Beware of other companies' woolly claims
- At Baavet we use wool from farmers we know, who have years of experience working with the natural wool that goes into our Baavets.
- We genuinely do manufacture our duvets in the UK using wool from British farms. If you are thinking of buying from other companies it's worth double checking exactly where their products are made.
- Many wool duvet manufacturers use chemicals to strip the wool of its outside fibres. They do this to make their duvets machine washable. This process involves using harsh chemicals to strip the outer layers and then coating the fibres in a silicone or a polymer to prevent shrinkage, not a very natural process!
- Wool is naturally anti bacterial and dust mite resistant. It also has the ability to wick away moisture. Wool is naturally clean. If your duvet isn't visibly soiled then there's no need to wash it, hang it on the line on a sunny day and your duvet will be as fresh as the day you bought it. If you do need to wash your duvet then wash or dry clean as a delicate item.
- There are no harmful chemicals used on Baavet wool.
- We don't bond our wool to polymers nor do we use a polypropylene inter-liner as is the case with some cheaper wool duvets. Please read the small print!
Polyester is massively contributing to marine pollution. Waste water contains microfilaments of polyester which remain suspended in the sea water for a very long time. On the other hand, wool being a natural material, biodegrades very quickly in water.
- Our cotton is made just for us. It's the finest quality 240 thread count. OEKO-TEX Standard. It’s also dust mite proof beyond the standard set by the Asthma society.
- Our wool duvets are made to the highest standards. All our products are professionally made on professional machinery in British factories, and the companies involved in our production are all British family owned companies, all with years of production experience.
- We are so confident of the quality of our product that you can try our duvets for 30 days and if they don’t do what we say, or for any other reason whatsoever, we will replace it or refund your money.
- Customer satisfaction is our priority
- We like to keep things simple at Baavet... and we believe we are simply the best.
