You see, the underlay has a natural spring and bounce that just does not get washed out, and the natural lanolin remains in the wool.  Barry didn’t just understand this, he saw an opportunity to share it with the rest of the world, especially the world of people who spend their days using and abusing their bodies, and look to their bed for a recuperative night’s sleep. He would finally be able to share with them a product that puts all those high tech back products to shame. He would share his very low tech, very high value, and very effective product with all those that wanted to improve their sleep every night.

I don’t think it was a coincidence that Barry Young met Cal Ripken, I believe it was a destiny that would allow them to improve the quality of life of people all over the world together. Cal being a little more well known that Barry, out here in the United States, agreed that his name would allow more people to hear about the product a lot faster, and so the Cal Ripken Authentic Wool Range was born. Barry’s company Herington gave it birth and launched it into the U.S.A. and now you folks get to enjoy it every night. Or you will very soon. You can actually buy the products and check out Cal’s great commercial on the web site: www.ripkenwool.com

It is a great product, you see the natural wool fibers of Ripken Wool products provide two major benefits: insulation and moisture management.

Natural wool has the ability to naturally absorb and release moisture (it can absorb as much as a third of its own weight without feeling wet to the touch) to cool or warm the body and thus regulate temperature. That’s how Ripken Wool creates a personal microclimate to suit your individual needs: it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.

Cal Ripken Authentic Range is natural, renewable, animal-friendly, non-synthetic and biodegradable, and is also a good choice for those who suffer from allergies as it reduces the damp/humid conditions required for the life cycle of the dust mite. It also just happens to be fire resistant.

So now you know the story of how it all started, here are some facts that will have you running to your local store to pick up your own Cal Ripken Authentic Range Wood Duvet and Underlay. You can also check it out and buy it on line at www.ripkenwool.com

·        Wool fibers regulate body temperature while you sleep because wool allows water molecules to move freely. This provides a consistently good nights sleep at your personal optimum temperature with minimum care and maintenance because there is little or no perspiration.

·        Wool provides a natural defense against dust mites, they just don’t live within the fibers and you can wash your duvet so much more regularly without it losing its fullness and loft, making it an excellent product for asthma and allergy sufferers, and particularly good for children.

·        Wool is naturally fire resistant, which makes it safe and suitable for everyone

·        Sheep wool is naturally sustainable and renewable, its production does not involve unnecessary cruelty to animals or the environment, and so it is eco and animal friendly

·        Wool is a natural fiber, which makes it biodegradable and recyclable

·        Wool provides a natural insulation for all seasons. It is light, warm, and comfortable all year round.

·        Wool fibers naturally retain their original shape. You will be surprised that you do not need to “plump up” of your pillows or duvets.

·        Wool “breathes” which means it can adapt to each individuals body temperature. Which makes it perfect for couples with differing warmth requirements. No more restless nights, because the duvet will keep you at a perfect temperature.
