There are plenty of rumors that in some parts of Europe, people prefer wool sheets over cotton or linen. In Central Asia, woolen felts called koshma are traditionally used — even during hot weather. Curious, I decided to try wool bedding for myself. The result? Unexpectedly delightful.

🧵 First Impressions: A Bit Scratchy, Then Silky

At first, the fabric felt... itchy. Not painful, but definitely unfamiliar. However, after a few minutes, the sensation faded, and I no longer noticed it.

Next concern — what if I develop a wool allergy? But then I thought: no one sneezes from wearing a mink hat. So I dismissed the idea.

Then came the real surprise: my skin felt incredibly soft the next morning, like I had applied a moisturizer. I couldn’t believe it! Most likely, the wool microfibers gently massaged the skin during sleep — a bonus I hadn’t anticipated.

⚡ Natural Wool and Body Energy

When I shared my experiment with friends, they laughed and reminded me of that classic science experiment — rubbing an ebonite rod with wool to generate static electricity. "Maybe you're charging up like a battery at night," one joked. "That’s why you have so much energy lately!"

Funny — but kind of true. Our bodies run on electrical impulses. Devices like DENAS use low-voltage currents to relieve pain and promote healing. So why not think of wool’s friction as a natural therapeutic massage?

🌡️ Wool During a Cold? Old-School But Effective

A relative told me his go-to remedy during illness: two wool blankets, one under and one over. He claims it helps reduce fever and chills within a day or two — without meds. His tip? Don’t wash wool blankets too often. Just air them outside to maintain their natural properties.

🌿 Final Thoughts

After a few weeks with wool bedding, I noticed:

• More energy in the mornings
• No allergic reactions
• Smoother, softer skin
• Better sleep
• A natural warming effect — without overheating

It might sound odd at first, but wool bedding truly works. If you're curious and open-minded — give it a try.
