Why we love wool!


If you sleep on a Søvn bed, you won't be exposed to chemical flame retardants. The Søvn bed does, however, meet all federal requirements of flame retardancy. How is that possible? We use wool in the lining of our mattress covers. Another major benefit of using wool is its capacity to absorb moisture - reducing heat & humidity from the body. This characteristic makes wool a “temperature regulator” because it can protect the body in both cold and warm conditions.

Celebrity Couples Who Sleep In Separate Beds

You would be surprised at how many customers tell us they sleep in separate bedrooms.  Many report a more restful night's sleep.  They also tell us the like one another more since they don't disturb the other in the middle of the night.

Whatever works!

Born Toxic? Newborns have already been exposed to more than 200 potentially hazardous chemicals in the womb. PBDE's (flame retardants) are one of the "chemicals of concern" according to the EPA...finally! PBDEs have been voluntarily outlawed in Europe for about 10 years!
