Hi! I'm shopping for a new duvet insert/ comforter and am looking into wool. I've only ever used a polyester comforter before and I'm often waking up hot even in the winter. My room doesn't have great airflow and heat often gets trapped, making me sweat in the night even though I usually fall asleep comfortably. I live in midwestern USA, so we get both very hot and very cold weather (sometimes days apart), so it's important to me that this can be a year round option.
I briefly considered a down comforter, but I think it would just be way too hot for me unfortunately. I also considered silk, but I'm unsure if I would like how heavy silk is and the way it drapes for an insert. I also do need something that can keep me warm in the colder months, and I worry silk may be too cooling. This is why I'm now looking at wool. I've heard about how wool can help regulate body temperature and can be a decent option for hot sleepers, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger because of worries it may still be too warm.
I was specifically eyeing the Woolino comforter, and I would just go ahead and buy it if it weren't for their return policy. Does anyone have experience with this comforter specifically or have found that they get too warm with wool? I appreciate any input!
