Wool Duvets
+ All our duvets are filled with 290g/m2 Swisswool. The thickness is light enough for the summer and heavy enough for the winter, making it ideal year-round.
+ Our pure virgin wool comes from sheep raised in the Swiss Alps. We cover our wool with a satin cover made from the finest organic cotton, which makes the duvet very soft to the touch.
4 Good Reasons to Buy a Swisswool Duvet
There are four excellent reasons to buy our Swisswool duvets: they’re made in Switzerland, all-natural, ethical, and – most importantly - will help you sleep better.
Made in Switzerland
Our Swisswool is a Swiss product, made from pure virgin wool shorn from sheep raised in the Swiss Alps. The wool is then reinforced with natural plant fibres, so that you can put it in the washing machine. We then cover it with a soft FairTrade cotton batiste.
Zizzz is a Swiss company and we try to manufacture in Switzerland as much as possible. Swiss consumers know that Swiss products are known for being very high-quality, and that by buying a Swiss product, you are supporting the local economy.
100% natural
We don’t use polyester or any other synthetic fibres and can’t understand why anyone else would.
Our duvets are natural – only a fine cotton batiste and Swisswool. Batiste is a very soft weave; the thread count of our batiste is 250, which means it is very high quality.
By buying a Swisswool product, you are helping to maintain Switzerland’s Alpine landscape, as the grazing of the sheep herds helps to prevent erosion. Also, well-managed grazing helps reduce levels of carbon dioxide and may help reduce the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Ethical
When it comes to duvets, consumers generally have a choice between synthetic fibres, down and wool.
Synthetic fibres are generally made from polyester, which is derived from oil and is a type of plastic. In fact, most polyester is made from PET, which is the same material plastic Coke bottles are made of. PET isn’t biodegradable and once created, will stay on the planet forever.
Unlike polyester, down is a natural material, but the manner in which is obtained can be very troubling. It is true that it is possible to find down duvets that are ethically sourced, but at the end of the day, we believe that wool is a superior material for comforters.
But there is more to ethical business than just sourcing. For example, our logistics partner in Switzerland is the Buergerspital in Basel. The Buespi is a social and medical company which works to integrate handicapped individuals back into the workforce.
Better sleep – the most important reason to buy a Swisswool duvet
Why do we believe in wool? Wool is temperature-regulating, because it is breathable and readily absorbs moisture – qualities which make it perfect to sleep in.
A frequent cause of poor sleep is the feeling of being overheated at night. When you feel too hot in bed, it’s generally caused by moisture build-up between you and your duvet, in other words, by the accumulation of your sweat.
This is why wool is great – wool fibres can absorb up to 35% of their weight in moisture. The fibres that come into contact with heat and moisture draw this away from your body and transfer it to their other fibres, which keeps you drier and feeling cool.
This is a claim that down and polyester duvets can’t make. In fact, the University of Leeds published a study which showed that wool “allowed 67 percent more moisture to escape over an eight-hour period than a feather/down wadding, and 43 percent more than polyester.”
Why is it better to sleep with a sheep's wool duvet?
What are the advantages of a Zizzz wool duvet with Swisswool?
Our sheep's wool duvets with Swisswool are light and airy and provide a pleasant sleeping climate all year round. The unique temperature regulating qualities of the wool will help you wake up fresh every morning.
Wool is naturally hypoallergenic, highly breathable and does not attract dirt. Down and feathers tend to attract dust and dirt as well as dust mites. Dust mites do not like wool because of its air permeability. The wool in the quilt remains drier than other fillings. The less damp, the more unpleasant the environment is for house dust mites.
You can also easily wash them at 30 degrees with the wool programme.
What is the difference between wool, down and synthetic fabrics?
Down and synthetic materials are mainly insulators that keep the body warm and do not give off heat. During the night these insulators raise our body temperature and we either wake up completely or turn and roll around to cool down.
If you know the feeling of waking up sweaty, this is probably the reason.
Wool is not only an insulator, it also functions as a temperature regulator. Wool naturally absorbs moisture and releases it to cool or warm the body. They warm up quickly, but will not overheat due to the exceptional air permeability of the material.
Is a sheep wool duvet with Swisswool scratchy?
No, the Swisswool itself is not scratchy. Moreover, our Swisswool is also wrapped in very fine, FairTrade cotton batiste, so you don't actually touch the wool itself. Thanks to the soft cotton, the duvet feels soft and smooth.
Can I wash my sheep's wool duvet?
Yes, you can easily wash your Swisswool duvet in the washing machine. Do not forget to use the wool programme and a wool detergent.
However, you should not use a tumble dryer. The wool does not like that.
Are there different weights of sheep's wool duvets?
Our 4 seasons sheep wool duvets are filled with 290g/m2 Swisswool. This is the average weight of a duvet and for most people in houses with central heating it is ideal for the whole year.
An exception are the really hot summer nights when you sleep without a blanket. The winter duvets are filled with 460 g/m2 and are ideal for colder houses.

