Lambskins' wool has many beneficial health properties:
- Thermoregulation - It maintains constant body temperature.
- Ventilation - It is breathable and prevents the the body from overheating during sleep.
- Hygroscopicity - It absorbs 40% moisture, i.e. sweat, and is easy to get rid of during airing.
- Incombustibility - It's fibers are carbonized in fire; it does not spread it.
- Neutralization of positive ions - It replaces positive ionization caused by artificial fibers and products, replacing it with a negaive that is natural to the human body.
- Lanolin - The wool fiber coating hinders the growth of bacteria and dust mites, protects against dirt, and pollution stays on the wool surface making cleaning easier.
