A wool quilt is an excellent choice for anyone who values natural materials. This type of quilt effectively regulates warmth and wicks away body moisture into the surrounding air. It is highly recommended for those who want to create a natural sleeping environment and fall asleep wrapped in the cozy embrace of wool.
A wool quilt is one of those things you may never want to part with once you’ve tried it.

All wool-filled quilts are complemented by soft, skin-friendly cotton fabric.
Wool is self-cleaning, meaning it naturally resists dirt and odor buildup.
The quilting ensures the filling remains evenly distributed throughout the quilt.
They are extremely durable, so you’ll enjoy them for many years to come.
Comparison of Wool Types Used in Our Quilts
Cashmere, sheep’s wool, camel wool, and alpaca wool are all different types of wool fibers used in quilt fillings, each with its own unique properties. Here’s a brief comparison:
Origin: Derived from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats, primarily in the Himalayan region.
Properties: Extremely soft and lightweight, yet exceptionally warm. Cashmere is a premium insulating fiber that offers superior comfort and natural temperature regulation.
Use: Ideal for luxurious quilts and pillows, where softness and warmth without bulk are desired.
Origin: Mainly sourced from European and Australian sheep breeds.
Properties: Very durable with excellent insulation and breathability. Coarser than cashmere, but still comfortable and warm. It absorbs moisture well without staying damp, keeping the sleeping environment dry and cozy.
Use: Common in quilts and pillows intended for colder seasons.
Origin: Taken from the coats of Mongolian camels with long, soft hair.
Properties: Lightweight and highly insulating, with excellent body temperature regulation. Keeps you warm in cold weather but doesn’t overheat in milder conditions. Naturally hypoallergenic.
Use: Ideal for transitional seasons and year-round comfort.
Origin: Native to the Andes in South America.
Properties: Soft and silky, very lightweight yet provides exceptional warmth. More moisture-resistant than sheep’s wool, making it great for cooler and more humid conditions. Naturally softer than standard wool.
Use: Used in luxurious quilts and pillows where insulation without heaviness is needed.
Each type of wool has its strengths, depending on your needs – cashmere for luxury and softness, sheep’s wool for durability and warmth, camel wool for temperature flexibility, and alpaca for lightweight, soft insulation.
