Toxic bedding vs. non-toxic BioSleep bedding One third of your life is spent sleeping. That’s time spent in contact with potentially toxic bedding materials that can be absorbed through skin or inhaled during sleep. Pillow and mattress man-made foam, for instance, gives off toxic formaldehyde gas with age. Mass-produced synthetics originate from fossil fuel-derived materials such as polyurethane. Even so-called “pure” wool bedding products can be harmful – cleaned with sulphuric acid or combined with binding chemical resin to keep their shape. BioSleep products are free of chemicals and synthetics.

Hand-crafted from 100% pure Australian wool

100% pure Australian wool means exactly that. BioSleep pillows contain AAA full-fleece wool from Australian sheep, which means the fibres are longer, stronger, and of exceptional quality.

“Pure” wool bedding products are common in today’s market. Only BioSleep products possess exceptional quality and standards that set them apart. Expertly hand crafted and made with only the finest natural wool fibres, BioSleep products provide durability, chemical-free safety, and warmth.

It’s all about quality. Ordinary wool bedding products contain shorter cuts from sheep’s fleece. Resin is then used to bond these fibres and prevent them from falling apart. You might recognise this manufacturing process: it’s the same one used to produce insulation batts. In the case of bedding products, however, constant movement causes the resins to break down, the fibres to shift apart, and the product to become less effective at storing warmth.

BioSleep products are far more durable. Manufactured without chemicals or synthetics, their fibres are built up in many layers and do not tear apart with age. This non-toxic durability defines the BioSleep range. Free from chemicals and binding resins, the wool in BioSleep pillows is laid in alternating directions so it won’t shift or separate. The result: a natural product that lasts for years.

Pure wool comfort all-year round Pure wool is a unique fibre. It stores heat and air in ways that other materials will not. Wool absorbs warmth and disperses moisture away from the body. Unlike polyester and other synthetics that hold odour, it breathes naturally for a healthier, more comfortable sleep. This makes it an ideal fibre for year-round use. Wool is equally effective in summer, winter, autumn or spring.

Designed to resist dust mites

Synthetic bedding fibres do not breathe. Breathable fibres are vital for comfort and hygiene, especially considering that adults can sweat (excrete waste through skin) up to a quarter cup of moisture overnight. The build-up of sweat and odour caused by synthetic bedding fibres is both unpleasant and uncomfortable. Even worse, it can become host to harmful bacteria. Dust mites thrive in synthetic bedding.

BioSleep products do not attract dust mites. The pure wool in each pillow is completely enclosed in 100% pure cotton, and therefore does not provide an environment in which dust mites can live. BioSleep products are used by asthmatics and people with sensitivities to dust mites.

Non-toxic bedding for you and your family

Many people are sensitive to the chemicals commonly found in modern bedding products. Whether it’s binding resins, fire-retardant chemicals or synthetics, the cheap toxic substances found in many pillows and mattresses can be absorbed as vapour or by skin contact.

Commercially harvested wool, for instance, is scoured (washed) after shearing to remove lanolin and dirt. Then, sulphuric acid is used to clean out any vegetable matter still left in the wool. This final cleaning process – known as ‘carbonizing’ – leaves chemical residue that can place people with chemical sensitivities at risk. The wool in many mass-produced pillows, quilts and blankets undergoes this process.

The BioSleep range offers a safe alternative. Cleaned thoroughly with gentle soap, BioSleep products are manufactured without chemicals or synthetics. They are used by people with asthma, allergies, or multiple chemical sensitivities. Of course, they are also suitable for people who simply want a quality, chemical-free product.

Size specifications
The pillow you choose should be based on your personal preferences. BioSleep pillows are available in four thicknesses:

• Thin
• Standard
• Thick
• Super thick

Suggested care
Caring for your BioSleep pillow is simple. Wool naturally absorbs moisture, so it’s a good idea to air your pillow once a month. Windy, sunny conditions are ideal.

On a weekly basis, ‘fluff’ your pillow by holding its centre from either side and gently stretching it apart. This will make your pillow feel lighter and softer.

Hand-wash your pillow in cold water with a wool mix or bicarb soda and rinse. This can be in a bath or trough. Squeeze out excess water but do not wring. Then, hang the pillow horizontally over a few strands of clothesline to dry.  BioSleep pillows are suitable for P40 dry cleaning.

What is Woolmark? The Woolmark certification specifies that a product contains pure new wool. All Woolmark certified products undergo stringent testing for quality and performance. Continued, random testing ensures that quality is maintained. These high standards are established by The Woolmark Company, and ensure that Woolmark products are recognised throughout the world as a symbol of quality and reliability.
