Why choose an organic wool duvet?
Our wool duvet represents the perfect balance between thermal protection and natural breathability. It's ideal for nights when outside temperatures drop near freezing, as well as for unheated bedrooms or sleepers who appreciate a more enveloping sensation. With a density of 350g per square meter, it offers substantial warmth while allowing your body to breathe freely throughout the night.
This organic wool duvet performs particularly well when nighttime temperatures range between 15 and 25°C, an ideal range for fall, spring, and even some winter nights in temperate climates. It's also perfect for people whose body temperature varies or who live in fluctuating climates.
The materials used in our organic duvet collection are all GOTS certified, guaranteeing their organic purity and ethical manufacturing practices. The organic wool comes from Patagonian Corriedale sheep that live freely in preserved pastures, without exposure to pesticides or chemicals.
The thermoregulating properties of wool for four-season sleep
The organic wool duvet offers unmatched thermoregulating performance. Unlike synthetic duvets or down that simply trap heat, wool creates an active microclimate around your body. It keeps you warm when it's cold but evacuates excess heat and moisture when your body temperature rises during the night.
This unique capability comes from the very structure of wool fibers. Each fiber can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture while remaining dry to the touch. This means that even if you perspire slightly during the night, your wool duvet will wick this moisture outward, keeping you comfortably dry. This property is particularly appreciated by people whose body temperature varies throughout the night.
An intelligent modular system to adapt to seasons
One of the most innovative features of our wool duvet is its patented clip system. This ingenious system allows you to transform your bedding throughout the seasons without having to purchase multiple complete duvets. When winter becomes truly harsh, you can simply clip our lightweight duvet to your mid-weight duvet to create maximum thermal protection.
This modularity represents a smart and sustainable investment. Instead of accumulating several bulky duvets in your closet, you have a flexible system that adapts precisely to your needs throughout the year. When spring arrives and nights warm up, you can detach the lightweight duvet and use it alone, then return to the mid-weight duvet when temperatures drop again in fall.
Complete your organic bedding system
To maximize the comfort and longevity of your wool duvet, we highly recommend pairing it with our organic cotton percale duvet cover. This tightly woven 400-thread-count cover protects your duvet from dust and dirt while adding an extra layer of softness. Organic cotton percale offers a fresh, crisp sensation that perfectly complements wool's thermoregulating properties.
To create a truly harmonious sleep environment, explore our complete collection of organic cotton sheets. Our Peruvian organic cotton percale sheets, grown without pesticides and GOTS certified, offer a soft and breathable texture that pairs ideally with your duvet. Cotton percale maintains a cool sensation against the skin, even when you're warm and cozy under your duvet.
Don't forget that nighttime comfort also begins with good support. Our selection of organic pillows includes options in wool, natural latex, or Hutterite down, all designed to maintain optimal alignment of your neck and spine. A good pillow combined with a quality wool duvet creates ideal conditions for deep, restorative sleep.
If you're looking to further enhance your comfort, our organic mattress toppers in latex and wool offer an additional layer of plushness and support that transforms any mattress into a luxurious sleep surface.
Canadian artisanal craftsmanship and quality commitment
Each Obasan wool duvet is entirely handcrafted in our Ottawa, Canada workshop. Our skilled artisans bring meticulous care to every manufacturing step, from precise wool placement to decorative quilting that keeps fibers evenly distributed. This traditional craftsmanship, passed down and perfected over decades, ensures that your duvet will retain its thermoregulating properties and loft for many years.
The luxurious quilting of our organic wool duvet isn't just an aesthetic element. It serves an essential function by creating compartments that prevent wool from shifting, clumping, or creating cold spots. This traditional technique, combined with premium certified organic materials, ensures uniform heat distribution across the entire duvet surface.

The health benefits of an organic wool duvet
Choosing an organic wool duvet means making a conscious choice for your health and well-being. Wool possesses natural hypoallergenic properties that make it resistant to dust mites, mold, and bacteria, without requiring any chemical treatment. For people suffering from allergies, asthma, or chemical sensitivities, an organic wool duvet represents a healthy alternative to synthetic products often treated with flame retardants and potentially harmful chemicals.
Moreover, sleeping under a natural wool duvet means you're not inhaling any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during your sleep. Synthetic materials can release VOCs for months or even years after manufacturing, creating a potentially unhealthy sleep environment. Organic wool, on the other hand, is completely free of these substances, contributing to purer air in your bedroom.
A sustainable investment for the planet
Choosing an Obasan organic wool duvet also means making a significant gesture for the environment. All our materials are renewable, biodegradable, and produced according to regenerative agricultural practices.
By choosing Obasan, you're supporting a Canadian family business that places ethics, transparency, and sustainability at the heart of its business model.
FAQ - Wool Duvet
What's the difference between the lightweight and mid-weight (warm) duvet?
