- INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATIONS: Manufacturer is periodically audited by quality assurance organizations. This product was tested & certified by independent international organizations OEKO TEX and WOOLMARK. These certifications mean that the wool used for this comforter is pure wool and the product doesn't contain any harsh chemicals. ECO-FRIENDLY: Manufacturing of polyester/down alternative bedding releases air pollutants while wool is self-renewable resource that doesn't affect the environment.
- THERMOREGULATORY: Helps regulate body temperature & allows the skin to breathe. Recommended for those who experience night sweats or hot flashes. Thermostatic properties of camel hair regulate temperature under all thermal conditions. It makes human body warmer in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures. This is how Mongolian camels got adapted to extreme temperature fluctuations in the desert where the temperature ranges from 100 degrees in summer to minus 40 degrees in winter.
- HYPOALLERGENIC: Ideal solution for those who are allergic to polyester or other artificial fibers. Wool sanitized with non-toxic detergent. Dust-mite resistant. Encased in dense fabric that prevents shedding. Not treated with fire retardant or any harsh chemicals. ANTIBACTERIAL: Wool is naturally antibacterial and doesn't have to be cleaned as often. MOISTURE WICKING: Wool absorbs liquid without feeling damp or losing its insulating properties. It wicks away sweat keeping the skin dry.
- WOOL SUPERIOR TO SYNTHETICS: Camel wool is more durable and lighter than lambswool. Compared to goose down, wool comforters have no poking/flying feathers and filling doesn't shift like it does in feather filled comforters. Unlike polyester/down alternative bedding, wool comforters are antistatic (don't cling to the skin), lighter, temperature regulating (won't feel overheated), don't harbor dust mites, safer (wool is fire proof) & biodegradable (synthetic clutter landfills for many decades).
CUSTOMER REVIEWS AVAILABLE AT WWW.ORGANIC-COMFORT.COM. Camel wool is one of the most expensive kinds of wool and is generally considered superior to other types of wool. The best camel wool is gathered from two-humped Bactrian camels. Bacterian camels have two types of wool: 1. the outer protective fur called guard hair, which is coarse and inflexible and 2. fine, fluffy, soft shorter fiber of the insulating undercoat called cashmere or down. The wool is collected by hand, plucked, combed or shorn away during the molting season. Adult camel can produce only 10 to 20 lbs of wool annually. Since it is a premium fiber, camel hair is usually blended with other types of wool to make it more economical. Blending also makes the coarse guard hair soft and plush. Camel wool is known for its thermostatic properties. It stabilizes the temperature by insulating the animal from the extreme cold conditions in the desert at night and keeping it cool from the heat in the day. Camel hair is lightweight because it is hollow. The hollow space in the center acts as a vacuum making the wool super insulating without added weight. Camel hair provides the best insulation of all the types of wool, which is why it is used for comforters, coats & Mongolian yurts (tents). Camels produce longer fibers than sheep, which results in a more durable product and camel wool comforters are likely to outlast other natural fiber comforters. Like lamb wool, camel hair wicks away moisture caused by perspiration and breathing. Like lamb wool, camel hair naturally repels moisture and dirt so it is inherently clean. On average, camel wool fibers are finer than most lamb wool, which results in a softer, more delicate feel. Unlike synthetic fiber, wool is biodegradable and won't clutter landfills at the end of its useful life. Cultivation of wool doesn't affect environment while manufacturing of synthetics releases air pollutants.
