Euro-Luxury Organic Wool Comforters / Duvets

We guarantee that our organic wool comforter is the very best there is: cozy, comfy, pure, and oh-so-fluffy. All-natural and all-organic materials ensure maximum air circulation and purity, safely keeping you warm on frosty nights and cool on balmy nights. On top of it all, the wool is completely cruelty-free; full disclosure on harvest conditions follow at bottom of page.

The casing for our pure wool comforter is made from triple-certified organic cotton fabric (growing, processing, & manufacturing).

Why our pure wool comforters? Because our wool comforters are made in an all-organic, chemical-free, specialized facility that produces only certified organic products, unlike other so-called organic comforters that share facilities with conventional cotton products (which account for 275 million pounds of annual pesticide use). This extra precaution guarantees the purity of our products and ensures the safety and health of our workers, our customers (many of whom are allergic to even the smallest amount of chemicals and synthetic materials), as well as that of our environment.

Gone are the days of our childhood when wool was synonymous with "heavy," itchy," and "scratchy." Our toxin- and chemical-free organic wool comforters are incredibly soft, warm, and cozy. Our organic comforters will keep you evenly warm and perspiration-free from head to toe. They also look beautiful. The certified organic cotton fabric casing is as tightly woven as smooth as silk. We offer you three fill weights of wool comforters to choose from: Summer (tropical), Spring/Summer (medium-weight), and Winter (for the severest winter regions as well as for those who prefer to sleep warm or on the covered porch).

Our organic wool comforters contain absolutely no toxic substances that deplete the ozone and are dangerous to inhale. Careful quilting prevents the wool fill from bunching and shifting, providing for even warmth with no cold pockets. Made from top to bottom in Canada.

Complete information on sources of raw materials that went into the production of our wool comforters follow at bottom of page.

Tidbits: Pure wool fill regulates body temperature so you're always comfortable; serged edges; carded pure wool fill is quilted to the cover. Soft & fluffy, our wool comforters are light and warm, similar to down comforters, but without the cruelty.

Summer weight: This lightweight organic wool comforter provides the perfect amount of comfort for sleeping in the summer (or year-round in the tropics) as well as for those who don't need much help keeping warm (or for those living in a house which is kept quite warm through the winter). The soft organic cotton cover is quilted to the pure wool filling to ensure that it will not migrate to the corners, creating cold spots.

Spring/Fall weight: This medium-weight organic wool comforter provides the perfect amount of comfort for sleeping when the nights begin to cool in the spring and fall, where temperatures often change drastically. All-in-all, a wonderful year-round comforter, suitable even for winter and the colder climates of northern Canada and windy Chicago. Slip under this soft and fluffy comforter and the wool will quickly trap your body heat while allowing your skin to breathe; in no time at all, you'll be warm and cozy, even toasty if your bedroom is kept on the warm side.

Care instructions: Our organic comforters are not machine washable. We recommend that you always encase your organic wool comforter in a machine-washable duvet cover for protection and long life. (We offer Organic Hemp Duvet Covers in 7 vibrant colors as well as Organic French Linen Duvet Cover and Organic Cotton Duvet Cover.) From time to time (every month or so), you may shake and air your wool comforter for a few hours in the sun to keep it fresh. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and always keep dry and away from moisture sources.

Below are the prices and dimensions of the three different weights of our organic wool comforters.

No sales tax in the US; GST in Canada (PST applies in BC). Our organic mattresses are eligible for free shipping to most points in Canada and the 48 contiguous states in the US (2-4 weeks to delivery) -- freight to Hawaii, Alaska, NWT, Yukon, and some remote points will be quoted after you place your order for your approval. Faster shipping options are available and will put your order ahead of the queue (1-2 weeks to delivery). **We also reserve the right to require a signed statement of payment authorization by mail or fax as a protective measure for our customers.

Please note: You will notice that we make our organic wool comforters 4 inches wider than the width of our organic cotton, linen, or hemp comforter covers (also called duvet covers) to better anchor the comforter inside the comforter cover. Once you put the comforter inside the comforter cover and hold it end to end and give it a little shake, the four extra inches are then evenly distributed (hence "anchored") inside the cover and won't move as much as they would if there are no extra inches.

The Obasan staff is aware that our customers must have choices. Growing sensitivities to the vast array of chemicals used in the manufacture of everyday items prevent more and more people from functioning in the chemical soup that surrounds us daily. Take cotton for example, conventionally grown cotton used in most bedding relies heavily upon chemicals that leave toxins in the soil, water, and air, not to mention the toxic residues on the cotton fibers.