09-11-2022Eine wunderbar leichte Bettdecke, welche sich nach ein paar Tagen im Gebrauch, angenehm an den Körper anschmiegt, so dass es nicht zieht. Da ich Nachts häufiger schwitze und auch friere , fühle ich mich in dieser temperaturausgleichenden Decke im ungeheizten Schlafzimmer ausgesprochen wohl.
Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist hervorragend, das Inlett fässt sich sehr angenehmen an und die Decke ist vollkommen Geruchsneutral.
Ich habe auch noch das Vierjahreszeitenbett von ZiZZ, welches auch ein Traum ist. Bis zum Herbst wundervoll. Sicherlich für ein beheiztes Schlafzimmer auch optimal im Winter geeignet.
Ich kann beide Bettdecken „wärmstens“ empfehlen, es sind die besten Betten in denen ich je geschlafen habe.

22-02-2022Tolle Decke, unter der man im Winter, trotz der geringen Dicke und mit kurzem Schlafanzug bei offenem Fenster, nicht friert. Man schwitzt wenig bis gar nicht und die Wärmeleistung ist für mich genau richtig. In ganz heißen Sommernächten ist sie mir dann aber doch zu warm, dann genügt ein Laken zum Zudecken. Meine Frau, die schnell friert, ist ebenfalls begeistert von dieser Decke.

28-12-2020We already bought a zizzz duvet for ourselves (2 years ago), and we were very pleased with the weight and softness of the duvet. Therefor we decided to also buy a duvet for our 3 kids. And they are absolutely pleased to sleep beneath a Zizzz duvet.
For anyone with doubts if this is a good duvet, we can only say to try it. You won't be disappointed. -

Non fanno sudare e permettono di dormire bene, in modo confortevole tutta la notte. Durante il cambio di stagione si rispongono nella loro busta con comodità e non sono ingombranti. Sono molto soddisfatta e felice, è un prodotto ecosostenibile di altissima qualità che tutela la nostra salute e la Terra! -

Da ich das Produkt bereits kannte - mein Urlaubshotel auf Sylt hatte diese Decken und ich war sofort begeistert - gab es keine Überraschung. Das Gefühl ist einmalig leicht und unbeschwert, die Wärme ist angenehm, man schwitzt nicht. In sehr kalten Nächten reicht mir die Decke allerdings nicht aus. Ich habe sie aber sowieso füe die Übergangszeiten im Frühjahr und Herbst angeschafft. Absolute Kaufempfehlung! -

