打造“会呼吸”的健康睡眠环境

　　打造“会呼吸”的健康睡眠环境，当然少不了号称最亲肤、会呼吸的天然动物纤维——羊毛、骆驼绒、绵羊绒。因为组成羊膜、骆驼绒、绵羊绒的蛋白质与人类皮肤表层的蛋白质相同，因而羊毛、绵骆驼绒、羊绒具有天然的亲肤性，用它做成的床品，自然也是四季皆宜、舒适安全。

　　增加深度睡眠——据权威机构试验表明，羊毛、骆驼绒、绵羊绒床品睡眠时的温度是:

　　32.7度，轻柔、恒温能够导致25％以上的深度睡眠时间，保持心率平稳，贴近皮肤的微观环境，和人体表面温度33度极为相似。

　　吸湿保干、冬暖夏凉——羊毛、骆驼绒、绵羊绒可以吸收自身重量35％的水蒸气而无潮湿感，人体在睡眠时会排出大量的水分，羊毛、骆驼绒、绵羊绒独特的分子结构可将水蒸气吸进多孔结构中，并迅速排出体外，冷时保持温暖干爽，热时透气凉爽。

　　蓬松柔软，不会板结——羊毛、骆驼绒、绵羊绒拥有至少40％的天然弹性，卷曲的纤维中可以储存大量空气，受压后可以恢复原厚度的90％以上，从而长期保持弹性、柔软，不会板结。

　　天然阻燃，安全可靠——羊毛、骆驼绒、绵羊绒不需要特殊的化学处理来达到阻燃的效果，当它被点燃时，不会发生急剧的燃烧也不维持燃烧的状态。一旦火源撤离，就会自动熄灭并迅速冷却。

　　防尘阻电，抗菌抑螨——因为吸湿性强，不易产生静电，从而灰尘污垢不易沾附；在将水蒸气释放到外部前，先将水分吸收到自身的纤维中，降低了尘螨的寿命周期，绵羊绒床品很适合婴儿、学生、哮喘、风湿病人和老年人使用。

Their results showed that sleeping in wool bedding can lead to 25% more deep regenerative sleep as well as maintaining a steadier heart rate and reducing humidity.

　　Wool also has a fantastic natural qualities making it ideal for bedding; antiallergenic, ideal for asthma sufferers (resists dust mites), washable, sustainable, help regulates body temperature and it is flame retardant.

　　"Having bought a duo wool duvet and mattress topper, I remarked to my husband that for the fourth night running since we have been sleeping under the duvet, the sheep have been giving me the most amazing dreams. I am no longer waking several times a night. His reply was that it is not the sheep, but the properties of the wool that are making me sleep deeper. I prefer to think of it as a gift from the sheep!! This honestly has been the buy of the century for us! I will be replacing all the duvets in our house, getting rid of the feather ones and getting wool mattress protectors...absolutely marvellous :-)"
