Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition in which the airways of the body are blocked during sleep. The most common symptom of this disorder is loud snoring. Sometimes snoring is so loud it can wake your spouse up too!
How wool helps: Wool bedding adjusts to the body which can help airways to stay open as you sleep. And pillows of wool fill support the head and neck.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia patients usually have trouble falling asleep due to their constant, chronic pain. Unfortunately, this creates a vicious cycle as the body becomes more fatigued from the lack of sleep.
How wool helps: A comfortable bed topped with a wool mattress and cotton sheets will help your body relax when it’s time to sleep.
Arthritis and Osteoporosis
Arthritis is a condition in which joint irritation causes the body to become stiff. Osteoporosis occurs when the bones of the body grow weak and brittle. Both are common in older individuals and can lead to sleep problems.
How wool helps: Fluctuating temperatures are a common cause of sudden arthritis symptoms. Wool bedding matches your body temperature so you do not get too hot or cold. And carefully arrange wool pillows can provide extra support to specific joints.
Chronic Pain
There are many causes of chronic pain. Conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and osteoporosis may cause continued pain throughout different parts of the body. Severe trauma can cause painful sensations even after the original injury has healed. Sleeping through pain is often difficult.
How wool helps: Our wool mattresses and toppers are made with extra loft for full-bodied support which can relieve pain. The less pressure on your limbs and joints, the easier sleep will be.
