Why does wool blanket feel so much colder than a generic fleece blanket?

969 viewsOther

I have always heard and read about how warm wool blankets are, but when I bought a brand name blanket to use at home, I found that I have never slept colder under any other type of bedding in my life. Is there something wrong with my blanket or is wool more marketing than substance?

I do antique wool blankets on beds in winter, and it’s fantastic if layered correctly.

From bottom to top: flannel bottom sheet, (person), flannel top sheet, loose weave cotton blanket, wool blanket, big fuzzy blanket.

The warm air gets trapped in the air pockets between the cotton and the wool, which makes it toasty, and the wool doesn’t touch my skin and get itchy.
