Texel is an island off the coast of the Netherlands which is the largest of the Frisian Islands and the most populated in the Wadden Sea and is the western most in this archipelago that extends to Denmark. The people of this small dutch community have been raising sheep for over 600 years. The combination of this unique fibre and harsh weather conditions from this North Sea environment produce a fibre of superior quality that in unrivalled in the wool industry today.
Green Sleep® mattresses only contain wool from Texel Sheep that are organically raised. They only use natural soaps and hot water for cleaning to ensure the high natural lanolin remains intact and is chemical-free ensuring both the sheep and the end user are not harmed. As well by washing every fibre in an eco friendly manner the wool maximizes its humidity control and dust repellent qualities thermo regulating every individuals sleep in a Green Sleep mattress from Soma Organic Mattresses. Texel Wool is capable of holding 35% of its own weight in moisture without feeling hot or clammy. Warm in winter and cool in summer, this unique product traps air between fibers allowing the skin to breathe naturally. Wool does not break down into dust like other feather and down pillows eliminating the growth of mould, mildew, and dust mites.
Although many wools are similar in qualities the Texel wool tends to be more dense(rougher fibres) preventing softening when pressing, perspiring, rubbing, and warmth can affect its loft. Thicker wool found on Texel Sheep which is a Cheviot type breed can be a lot more elastic and have a much longer life span which is why they are used in mattresses where softer wools like Merinos are often created for clothing and other applications.
Texel wool achieves as close to a neutral pH balance as possible and has achieved an öko-tex100 certification ensuring the purity of the product. Green Sleep® mattresses are so heat resistant that they meet flame resistant requirements for California and the
UK.
