What kind of wool is used?
Cuddle Ewe™ underquilts are filled with cheviot wool, the most resilient and one of the softest varieties of wool found to date. This type of wool is primarily found in one place in the world, and that is in the Cheviot Hills which separate Scotland from England. Cheviot wool is the product of sheep raised in this unique climate and on vegetation found only in this part of the world. To demonstrate the improved thickness and resilience of Cheviot wool, Cuddle Ewe™ underquilts were tested for thickness loss against underquilts made with New Zealand wool; using an industry standard bedding product life cycle test. After ten (10) years of simulated use, Cheviot wool filled Cuddle Ewe™ underquilts had lost only 12% of their thickness, while the New Zealand units had lost more than 15% of their thickness. The same test also indicated that the Cheviot wool filled Cuddle Ewe™ underquilts were 13% softer than the New Zealand wool filled underquilts at the end of ten (10) years of simulated use
