Sleep is a superpower and essential for good health, yet so many of us suffer from poor sleep. The natural, sustainable solution is Woolow — a wool pillow which aids restful sleep.
This Galway company has a range of luxurious pillows, duvets and mattress toppers which use just two ingredients — wool and cotton. The secret is in the wool which is natural, allergy free providing temperature control, and keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. Founder Michael Burke is an organic farmer with a background in pharma. He slept on a wool pillow as a boy and later learned why it was so comfortable. He worked in healthcare for many years before setting up Woolow.
The range of natural and lavender-infused Woolow pillows is beneficial for those with poor sleep and respiratory issues, because dust mites can’t survive in the cleaned, carded wool. The accompanying bespoke sleep sprays will form part of your sleep routine.
For women of a certain age, hot flushes are reduced by sleeping on wool. The temperature-controlling pillows are also more comfortable for people undergoing chemo. One customer stopped waking up at night to take an inhaler such was the improvement in her asthma. Others have reported a reduction in medication from sleeping on wool.
Just launched is a new selection of wool duvets and mattress toppers to accompany the Woolow pillows.
The pillows come in standard ( 19” x 29” ) and a king-size natural (19” x 36” ). Duvets range from single to superking, as do the mattress toppers.
Manufactured in Ireland, for peace of mind, these products come with a 50 night sleep guarantee.
Winner of the RDS Sustainable Agriculture Start Up Award in 2023, buying a Woolow product means that you are investing in your rest and in the health of our planet.
Care instructions: Do not machine wash. Tumble dry for 30 seconds on a low heat setting to plump up from time to time. The wool inside is pristine. Wipe the cover dry with a cloth, or treat like human hair and wash in a mild shampoo and naturally dry. Buy online at www.woolow.com or call Michael Burke on 086 154 4699.
