The soft luxury mattress-topper

Softness and fluffiness of the Camargue mattress-topper to provide you with unique comfort and well-being experience. The Mérinos d’Arles Antiques® wool filling of the mattress-pad has been selected for its fineness, fluffiness and its unequaled softness. The combination of the wool filling and the open cells stitching favours air circulation and the draining of the natural moisture (perspiration) of the sleeper to provide him with exceptional comfort and peaceful nights.

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, where-as 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 the fineness and the 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.

Meltem Stitching
Innovative open-cell stitching provides complete airflow across the entire surface of the mattress pad. This results in exceptional physiological comfort by ensuring excess humidity is efficiently wicked to the edges of the mattress topper and away from the sleeper.