The main difference lies in the wool density used. Our mid-weight wool duvet contains 350g of organic wool per square meter, exactly double our lightweight duvet (175g/m²). This difference translates to significantly superior thermal protection.
The lightweight duvet is ideal for warm summer nights, while the wool duvet (mid-weight) is perfect for fall, spring, and moderate winter nights.
If you tend to sleep cold or your bedroom is cool, the mid-weight duvet will be your best option. Both can also be combined using our clip system to create maximum protection during the coldest nights.
Does the wool duvet make you sweat?
No, quite the opposite! This is one of the major advantages of an organic wool duvet. Contrary to common misconceptions and synthetic duvets that trap heat and moisture, wool actively regulates temperature and humidity. It can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture while remaining dry to the touch, then evacuate this moisture outward. This means that even under a wool duvet, you stay comfortably dry all night.
The natural structure of wool fibers also allows excellent air circulation, preventing excessive heat buildup. Many sleepers who perspire under synthetic or down duvets find that wool completely solves this problem.
Can the mid-weight duvet be used year-round?
Yes, absolutely! The mid-weight wool duvet is probably our most versatile duvet. Its density of 350g per square meter makes it an excellent choice for approximately 8 to 9 months of the year in most Canadian climates. It offers enough warmth for cool spring and fall nights, while remaining comfortable during moderate winter nights if your bedroom is heated.
Thanks to the thermoregulating properties of organic wool, it also adapts to temperature fluctuations during a single night. For the hottest summer nights, you might prefer our lightweight duvet, and for harsh winters, you can combine both with the clip system. But for most of the time, the mid-weight duvet offers perfect comfort.
How do I care for my organic wool duvet?
Caring for an organic wool duvet is surprisingly simple. Our duvets are not machine washable, but wool possesses natural self-cleaning properties that make it resistant to odors and stains. To protect your wool duvet daily, we strongly recommend using an organic cotton duvet cover which is machine washable.
Regularly air out your duvet outdoors (in shade, never in direct sunlight) to restore its loft and naturally eliminate odors. If necessary, spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap is usually sufficient. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which could yellow the wool. With these simple care steps, your duvet will retain its properties for 15 to 20 years or more.
Is the wool duvet suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, it's actually one of the best choices for allergy sufferers! The organic wool used in our wool duvet possesses natural hypoallergenic properties. It naturally resists dust mites (which are the main cause of bedding-related allergies) without requiring any chemical treatment.
Unlike synthetic or down duvets, wool doesn't retain moisture, which prevents the proliferation of mold and bacteria. Additionally, our duvets are made from GOTS-certified materials, guaranteeing the complete absence of irritating chemicals, pesticides, or toxic bleaching agents. For people with asthma or chemical sensitivities, an organic wool duvet creates a healthier and purer sleep environment.
What size wool duvet should I choose?
Our wool duvets are available in four standard sizes: Twin (63"x86"), Double (78"x86"), Queen (86"x90"), and King (105"x90"). These dimensions are designed to be slightly wider than your mattress, creating an elegant drape on the sides and ensuring complete coverage even when you move during the night. To choose the right size, start with your mattress dimension and opt for the corresponding duvet. If you like a more enveloping sensation or a visually more luxurious appearance, you can choose a size up. For example, some Queen bed users prefer a King duvet for a more generous drape. Our sleep experts are available at 1-877-762-2726 to help you make the best choice according to your preferences.
Is the wool duvet suitable for children?
Yes, the organic wool duvet is perfectly suitable for children, with some considerations. For young children and babies, we recommend following safe sleep guidelines that suggest avoiding thick duvets in cribs. However, for older children (generally from 2-3 years old), our mid-weight duvet offers an excellent option.
Organic wool is particularly beneficial for children because it naturally regulates body temperature, avoiding nighttime overheating. It's also hypoallergenic and free from chemicals, creating a healthy sleep environment for developing organisms. The 350g density suits children who tend to kick off their blankets during the night well, as it offers enough warmth without being too heavy.
Where are your wool duvets made?
All our wool duvets are entirely handcrafted in our family workshop located in Ottawa, Canada. Although we source superior quality organic materials from the world's best regions, Patagonian Corriedale sheep wool, GOTS-certified Peruvian cotton, the final assembly, quilting, and finishing are done locally by our experienced Canadian artisans. This approach allows us to maintain rigorous quality control at every manufacturing step, ensure ethical working conditions, and support the local economy. Each organic wool duvet that leaves our workshop represents decades of artisanal expertise combined with exceptional natural materials. This local manufacturing also reduces our carbon footprint by limiting international transportation of finished products.
Do you offer a warranty on your wool duvets?
Absolutely! We're so confident in the quality of our products that we offer a 3-year limited warranty on our wool duvet against any manufacturing defect. This warranty covers issues such as defective seams, wool shifting due to inadequate quilting, or any other manufacturing-related defect. Your satisfaction and comfort are our absolute priority.
