Woolroom Organic Washable British Wool Duvet (Warm 11-14 Tog, Super King)

Why does the duvet smell slightly sheepy when I first open it?

The wool inside is entirely natural and only double-scoured, so a faint sheepy scent can linger after unpacking. This is normal and not a fault. The smell fades within a few hours. Airing the duvet in a well-ventilated room before use speeds up the process considerably.

Can I actually machine wash this duvet at home?

Yes. Unlike most wool duvets that require dry cleaning, this one is designed to go in a domestic washing machine. Use a wool or delicate cycle at 40 degrees with a wool-specific detergent. Keep the spin speed below 800RPM and always line dry. Do not tumble dry as this can damage the wool fibres.

What tog rating is this duvet and is it right for winter?

This is a warm weight duvet rated at 11-14 tog. That makes it suitable for cooler bedrooms and winter months when extra warmth is needed. Woolroom also offers lightweight (2-5 tog), medium (7-10 tog) and custom (2-15 tog) options if you need something different for other seasons.

Is this duvet suitable for people with allergies?

Yes. The duvet is approved by Allergy UK and wool naturally resists dust mites. Wool fibres create an environment that is less hospitable to the allergens that trigger reactions in sensitive sleepers, making this a practical choice for people prone to allergies or asthma.

How is the wool sourced and is it traceable?

Every fibre of British wool used in this duvet is tracked through Woolroom's Wool ID programme, which provides full traceability from the sheep to the finished product. The wool comes from British farms that are audited against the 5 Freedoms set out in the Animal Welfare Act 2019.

How much does this duvet weigh and what size is it?

This specific listing is the Super King size, measuring 260cm by 220cm. The finished duvet weighs approximately 4.7kg. Woolroom also makes this duvet in single, double and king sizes, each with a different filling weight suited to the dimensions.

What is the cover made from?

The cover is made from unbleached 300 thread count organic cotton. It's quilted to keep the wool filling evenly distributed, preventing the clumping or shifting that can happen with other natural fillings. Because it's unbleached, no dyes or harsh chemicals come into contact with the skin.

Does wool bedding really sleep better than down or polyester?

According to Woolroom's own research, this duvet delivers 25% better sleep compared with polyester or down and feather alternatives. This comes down to wool's superior moisture management and its ability to regulate body temperature through the night, reducing overheating and night sweats.
