About

This wool comes exclusively from Texel, an island off the North coast of Holland. It has a population of 13,300 people and over 100,000 sheep. The people of Texel have been raising sheep for over 600 years, and have developed a unique breed of sheep that is both hardy and produces wool of unrivalled quality.Texel Sheep have adapted to a very windy and harsh environment to produce a unique, long wool fibre with a high crinkle factor and high natural lanolin content. Products made from Texel wool are softer, thicker, warmer, and longer lasting. It is especially well suited to sleep products because of its superior durability, insulation, and moisture regulation.

Sustainable
Dutch Texel wool is harvested from a sustainable source without detriment or harm to the animal. Each sheep is shorn every spring producing about 11lbs of high quality wool. The sheep are raised organically on a land that has never been used for agriculture and thus, has been protected from chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides. Using craftsmanship based on experience and environmental sensibility, the raw fleece is processed without the use of any dyes or bleaches that we canal do without. The wool is cleaned using a unique chemical free process that produces exceptionally clean wool, while retaining high natural lanolin content. Any process that uses chemicals or produces toxins in the wool is strictly forbidden.

Processes

Application

Akwamat can be easily placed under your existing cushions or mattresses. The open structure of Akwamat provides perfect ventilation, keeps your mattress fresh and dry, and makes for much healthier air quality.

Unlike boats, campers and caravans usually don’t have a fixed-bed configuration. Even in these situations, Akwamat excels in its ventilation capabilities. Ventilation holes are often already present. If they are not, don’t worry; Akwamat delivers sufficient ventilation at the ends and through the cracks between the table and the benches.

In trailer tents, mattresses are usually located in the lid. In that case, you can opt for a slightly larger Akwamat. That way the Akwamat forms a lining on the inside of the lid, free ventilating due to its slightly larger size. This also applies to the alcove of a camper.
