Allow your baby’s body temperature to be regulated by the 100% natural filling in our baby cot duvets, ensuring that they are kept at the perfect temperature for deeper, longer sleep. Being a protein-based fibre made of keratin (the same as human hair) means that it reduces the risk of overheating. Petroleum-based fabrics such as polyester, acrylic and nylon do not have this natural ability! Wool allows the skin to breathe naturally, helps prevent sweating, and lets the body find a natural equilibrium.
Your little one uses lots of energy to keep warm when sleeping. A pure wool baby cot duvet will regulate body temperature to keep it at the ultimate level for better sleep, using less energy so that your precious bundle of joy can sleep better for longer.

Air your duvet, mattress topper, or pillows in indirect sunlight every 2–3 months to keep them fresh. Turn once during airing and limit direct sun exposure to 60–90 minutes, as excessive heat can cause shrinkage.
Every few months, vacuum your duvet insert or mattress topper to circulate air through the fibres and reduce moisture build-up. Occasionally leave your bed unmade in the morning to allow overnight moisture to evaporate.
Always use a duvet cover, pillow protector, and pillowcase to protect your bedding.
Do not machine wash or dry clean your wool bedding. Domestic washing machines and dry-cleaning chemicals can permanently shrink, felt, or harden the fibres. Our wool is not pre-shrunk, and the fibres retain their natural memory, making them especially sensitive to heat, agitation, and chemicals.
For minor marks, spot clean only using a very gentle soap such as Boereseep. A diluted hydrogen peroxide solution or Londa Bio Oxy Bleach may also be used. Dry the area gently with a hairdryer.
For deeper cleaning of a soiled area:
- Fill a bath or bucket with cool water and dissolve a mild detergent before use.
- Suitable options include Woollite, Boereseep, Londa Bio Oxy Bleach, or Londa Bio Laundry Powder.
- Do not use fabric softener.
- Submerge only the affected area and soak for about an hour.
- Gently move the area in the water without rubbing, wringing, or agitating.
- Rinse using water at the same temperature to avoid felting.
- Press out excess water gently and air dry flat, out of direct sunlight, until completely dry.
Our pillows feature a zippered outer casing with a removable inner wool sleeve. The outer casing can be washed separately, while the wool filling may be refreshed in sunlight for 1–2 hours. Do not wash or dry clean the wool itself. For personalised comfort, you may remove some wool filling and store it in a breathable cotton bag or pillowcase.
Avoid exposing your bedding to prolonged direct sunlight, damp conditions, or extreme temperatures.
When not in use, always store your duvet, mattress topper, or pillows in a breathable cotton bag — never plastic. Do not vacuum pack wool bedding.
Tips for Humid Climates
- Use a dehumidifier where possible.
- Air wool-filled items more frequently.
- Vacuum duvet inserts and mattress toppers regularly to improve airflow through the fibres.
- While wool naturally resists mould and mildew, regularly check your bed base or slats for any signs of moisture or mould growth.
Made in a standard cot size (80cm x 120cm), our cot duvets have a pure white 233 threadcount downproof cotton casing, quilting in a block pattern to ensure filling does not migrate to the edges of the duvet. White binding on the edges ensures a beautiful edge, with rounded corners.

Handmade from pure wool, our baby cot duvet inner is a perfect alternative to allergy-producing feather, down and polyester duvets. Protect your baby from harmful chemical off-gassing from polyester duvets, as well as overheating and allergies created by down duvets.
Allow your baby’s body temperature to be regulated by the 100% natural filling in our baby cot duvets, ensuring that they are kept at the perfect temperature for deeper, longer sleep. Being a protein-based fibre made of keratin (the same as human hair) means that it reduces the risk of overheating. Petroleum-based fabrics such as polyester, acrylic and nylon do not have this natural ability! Wool allows the skin to breathe naturally, helps prevent sweating, and lets the body find a natural equilibrium.
Wool does not absorb odours, and is much safer for your little one in the event of a fire – it does not ignite, or stick to skin like plastic filling. It also reduces the possibility of “Down Duvet Lung Syndrome” where down breaks down into a fine powder that is inhaled, causing swelling in the lungs and breathing difficulties.
From an environmental perspective, our baby cot wool duvets are filled with 100% pure South African wool, sourced in the Karoo and washed in Paarl before being hand-made in Richmond. We do not use imported fillings like down or plastic. Wool is the essence of renewable – every year, sheep produce a new fleece, the result of grass, water, air and sunshine. Wool is known for its biodegradability on land and in water. At the end of its useful life, wool can be returned to the soil or the marine environment where it decomposes, releasing nourishing, nitrogen-based nutrients. Half the weight of clean wool is pure organic carbon, derived from the carbon in the atmosphere. By contrast the carbon in synthetic fibres such as polyester and acrylic is extracted from fossil fuels stored underground for millions of years ago, where nature put them for safekeeping.