In an effort to preserve their own health, the health of their families, and the environmental health of the planet, many people are choosing a simpler, more natural way of life. The Obasan Collection is designed for those who wish to live in a cleaner, safer environment, while enjoying a top quality, hand-made product. The materials we use are the finest nature can provide; certified organic and handpicked cotton, organic wool, and natural rubber.

Are you a sound sleeper, or do you sometimes suffer from sleeplessness, perhaps a sore back? Maybe a stiff neck keeps you awake. It could be that you have allergies or are sensitive to chemicals. Your bed and bedroom accessories play a major role in how well you sleep. An uncomfortable bed will cause you to have a poor night's sleep and since you will spend approximately 100 days there this year, it is not a piece of furniture to be taken lightly

A growing number of people are sensitive to the chemicals used in the manufacture of everyday items. Traditional bedding contains synthetic materials and an abundance of chemicals such as formaldehyde and arsenic. This bedding off gases harmful vapors throughout the night for years after your purchase and have been known to cause a wide variety of health problems such as asthma, sore backs, and multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS). With this in mind, the Obasan collection was created using only the purest natural materials found on Earth and by maintaining their purity throughout the manufacturing process.

All Obasan products - mattresses, foundations, pillows, comforters, and mattress protectors contain pure, organically grown and harvested cotton.

Cotton grown in industrialized countries is saturated with pesticides and herbicides and absorb all the chemicals that modern fertilizers deposit in the soil. Machine picked, it is full of impurities, oil, leaves, and dirt.

The organic cotton we use as casing for our Organic Wool Comforter is cultivated and hand picked in the traditional co-operative manner that has been followed for centuries in the Cañete and Chincha valleys high in the Peruvian Andes. It is grown organically without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or defoliants to fertilize the crop, control plant growth or fight pests. No synthetic chemicals are used to strip the leaves in preparation for the harvest or during the manufacturing process. Hand picking ensures that it is the cleanest, purest most resilient cotton fiber available.

Europe's oldest and most prestigious certification agency KRAV of Sweden has certified our organic cotton. Their stamp of approval is not only a guarantee of organic standards, but also that social rights are observed in the production of our cotton. All the cotton used in our batting, filling and fabrics is this clean, pure, organic product. It is woven to very high standards into the finest, softest fabrics, in Germany and Switzerland.

The wool in our Organic Wool Comforter comes exclusively from Texel, an island off the coast of Holland. It has a population of 13,300 people and over 100,000 sheep. The people of Texel have been raising sheep for over 600 years, and have developed a unique breed of sheep that is both hardy and produces wool of unrivalled quality.

Texel Sheep have adapted to a very windy and harsh environment to produce a unique, long wool fiber with a high crinkle factor and high natural lanolin content. Products made from Texel wool are softer, thicker, warmer, and longer lasting. It is especially well suited to sleep products because of its superior durability, insulation, and moisture regulation.

Texel wool is harvested from a sustainable source without detriment or harm to the animal. Each sheep is shorn every spring producing about 11lbs if high quality wool. The sheep are raised organically on a land that has never been used for agriculture and thus, has been protected from chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides.

Using craftsmanship based on experience and environmental sensibility, the raw fleece is processed without the use of any dyes or bleaches. Bleached wool contains toxic compounds including highly toxic dioxin, something we all can do without. The wool is cleaned using a unique chemical free process that produces exceptionally clean wool, while retaining high natural lanolin content.

All wool used in Obasan's products must abide by strict requirements to be considered for use. In this way we are able to ensure the purity of our finished product.

Our wool must be free of any sort of plastic, baling twine, and mothballs. Fleece must be well skirted; no mat of hay, timothy heads, burrs, belly hair, manure, etc.

Processing is restricted, usual processes performed on wool are not allowed, such as; (1) Carbonizing, a process which uses carbonic acid to dissolve chaff, (2) Shrink proofing, (3) Chemical scale removal, and (4) Moth proofing. Any process that uses chemicals or produces toxins in the wool is strictly forbidden.

Finished batting can only be washed with vegetable based soaps instead of chemical pesticides. All fiber lubrication, static control, or wetting agents are vegetable based and petroleum free. Finally the wool must be stored in an unscented atmosphere.
