Scottish Sleep Experince with Wool

Hello , I'm a mum of two and a hill sheep farmer in the foothills of Glen Isla, Angus. It all started when I was investigating how I could manage my sons asthma symptoms better to improve his sleep. Wool bedding was suggested and Uan Wool was created on the amazing improvement to my sons sleep. (He now sleeps all night, no coughing and no snuffles). A case of not seeing the wool for all the sheep here on our farm!. So 5 years later, with lots of research, proto type's, user groups, wonderful customer feedback, the help from Dundee, Abertay & Herriot Watt Uni's, the BWMB, and not forgetting our son. I welcome you to Uan Wool, and our Scottish sleep experience pillows. Another step along the hill path in our journey to create the best wool pillows we can using our own home grown Scottish & British Wools. You can read some of the case studies about Uan Wool and general press by searching "Uan Wool" into google. I do hope you will like and enjoy our "boutique health" products on our Uan Wool etsy shop. Our products are like us, developing & improving as we grow. If you have any questions about how wool is natures smart fibre, just ask.

Frequently asked questions
Are your wool products easy cleaned?

Yes, they can be handwashed, machine washed on the wool cycle or dry cleaned. Remember sheep don't shrink in the rain, and we would never ever put them on the 90 deg. wash.

Is your wool organic?

Our sheep are managed to the organic husbandry standards on our hill farm. But we do not hold this certification yet. The organic certification process takes a min. of 2 years to convert. Currently we hold QMS Assurance Schemes Accreditations ( Member 014170).

What is "Uan" Wool

Uan is gaelic for "little lamb". We chose the name as it was the bedtime story we were reading our children. We thought it appropraite given our quest to improve our sons sleep, general health and well being that sleep gives. And reduce his need for his asthma inhaler and steriods. Our logo - the Blackface ewe & lamb represents a mothers bond, love and care. The Blackface breed are highly regarded for having the best mothering abilities of all the different sheep breeds.

Will wool bedding really help me sleep?

Yes, wool has so many natural anti allergy and self adjusting temperature properties it has been scientifically proven to create a micro climate around you in your sleep environment. Wool is also very durable, it will last a long time and as a natural material is very different from polyester or feather fill.
