Here in New Zealand, we are striving to keep our country green, sustainable, and beautiful. We found an increasing desire for products made from natural products that were sustainably sourced. From this Woola was born. Starting with pillows the range quickly grew to include mattresses, bases, duvets, and overlays. We export this range right across the globe.
Using sustainable materials and zero-waste processes to produce bedding products lengthens the lifespan of raw materials and reduces the need to find an alternative source. This allows us to maintain long working relationships with sheep farmers, wool processors, latex suppliers, and cotton/linen fabrics. Reusing boxes, fabrics, wool products, and reworking these materials enables us to use, use, and use again the same item to create something new. Whatever leaves our factory, packaged products or waste is challenged by our slogan maximise our environment, minimise our footstep. Every part of the mattress can be broken down and recycled. The manufacturing process contains no glues or adhesives. We don’t use any materials with Petro-chemicals. Wool Is completely recyclable and reusable. Wool is also easily biodegradable. Latex Cores can be easily recycled or turned into other products. We can turn old natural latex into camping mattresses for Department of Conservation huts in New Zealand. Linen & Cotton fabric can we washed, resewn and reused for labels. All the fabrics are also biodegradable.
Wool is one of the original super fibres with production and uses that dates back approximately 10,000 years in Asia Minor.
The advantage of wool doesn’t stop there. It has many safety benefits too.
This breathable fibre helps control humidity and keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We use two types of wool in our Woola range: Purewool and Southwool.
Purewool is 100% New Zealand wool with nothing else at all. It’s so natural it even smells a bit like nature. All our Purewool comes directly from the farms here and then undergoes a unique crimping process that gives it incredible volume and resilience. When you open a bag of tightly packaged Purewool you’ll be amazed at how it bursts out to resume its original volume. This springiness and loft is the result of the crimping process that makes it so ideal for mattresses and other bedding products.
Our Southwool is 95% New Zealand wool products with just 5% bonding fibre. It’s still mostly natural and just as soft. The bonding fibre is similar to microfibre and it keeps the wool lofted. The difference between Southwool and Purewool is in the crimping process.
