CAMEL WOOL
PURE HORSEHAIR
After being vigorously washed and carefully disinfected, the horsehair we use is heated with steam and then dried. This treat- ment gives it its permanent spiral shape. Thanks to this structure, horsehair padding gives your mattress an additional softness and elasticity. For people who sleep mainly on their sides, these properties are important because they reduce the high degree of pressure exerted on the shoulders and the hips and thus promote improved circulation. Horsehair also ensures excellent ventilation and guarantees a pleasant feel. Its hygro- scopic characteristic allows it to absorb and neutralize perspiration. This specific quality is important for people who often feel over- heated, because it allows them to sleep soundly. At Elite, we select only the highest quality horsehair.
Camel wool has long been described as having miraculous prop- erties. It has been a precious material in Europe since ancient times. When applied to painful parts of the body, it can be used to soothe various diseases such as arthritis, neuralgia and rheuma- tism. It was prescribed by doctors in the past. The thermal qualities are close to those of sheep wool, likewise appreciated for elasticity and high capacity to absorb moisture and sweat. Light and soft like alpaca wool, camel wool provides superior comfort and helps maintain constant body temperature. It prevents the body from overheating and is hypoallergenic. As a natural fiber par excellence, it is often compared to the noblest natural wools, especially in the textile industry, where it is considered to be a luxury material.
We purchase our horsehair exclusively from a Swiss spinning mill that has dedicated itself to quality for six generations.
Experience has led Elite to choose horsehair for many of its prod- ucts because it is very long-lasting, and is a mark of excellence of an Elite mattress.
