"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 :-)"