FAQ
Questions about our Wool Duvets
All our duvets are filled with 290g/sqm Swisswool. This is an average weight.
For most people living in a house with central heating, it will be ideal all year round. Of course, those really hot summer nights when you sleep without anything are an exception.
Yes, you can wash a Zizzz Swisswool duvet in your washing machine with absolutely no problem. Just be sure to use the wool program and a wool detergent.
The only thing you should not do is using a dryer. Wool doesn’t like that
Yes, that's wool's main benefit! Our wool duvets help regulate your body temperature while you sleep because of their natural breathability and ability to wick moisture. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, which can help prevent you from overheating and sweating.
Wool duvets are best suited for those who prefer natural and sustainable bedding, and those seeking a duvet that can help regulate their body temperature all through the night. Wool duvets are especially popular with those who sleep hot or cold, as the wool fibers help to wick away moisture and regulate body temperature, thereby keeping the sleeper snug and comfortable all night long.
Wool is also a hypoallergenic natural fiber that resists mold, mildew and dust mites, making wool duvets a good choice for asthmatics and allergy sufferers.
In addition, wool duvets are an eco-friendly and sustainable choice, as wool is a renewable and biodegradable material that requires less energy to produce than synthetic materials.
You should dry your sheepskin comforter as soon as possible after washing.
When doing this, remember that sheepskin comforters should never be put in the dryer or placed in direct sunlight. Instead, you should stretch your wool comforter over some lines in a shady place.
Air your wool duvet out regularly and dry-clean it when necessary to keep your wool duvet in good condition.
Our Swisswool duvets can be machine washed. It’s best to let them dry naturally, but you can use the dryer’s wool program.
We currently have two sizes:
• 150x200 cm, this is a general European size for a mattress 90 cm wide.
• 160x210 cm, this is a standard Swiss size for a mattress 90 cm wide.
If you have a two-person mattress, we advise buying two one-person duvets. You will both sleep better, since your partner can’t pull the duvet to his or her side anymore.
In addition to the size of the bed, there are two other factors to consider. First, how much of the duvet you want to fall out on each side of the bed and secondly how much you or you and your partner move around at night.
We recommend the following:
• for a single bed of 80x200 cm, 90x200 cm, and 140x200 cm, we recommend a 140x200 cm duvet
• for more comfort in a single bed of 80x200 cm, 90x200 cm, and 140x200 cm, we recommend a larger duvet, as in160x210 cm (Swiss standard size)
• if you don't want your duvet to hang on the floor next to your bed, a duvet of 135x200cm or 140x200 cm for a double bed of 120x190-200 cm
• On big beds, like those sized 160x200, 180x200 and 240x240, you can use two 160x210 cm duvets.
• a 240x240 cm size duvet for a double bed of 140x190 or 140x200cm, if you want your duvet to cover or even envelop you under all circumstances
Wool duvets are considered hypoallergenic because wool fibers naturally resist dust mites, mold, and bacteria. However, some people may still be allergic to wool, so it's important to test for any allergies before purchasing a wool duvet. Those whose skin doesn't agree with wool have no reason to worry, however, as your skin doesn't come into contact with our wool duvet due to our soft cotton cover.
A wool duvet is a type of duvet made from natural wool fibers. Wool duvets are different from down duvets, which are made from bird feathers, and synthetic duvets, which are made from man-made materials. Wool duvets are known for their natural breathability, ability to regulate body temperature, and moisture-wicking properties.
Our Zizzz duvets with Swisswool are made in Switzerland.
Our wool has been washed to remove the slight odour that some wool duvets have due to the natural lanolin in the wool fibres, so this is not an issue.
Keeping your duvet clean and well-maintained is important for both longevity and hygiene. Monthly airing is a simple and effective way to keep your duvet clean in between washes. As we sweat when we sleep, airing your duvet will help eliminate the humidity that accumulates during the night, making it easier to kill dust mites and bacteria.
When airing your duvet, avoid beating or vacuuming it, as this can damage the feathers and affect their shape. Instead, simply hang it outside on a sunny and breezy day, or in a well-ventilated room, to allow the fresh air to circulate and remove any moisture.
In addition to airing your duvet, it's important to follow the care instructions on the label. Most duvets can be washed and dried in a large-capacity machine, but be sure to use a gentle detergent and avoid high heat settings to prevent damage to the feathers. We also recommend using a duvet cover to protect your duvet and reduce the frequency of washing.
By following these simple tips and taking good care of your duvet, you can ensure that it stays clean, comfortable, and hygienic for years to come.
Synthetic duvets are generally cheaper than natural duvets, but wool duvets are often roughly equal in price to down duvets. The price depends on the quality of the wool and where the duvets are manufactured.
If your dryer has a wool program, then you can use your dryer, otherwise it needs to be exclusively air dried.
Wool duvets are known for their insulating properties, which make them suitable for all seasons. Wool can regulate body temperature and wick moisture away from the body, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Our four season duvet is intermediate thicknes and can be used all year in a heated house or appartment. We also have winter duvets for colder rooms.
We offer 2 different weights for our wool duvets. Most of our duvets are stuffed with wool at the rate of 290 grams per square meter. This is the average weight for a down and is ideal all year round for the majority of people who live in a house with central heating.
We also offer 2 duvets padded of 460g / m2 in sizes 160x210cm and 200x210cm, which is ideal for cold interiors as well as cold winter periods, or simply for very chilly people.
Our Swisswool duvets for adults are made in Switzerland.
No, the Swisswool itself is not itchy. On top of that our Swisswool is covered with a very fine, fair-trade cotton batiste. It has a very soft and smooth
Our Duvets with Swisswool are light and airy. They provide a very comfortable sleeping climate all year round. The unique temperature regulating qualities of wool will help you to wake up fresh every morning.
Wool is a naturally hypoallergenic, highly- breathable and it doesn't attract dust. Down and feather tend to attract dust and dirt, as well as dust mites. Dust mites do not like wool because of the way wool breathes. The wool in the duvet stays drier than other fillings. The lower the humidity, the less comfortable the environment for dust mites.
Our duvet is also machine-washable.
