A prescription for good sleep
If your doctor could write this prescription, Villgrater Natur would certainly be the chemist’s for beds. All doctors know that sleep …
- ... Is a regeneration phase, without which we cannot live. The body switches to restorative functions during sleep.
- ... Reduces blood pressure and body temperature, slows the heart rate, makes breathing calmer and relaxes the muscles. In this phase, the intervertebral discs recover from their buffering function.
- ... Replenishes the fluid in the intervertebral discs through subconscious movement, thereby allowing natural growth. When we get up in the morning, we are in fact up to 3 cm taller.
- ... Allows the body to release 0.5 to 1.5 litres of breath and body moisture into the environment each night. This natural purification process is promoted by the moisture and temperature-regulating properties of natural materials, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment.
Sleep is a gift of the gods. The best way to enjoy it to the full is to take advantage of one of the gifts of nature: genuine Austrian sheep’s wool for mattresses, underblankets, bed covers and pillows. People spend around a third of their lives in bed. That is reason enough to make one’s sleeping environment as natural as possible. The range of beds we offer make this possible for you. A healthy, natural bed made of pure sheep’s wool creates the protective sheath that our bodies need at night, as they need air to breathe. Your bed compensates for fluctuations in the ambient temperature, absorbs the moisture that your body releases, and it protects you from cold, heat and draughts. It is not just by chance that “sheep” and “sleep” are two words so similar they can be easily confused: every human gives off up to half a litre of fluid at night. Sheep’s wool can absorb up to a third of its own weight in moisture and returns it to the air. Sheep’s wool breathes and therefore creates an exceptional sleeping environment. It also functions like sheepskin: warm in the winter, cool in the summer. In order to ensure that it keeps its natural, valuable properties, the wool used in “Villgrater Natur beds” is washed in pH-neutral soda and water; other than that, it is completely natural. We comb the wool carefully, keeping the combing equipment at low power to protect the fibres; it is then laid out in layers and is not chemically treated or even impregnated, as is often the case. “Villgrater Natur” uses nothing but top quality natural materials that are neither dyed nor have a chemical finishing.
