Help create a perfect night’s sleep for your little one, and protect their health!

Handmade from pure wool, our Sleepy Sheep by Karoo Creations 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 Namaqualand 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.
