Heirloom Wool Bedding


Current Order:




Heirloom Wool Bedding is hand-crafted in the old-world tradition. Our products are:

  • Hand-Quilted. While most duvets and mattress pads are machine stitched or tufted, the tradition of the Mennonites has been to stretch the duvet on a frame and quilt the whole piece by hand. The quilting must be loose enough to allow plenty of loft in the duvet or mattress pad, yet tight enough to prevent the wool from shifting around within it.
  • All-Natural. All of our bedding products use only earth’s natural products as ingredients:
    - filling is made of carded wool batts.
    - sheeting is of unbleached cotton.
    - stitching uses cotton yarn and thread.
  • Canadian Wool. The Heirloom Wool Company uses only Virgin Canadian Wool. This wool, raised on the cold Canadian Prairies, has superior natural attributes to provide more loft and warmth in each duvet.

The Duvet Cover:
The Heirloom Wool Duvet is best used with a duvet cover, available from major retailers in a variety of fabrics and colours. The cover may be changed to suit the decor of the season.

Sizes:
The duvet is produced in the standard sizes used in North America - King, Queen, Twin, and Crib. The Heirloom Wool Company will also produce all products in custom sizes upon request.

Packaging:
Each duvet is packaged in a natural cotton draw-string bag, along with a small cedar block to add a scent of the natural clear woods to your purchase.

Care:
The Heirloom Wool Company recommend that wool bedding be occasionally be hung out in the fresh air. Wool fibres are best kept away from chemicals and severe washing techniques. If necessary, the duvet may be gently hand-washed in luke-warm water and laid flat to dry. Wool products may also be dry cleaned by companies familiar with natural wool products.
