About Mérinos d’Arles Antiques®

The Mérinos d’Arles Antiques®, the finest wool of Europe, gives the opportunity to weave warm, soft, and downy blankets for winter nights and mid-season. Naturally crimped, it brings bulkiness to cozy blanket lovers. Double-sided weaved in natural colours, it grants your bedroom a timeless decorative touch.

Unlike typical wools, Mérinos d’Arles Antiques® is not mechanically crimped. This superior wool is naturally crimped. Mérinos d’Arles Antiques® is unique as the micron size of the fibres is comparable to that of cashmere. Most merino sheep's wool is approximately 24 μm, whereas Mérinos d’Arles Antiques® is approximately 17-19 μm. Fine cashmere is between 15-19 μm. The lower the number, the finer the fibre is.

This unique wool dates back to the Louis XVI days in France, Merino sheep were imported and crossbred with the sheep in France which are known for their exceptionally curly fleece. Remarkably the qualities of fineness and curliness were retained, producing a very unique, resilient, and springy Merino wool. Over the passage of time and due to the wars that France had been through, the qualities of this special wool were lost as sheep were bred to produce higher yields of wool.

It was several decades ago that the owners of Brun de Vian Tiran were searching for this special wool in France, they had surveyed over 1,000 sheep farms in France, remarkably only finding the wool at 1 farm. These sheep still had the original bloodlines of this special Merino wool intact, a piece of Frances culture and history, just as much as Brun de Vian Tiran themselves are. These sheep have since been bred and multiplied into around 3500 today which produce exclusively for Brun de Vian Tiran. The finest wool in the whole of Europe with remarkable resilience and natural curliness without mechanical crimping make this a very special wool.

All About the Camargue Wool Duvet

The most incredible wool-filled duvet in the world.

Filled with the finest wool from Europe, the Camargue duvet is a truly phenomenal wool duvet. Available in three fill weights to suit different preferences, climates, and bedroom temperatures. Most Canadians will be well-served by the 300 gsm all-season weight if using year-round in a heated bedroom in winter (20°C or more)/ air-conditioned homes with year-round use. Or by the 500 gsm winter version for cooler bedrooms. For strict summer use or those of us that closely resemble furnaces, we would recommend the 150 gsm.

This is easily the most luxurious wool duvet available today. The Mattress & Sleep Company has never encountered anything even moderately comparable.
