The Sleeping Comfort Study - conducted by The Woolmark Company and the University of Sydney, funded by Australian Wool Innovation - has shown that through the development of a Thermal Comfort Rating System, wool is the natural choice for bedding products.

And, wool was the undoubted winner with a clear demonstration that wool bedding products:
