With summer break coming to an end and the school year about to start, families are trying to get back in rhythm. Between morning dropโoffs and afternoons full with activities, itโs a busy season. No wonder kids need consistently good sleep to feel their best. They need it to stay focused in class. They also need it to avoid getting sick during the school year. Plus, they need that energy to enjoy all the fun stuff too. Whether itโs playdates or birthday parties, they wonโt want to miss a thing. And letโs be honest, parents need that solid rest just as much. At least if they want to keep up with everything the school year throws at them.
Good sleep, unfortunately, doesnโt just happen on its own. It starts with the right setup. And on that you have to work a bit but a simple bedtime routine and cozy, breathable bedding can make all the difference and do much of the work. When we say cozy and breathable bedding, thinkย wool duvets,ย wool pillows, andย wool mattress toppers.ย The top three essentials your bed needs for some great nightโs rest.
In this post, weโll cover why wool is such a game changer and how adding just the mentioned above three wool pieces, can turn your kids bed into a cozy retreat. Yours as well.
Why Choose Wool?
Wool is probably the noblest natural fiber out there. Itโs brimming with unique qualities that make it the best for sleep, especially for growing kids and busy families.
Wool works with your body. In harmony! It keeps you from getting too hot or too cold during sleep. It also doesnโt attract dust mites or mold. A great relief if you have allergies. Plus, it lasts for ages and is better for the environment than a lot of other materials. Totally biodegradable. It doesnโt take much to see the difference. Switching to a wool duvet, pillow, or topper can really improve your sleep.
