    100% British Bluefaced Leicester Sheep Wool Filling

    Our British wool filling is produced from 100% natural sheep’s wool, sourced exclusively from farms across the British Isles. Our wool comes from the Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) sheep, an ancient British longwool breed prized for its curly, lustrous fleece and exceptional fibre quality. After collection, the wool is carefully scoured to remove impurities, ensuring cleanliness and purity before being processed into a balled form. This process provides high loft and even distribution while preserving the natural structure, resilience, and performance of the fibres.

    Why choose our wool filling:

    • Temperature regulating - Wool’s breathable fibre structure naturally regulates temperature, retaining warmth in cooler conditions while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape in warmer weather, helping to maintain comfort all year round.

    • Naturally hypoallergenic - Resistant to dust mites and bacteria, our premium natural sheep wool stuffing is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers seeking a healthy, breathable and long-lasting filling.

    Use our wool filling for:

    • Cushions and upholstery (provides excellent loft and firm, supportive comfort)

    • Pillows and bedding (naturally regulates temperature for year-round use)

    • Crafts and toys (the perfect natural wool stuffing for handmade items)

    • Quilts and toppers (adds a breathable, hypoallergenic comfort layer)

    Bought to fill a knee support pillow to replace memory foam that was too soft. Also to top up a pillow. Large quantity supplied with lovely smell. Both pillows are now a lot more supportive and less sweaty!

    Thulasie

    Extremely pleased with the product, it was exactly what I needed to fill and revive a leather pouffe. Excellent quality.

    Matt

    Great natural product to rejuvenate old cushions

    Amy

    Bought a couple of kilos to stuff a long bolster cushion, was very pleased with how soft but firm the wool is as a stuffing material, how lovely the faint sheep scent is and how easy to use the wool was as well!

    I’ve bought 2 batches of the lambs wool cushion stuffing to restore the cushions on an old chesterfield. I love the wool - so soft and smells lovely. For seating it took more to stuff the cushions but I don’t mind because it’s lovely to sit on. I like to think I’m supporting British farmers in buying the wool. The service has been excellent and I would recommend this company in a heartbeat.

    purexcellence100

    I purchased 3 kilos of the sheep wool filling and absolutely love it . It is quite dense but very soft and will make firm but comfortable cushions and pillows. It smells heavenly and I have left out to air and the whole smells amazing. There is a lot there and I am sure I will be able to make excellent cushions and pillows that will hold there shape while being comfortable but I know I will definitely be buying more. Came carefully packaged and arrive quickly.

    Gale

    So plesed to find a natural, local stuffing material! The wool came quickly and proved lovely to use. I made some cushion pads and also plan to refurbish an old chair which has gone a bit flat. Smells fine to me…

    Gill

    Lovely product, made a gorgeous, large, very comfy, tufted cushion. Never want to use man-made filling again! Your service & delivery (by DPD) was excellent. Thank you

    Sonja Toogood

    I absolutely love this eco friendly wool filling which was recommended by a friend. Have stuffed my favourite chairs rather sad seat cushion and hey presto now have a firm comfortable cushion to curl up on! I will definitely be buying more to do other projects with. Service efficient even in these unprecedented times.

    Teresa

    Really pleased with this product (wool filling) and service from Cushion Warehouse, will definitely use them again. Highly recommended.

    Sandra Wilson

    Lovely product. 1kg stuffed 2 x 20cm cushions nicely. Does have a 'sheepy' smell but assume this will wear off in time. Fast delivery

    This product is a revelation, a great alternative to kapok and with green credentials. I'm using it to fill new cushions and replenish old cushions that have gone limp and flat. Very bouncy and dense material, and easy to work with. Very happy indeed with this new discovery. Also, (so far), a quick and efficient delivery service. Highly recommended.

    Robyn

    great quality, has filled our sofa cushions, now just need to buy more to do the rest!

    Catherine

    beautiful, soft, clean wool. would use this all day every day for my cushion projects!

    Very pleased with the quality of the sheep wool filling and the speed of delivery. Great service.

    Janna Senior

    Nice wool. Bought some, liked it so much I bought a load more! Few odd bits of grass or something in it but not a problem for me, I'm a happy returning customer.

    Moyra Fraser

    I absolutely love this eco friendly wool filling and will only use this now. It's soft but robust and the cushions I made are just wonderful. no lumps or bumps! The service was great, quick delivery, Way exceeded my expectations and so thrilled to have discovered this company.

