What is cashmere guard hair?

Majestic cashmere goats are known for producing one of the most luxurious fibres known to man. 70% of their coat is discarded by the luxury industry. But we know better. Washable, naturally odour resistant, and hypoallergenic, these natural fibres are the benchmark for excellence in sleep hygiene. What’s more, cashmere goats are known to have a lower carbon footprint than sheep.

Our Couples Duvet with an adjustable tog gives an option to add an extra layer for deep winters – a favourite with our customers in Switzerland.

An Ava Innes duvet will last a lifetime when properly cared for. We recommend airing it regularly for that fresh bedding feeling. On sunny days, hang your duvet on your washing line. Wool is naturally antimicrobial, which means sunshine is all it needs to naturally cleanse. For deeper cleans, our duvets are fully machine washable.

Our cashmere guard and wool duvets are made from regenerative and sustainable natural fibres. 

British Wool certified, the wool we use travels under 200 miles from farms in the Scottish Borders to the family-run mill where our duvets are lovingly made and finished by hand, encased in certified organic cotton. 

We are the first to value the properties of cashmere guard hair, saving this precious natural fibre from by-product status. 

Every detail of the manufacturing process is considered. The sways of the curves echo the meandering rivers of Scotland, representing our commitment to sustainable practices and ways of making rooted in nature.

Once you've had the best life out of your Ava Innes product, you can safely allow it to decompose in your compost heap without worrying about microfibres or pollution.

Ava Innes is currently seeking B-Corp status.

Why choose cashmere guard hair and wool duvets?

Cashmere guard hair and wool are ideal for bedding. They are naturally antimicrobial, breathable, hypoallergenic, temperature regulating, and are regenerative natural fibres. At Ava Innes we believe sleep is the foundation of good health and wellbeing, which is why we only choose the best quality natural fibres encased in soft organic cotton for our duvets.  

Did you know that undyed cashmere and wool is a great source of nitrogen for your garden? Once you no longer need this duvet, the wool filing can be composted rather than going to landfill. 

I have allergies, is your bedding suitable?

Allergies associated with bedding often come from feathers which are more attractive to bed bugs and mites. Cashmere and wool is naturally hypoallergenic and breathable, which means they resist dust mites and mould growth that are common irritants found in synthetic and feather bedding.

Some people are allergic to animal hair and fibres, and therefore should look into this before purchasing. Research has shown that allergies of this kind are as a result of the lanolin found in animal fibres. All of the fibres we use have had their lanolin removed. Please feel free to contact our team if you have further questions.

Are your duvets fire retardant?

Cashmere and wool is naturally fire-resistant. The filing for our duvets and pillows have achieved BS 5852: Part 2: 1982 of the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988.

What are the benefits of cashmere guard hair and wool duvets?

Cashmere guard hair and wool are renewable natural fibres famed for thermoregulatory qualities, this means our duvets will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool naturally allows air to circulate, inhibiting the growth of any bacteria and mould. As such, our duvets are ideal for those living with conditions such as asthma or eczema. 

Is a wool duvet better than down?

We believe cashmere and wool are better than feathers or down for two reasons. It helps regulate your body temperature which is one of the main reasons why people wake in the night, and its antimicrobial properties also inhibit allergens caused from mites and mould. We are dedicated to using the most natural, responsible and environmentally friendly materials possible. Wool and Cashmere are amongst the most sustainable, natural fibres available as they are renewable and biodegradable. 

Why should I choose a weighted duvet?

There is a sense of reassurance that comes from a naturally weighted duvet. People have been using wool quilts and duvets through the centuries for their comfort to sleep under. The weighted properties of wool helps stimulate sleep by instantly calming and relaxing the body, promoting sleep hormones.
