and therefore how warm you feel. So wool duvets are sold by weight in grams per square metre rather than by tog, and a lighter wool duvet can feel comfortable across more of the year than a mid-tog synthetic one. If you sleep hot, or share a bed with someone who does, that is the property being sold.

Weight, and why it feels heavier

Wool is denser than polyester filling, so a wool duvet is noticeably heavier for the same warmth. Many people like that and some do not. It also drapes closer to the body rather than puffing up, which changes how the bed looks as much as how it feels.

Washing and what not to do

Most wool duvets and pillows are not machine washable, which is why a washable cotton cover or protector is part of the system rather than an accessory. Where a product is washable, it needs a wool cycle and drying flat, and it must never be tumble dried: heat felts wool irreversibly. Airing a wool duvet outside on a dry day does more for it than any wash.

Allergy claims, read precisely

Wool's moisture handling makes the surface less hospitable to dust mites, and several products are tested and labelled on that basis. That is a claim about mites, not a cure for allergy or asthma, and a small number of people are sensitive to lanolin or find wool itchy against skin. If a child in the house has a diagnosed allergy, take the advice of your GP over any product page.

Using a The Wool Room discount code

Enter the code before payment and check the figure. Bundles of duvet and pillows sold as a sleep set are usually priced as an offer already and will not take more off, and sale lines and gift vouchers sit outside. Duvets are bulky, so confirm the delivery charge separately.