    Anita

    Excellent soft wool that goes along way. I made a sleep pillow for myself because I have never been able to buy a pillow that gives me comfort and the support I need for my neck. The bought firm/medium are fine for a week or two then the support stars to disappear and don't get me started on the memory form because they were just as bad only more expensive.

    Lynne

    I bought this filling to make a yoga bolster. Packed down it is really firm, but very light so just right for carrying to class It is a really environmentally secure alternative to man made fillings. I found the quantity guide useful too

    Sandra

    I am so pleased with this product. I ordered a 1kg bag of wool for filling a leather pouffe, as I wanted an eco-conscious filling. Didn't know how much I needed and it wasn't quite enough so immediately ordered a 2nd bag. The wool is lovely quality and bouncy and came pretty quickly considering how the pandemic has affected deliveries. Proud to support British industry too - highly recommend, thanks.

    Adrian Richardson

    Filled cushions really well. It has a strong smell of wool which I love!

    Eleanor Kellock

    Super British product. Bought 2 kilos to replace polyester - filled cushion inserts and to make a pillow to my own density. The health qualities of wool encouraged me to buy another 2 kilos to complete the job!! 5 star rating well deserved.

    Gloria

    I'm really pleased with the wool filling for two sofa cushions, it gives good firmness and resilience. Easy to order, well packaged and arrived on time.

    Gloria

    Very good product, clean and with good buoancy, filled sofa back cushions extremely well. It arrived very well packaged and was on time. Ordering was also very convenient.

    Susan Bell

    Great ! Very pleased with quality of stuffing and with speed of delivery. I used the wool for stuffing a knitted nativity set & it's gone much further than I expected - perhaps I should knit another one (or two, or three....)

    LoisW

    Not a person of words but great product and natural. Thanks will buy again

    Joy Angus

    Excellent product. Good value compared to other sellers. I Used to fill a large pouffe which is perfectly firm and comfortable

    Jessica

    Fabulous quality product - bought 1 kilo to fill 3 new cushion pads (approx 30 x 30 cm). Very soft and gently smelling of lanolin. Will definitely order again. Only slight negative was with shipping - no dispatch notice sent so I was in the dark about when my order was sent/would arrive. The delivery company is Hermes, who were slow (package was with them 5 days before it went out for delivery), but when I contacted Cushion Warehouse directly they very quickly gave me an update on the delivery status.

    Eileen Smith

    Bought a kilo to replace the stuffing in a restored 1940's teddy as I wanted a natural filling in keeping with his age. The wool is easy to work with, pleasant to handle, and did not fly around everywhere or stick to the teddy's fur. It has given him back his shape again, firmly filled and yet soft to hold. With what is left I plan to make and fill two lap trays - much more pleasant than the poly beads with which commercial ones are filled. Delivery was quick, and although I was taken aback by the size of the box it came in at first, I'm pleased the wool hadn't been squashed down to fit something smaller as it was wonderfully light and fluffy to use. I'm very satisfied with what is a great product.

    Ann Butt

    I bought 12kg as I wasn't sure how much I needed and this was the minimum order to get free postage. More than I expected! Two larges cartons very tightly packed. Fabulous stuff. Have made 5 cushions 60 x 60cm, 2 cushions 40 x 40cm, 5 pillows and a padded backing for a 180 cm hanging cushion above a built-in seating area. I have only used 10kg so will use the rest to replace the old feather pads in some of my other cushions. The wool is lovely to work with and great value for money.

    Pippa

    I bought some of this stuff on a whim, I was searching for something to fill a dog bed with and liked the idea of a natural and British product. In the end I opted for different product (cluster fibre filling) as the wash temp is only 30? and that's not hot enough for a dog bed. It is lovely, soft and cosy. It does have that sheepy smell but only mildly and then I washed some to see what happened. The smell was reduced and personally I don't mind the smell anyway and if anything it became even more soft and fluffy. If you do try it and wash it don't do what I foolishly did and pop some in a lingerie washing bag into the machine (to contain it) as the bulk of it remained in the bag but a certain amount of fibre filtered it's way out and I had to vacuum out the interior of the washing machine (once it had dried off) and the tumble dryer. I'm going to try a previous reviewer's idea and make a floor cushion to rest my feet on and keep them warm in winter, feather proof liner I think!

    sarah

    Wow, this wool filling is lovely. Just filled a pouffe and a large floor cushion with it, and both look and feel great and of course is totally natural. I emailed before placing my order to ask for advice as to how much I would need, had a reply straight away, and the amount was exactly right. On top of that, I opted to pick up the wool from the workshop in East Sussex which is near me saving on postage. I will definitely buy more in the future when I need it.

