Studies revealed that sleep with real fur is good for your health. Animal fur has been found to reduce the risk of asthma

Nothing is warmer as an authentic fur. As a natural material, fur allows the body to breathe and is isothermal, keeping you comfortable and cozy, no matter the weather.

The new research, presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Munich today (8 September 2014), suggests that exposure to the microbial environment in animal skin and fur could have a protective effect against asthma and allergies.

Previous studies have suggested that exposure to a wider range of environments from a young age could be protective against asthma and allergies. These findings have not been confirmed conclusively in urban settings. In this new study, researchers investigated children from a city environment who had been exposed to animal skin by sleeping on the material shortly after birth.”

Experts, who point to a recent study presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress that found that sheepskins have naturally crimped fibres that form a cushioning support for your body. Scientists believe this is because each wool hair, or fibre, contains a three-dimensional spiralling crimp that acts like a miniature spring.

Regulate your body temperature

The natural temperature regulating properties in wool helps to reduce heat when it’s too hot, and increase heat when it’s too cold, so you stay at the right temperature.

Eco-logical

The fur trade is government regulated to ensure that endangered species are never used. Fur is an excellent example of “sustainable use of renewable resources,” a principle promoted by world wildlife organizations.
