Filled with natural wool batting and quilted into 100% organic cotton muslin, our luxurious Wool Duvet brings the ultimate year-round comfort - staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Always looking to support our local community, we’ve partnered with Custom Woolen Mills in Carstairs, AB, to card and sew our wool into these beautiful duvets.

Benefits of Wool
Temperature regulating
- Known for sleeping cool in the summer and warm in the winter, this property of wool eliminates the need for multiple sets of bedding during the year. This insulating property is also excellent for couples with different sleep temperatures, as wool regulates these differences and ensures a comfortable sleep for both partners.
Moisture wicking
- A surface that remains dry to the touch, wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water without feeling damp, making it comfortable to sleep under even for those who sweat during the night or live in humid climates.
Water, mold, mildew, and dust resistant
- Wool creates a naturally anti-microbial environment as it quickly absorbs and releases moisture. The thin waxy coating of the fibre contains fatty acids that inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria.
Natural fire retardant
- Eliminates the need to use chemicals and doesn’t ignite or flame easily. Wool is also self-extinguishing, and does not melt, stick, or release highly toxic fumes while burning the way synthetic materials do.
About Custom Woolen Mills
Custom Woolen Mills is a small, family owned and operated woolen mill located near Carstairs, AB, and they have been producing wool on machines that date back to 1886 for nearly 35 years.
Using a quilting machine invented and hand-built in 1945 by John Weselowski, a mill owner in Manitoba, the stitching pattern seen on our duvets is unique to their machine and cannot be found anywhere else.
We’ve partnered with Custom Woolen Mills to reprocess the excess wool from our mattress-building process by carding (brushing the wool fibers with wire teeth to align the fibers, turning it from clumps of wool into batting) and sewing the wool into our organic cotton muslin fabric to make for beautiful, natural wool duvets, a perfect addition to our line of natural sleep products.
Product Care
For the best care, we recommend sun bleaching and using a duvet protector.
Washing in a top-loading washing machine is also an option but it is very important to not agitate the wool.
Please read through detailed care instructions here.
Wool batting has a natural scent, as it is not treated with any chemicals. For this reason, we recommend taking the duvet out of the bag to air out before putting a cover on it.
Duvet cover is not included.
We've partnered with Wearth Farms to plant a tree on your behalf.

We have had a Black Sheep mattress and pillow for nine years and they have been worth every penny. Simply tremendous in ensuring a comfortable and sound sleep. We did not expect the wool comforter to be as good as it is. The weight is perfect, it holds shape, and it regulates temperature very well. We are on cloud nine...
Hi Adam, it was a good choice to add the wool duvet to the mix. Wishing you the most comfortable sleep for a very long time!
We have been using our new duvet for about a week now and noticed the difference right away from our previous down one. The Black Sheep duvet is light and airy, but warm and cozy. It looks extremely well made and feels sturdy. We appreciate the wool option as a sustainability choice, but the comfort and warmth it provides is a great bonus. Also very happy to support such an excellent local business. Highly recommended purchase!
Hi Retta, the wool duvet was a great choice! We hope you love your duvet for many years to come. Wishing you many nights of comfy sleeps.
We love the way this keeps us toasty warm but not hot. The natural fibres for our mindset as well. Thank you for a great product.
Hi Ken, thank you for the review! Wool is just a natural wonder, so when it’s a wool duvet it’s just extra goodness. So happy to hear you’re enjoying the duvet!
So cozy and amazing quality! It's nice and dense but breathes really well. It holds its shape really nicely in the duvet cover and doesn't migrate off the bed when we're sleeping (added bonus)! Love it and would recommend!
Hi Kristin, we’re excited to hear that you’re liking the wool duvet! It’s such a nice addition to the sleeping experience, during both colder and warmer seasons. You’ll get to enjoy it all season round! Bonus that it’s not a runaway duvet.
Love the Wool duvet, had a down duvet for the last 25 years. No fluffing needed as it stays in a perfect shape.
Having great sleeps.
Hi Karl, so glad you’re loving the new wool duvet! It’s perfect company to a cozy sleep. Thank you for your support!