    Fiona

    Really good natural filling for cushions etc. Lovely soft and squisy. Good service from company.

    I purchased the sheeps wool cushion filling and found the service very quick and professional and product to be ideal for my eco friendly business.

    sara garside

    Bought to stuff moon wool cushions, tried it in a pillow case as well, and consequently liked it so much have ordered more as the cushions are still waiting to be filled

    Anonymous

    Wow! I recently purchased some wool stuffing from you and I am so pleased with the service and the cushion filling, I felt it necessary to tell you! Firstly, the website was easy to navigate and I found what I was looking for very quickly. Secondly, it was simple to place my order and make payment, with no hidden costs! Thirdly, my parcel arrived almost instantly.........so fast it must have been jet propelled. It arrived three days after purchase and on that day my mother and I spent the afternoon re-stuffing our poor tired cushions. They now look and feel so much better and at a fraction of the cost of buying new (which would go flat and shapeless in no time at all)! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great quality, excellent service............and produced in our own country! Fabulous! I shall recommend your company to everybody i know!

    I have recently bought the wool filling and now ordered some more. It is an excellent product , beautifully soft and very comfortable. Very good value for money too.

    Sarah Gill Interiors

    Thank you Cushion Warehouse. Your product of wool filling, has been an excellent alternative, for my eco conscious customer. The cushions look fabulous, not at all lumpy. ( I thought they might have been). I will happily recommend you to any one needing wool filling. Also your customer care was second to none! You kept me up to date on delivery by phone and iPad. I cannot fault you.

    Kay Coudé

    I bought this wool filler to make 2 cushions It feels wonderful when handling it And wouldn’t hesitate to buy again from this seller I didn’t expect it to take so long to be delivered as it wasn’t free delivery The package was dispatched quickly by the seller but My Hermes took a few days to deliver !!! However thar aside I am delighted with the product Thank you Recommend this seller to all

    Kay Coudé

    I am going to make a floor cushion for my feet because if my feet and ankles get cold my legs ache this wool filling will be perfect to sink my feet into for warmth without being trapped in slippers or socks Perfect I personally thought Hermes took a while to deliver especially as it isn’t a free delivery The parcel arrived yesterday. It hasn’t put me off returning for more though Thank you

    Jane

    This is lovely stuff. Soft, springy, and we think it smells great! We bought it to fill cushions, but I'm so tempted to make a pillow. And very happy indeed to be able to buy a British product. Only thing I don't understand is why more people aren't using this? Highly recommended.

    Liz Martin

    Lovely and soft and British. It was perfect for reupholstering my settee and filled the gaps the cats had shredded.

    spmonk

    I used to make top half of two pillows (bottom half = latex - all wool I found too hard, all latex too sweaty, combination = just right!) We already had a wool pillow from another supplier. This wool from cushionwarehouse is not as 'refined' - it is clean but stil contains flecks of vegetation, far too small to be aware of in use. However this wool, at less than a quarter of the price of the other, is much better value, and I honestly can't tell the difference in use. I could not detect any particular smell from the wool. I have been using the pillows for a couple of months now and am very pleased with them. I am seriously considering making a duvet with more of this - would be much much cheaper than buying one ready made! Very happy to recommend this product.

    Alya

    Excellent service and product. I used the filling to top us the rectangular cushion pads I bought together. It is now two weeks I have been using the wool filled pillows and My husband and I are waking up without neck pain. The first time I thought I filled the pillow a lot as if I put my head onto a rock BUT I just fall asleep and did not wake up to a neck pain and My husband stopped snoring. The gentle giant looks like a rock but in fact is softer than anything you can call a soft material you sleep on. I have made a pillow with the filling and gave to my 86 years old Mum. She is very contented. The bottom line is since we have started to use the wool fillings as pillows three of us felt very assured of contentment comfort secure and safe enough that we will wake up happy and contented. We have been wake up to the feeling that as if someone is hugging us throughout of the night making sure we feel safe and well looked after! It is ever so easy to use the filling to make up whatever you like. There is no odor whatsoever. we slept on the pillows I filled the same day the filling arrived. Thank you.

    Martin J Pollock

    I have a batwing pillow, in the shape of a bat's wing and designed for people who like to read sitting up in bed. The problem was the materials, both pillow and pillowcase were made of polyester. I had pillowcases and a pillow cover made locally in pure cotton, but needed a pure wool filling. The wool filling is softer and will be essential in the warm summer months. I am delighted with the result.

    John Burt

    Very pleased with this BRITISH wool. We have made two comfortable but firm pillows, will be ordering more of this natural product to fill cushions in the future. PS we do like the smell of lanolin.

    Nicola

    Lovely and surprisingly soft wool. Comes in a big reinforced plastic bag, excellently packed. Was more than enough for my bedroom pillow - I bought 1 kilo and could easily make 3 low pillows from the amount of wool purchased. Didn't really notice/wasn't at all bothered by the 'smell'? Will also use for cat bedding and lounge pillows. Didn't create any fluff. Very happy with product.

    Tracey

    prompt service and just what we wanted to stuff children's toys too.. This is the second order from you and same quality and prompt service.. thanks so much

    Sarah Bayley

    Great advice and excellent service. Sheep wool is the perfect filling for my floor cushions.

    Vishaal

    I'm very pleased with this product. I was looking for creating my own pillow with nature filling, as everything ready made was just not working for me. The product provided is exactly what was expected and is doing a great job. Thank you team.

    Anita

    Absolutely delighted. I have a neck problem and have spent a fortune on expensive pillows, which have been a waste of money. They have been fine for a few months and then rubbish, no support at all. It was for this reason I decided to make my own pillow, I ordered 3kilos of wool, I knew that was more than I needed but I thought I could stuff the cushions with the left over. I made my pillow using an old pillow case and gradually stuffed it until it was the right height and firmness, I have never slept so well in years. Yes there is a slight odour but it isn't offensive, if the smell does put you off spray the second pillow case with lavender. Great stuff.

    Gordon Goody

    Bought to top up existing wool filling in my cushions - easy ordering process, prompt delivery, it's British, and it's easy to use - what's not to like?

    Nina

    Wonderful product - and not at all smelly! I now have nice plump cushions that don't collapse but support your back. Will be used for making a cat bed too.

    Melanie Johns

    Really nice natural product which is easy to use and creates a bouncy, soft filling.

    Carole Goodbourn

    The wool fill has made lovely plump springy sofa seat cushions. It's very easy to use and initial smell is like soap but once filled undetectable. I would definitely use it again as an alternative to foam/feathers.

    Fiona

    Fast delivery of this excellent product. Very easy to use and it does a great job filling cushions. A wonderful smell of wool (definitely not sheep) as one review said and I will certainly use it again.

    A Mapletoft

    Great product. Had a good laugh at the previous review about the smell of sheep. The smell is in fact lanolin, which fades over time. We've been making cushions out of this for over a year, which have been sold at some of London'd major department stores- so I disagree that customers wouldn't like it. Excellent wool.

    Tracey

    I have purchases this to fill toys. It works well and is far nicer to use than polyester filling... and it goes a long way.

    Hilary Williams

    Lovely and soft for filling but stinks of sheep. I like sheep but my clients would not for sure. So no good at all.

    Sylvester Gallon

    Easy to use, made firm but comfortable pillows, and overall a great product. Would and have bought again.

    Theresa

    I love this product. It is holding it's shape really well in a couple of very large square sofa cushions. It's so nice to have a moderately priced natural alternative.

    Beverly

    I'm Really pleased that I found and brought this lovely soft sheep wool, I made a nursing pillow for my new grandson and felt so much happier that he would be resting on such a lovely natural and safe filling than a man made filling. The Wool arrived quickly and well packaged thank you to the company I will defiantly purchase it again for other projects.

    sheilasmithtap

    I am pleased with this product [ and also the micro cluster mixture] I had at the same time for my cushions and upholstery projects. Initial bounce back very promising ; we will see how the product wears over time, but a 1000% better than the sad old cushions and saggy seats were, with a little effort and time . Delivery was quicker than expected

    Eunice Goodyear

    Fast delivery and kept well informed of progress of order. Beautiful product!

    Nadija

    The sheep's wool is beautiful. Its more than I expected. Will definitely be using more of it. Used to make neck cushions that are of a peculiar shape but the sheep's wool has gone into all the little nooks and crannies brilliantly.
