Natural touch
Living Nature (horse hair)
Horsehair is taken from the mane or tail of horses. It was commonly used in the 1800s as upholstery stuffing and as covering fabric for furniture and in sieves, such as for sifting flour. It was almost always the fiber used to make shaving brushes. It can be very stiff or very fine and flexible, mane hair is generally softer but shorter than tail hair, which is longer and thicker. The quality of the horse's natural hair may play a role, as it varies to some degree by breed of horse and nutritional conditions. The processing given to horsehair may also impact its quality. In the 1700s it was commonly used in wigs. Until the 1900s, it was commonly used to make fine arts paintbrushes, along with sable, fox, wolf, goat, and lamb hair. Calligraphy brushes are made from rabbit, fox, or horse hair, among others. For thousands of years, fishing lines have been fabricated of horsehair.

Absorption (coco-fiber)
The coconut fiber is extracted from coconut husks and high-quality coir products are produced, which can be used to produce ropes, decorative Geo-textiles, yarns, sheets, floor mats, etc. Coir products are biodegradable. Brown coir is used in floor mats and doormats, brushes, mattresses, floor tiles and sacking. A small amount is also made into twine. Pads of curled brown coir fiber, made by needle-felting (a machine technique that mats the fibers together), are shaped and cut to fill mattresses. The good absorbing properties make make coir product indispensable in natural mattress making. The coir fiber is relatively water-proof and is one of the few natural fibers resistant to damage by salt water.

Warmness (wool)
Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling uncomfortable! This will ensure that your continuous and quite sleep during the night. It is gentle to skin and eco-friendly. Wool is nature's own insulator, warm in winter and cool in summer. As many wool products are sold to people in warmer regions as in the colder countries.

Gentle touch (cotton)
Cotton fibre is naturally soft, friendly to the skin and has the flexibility to be made into materials capable of coping with wide variances in atmospheric moisture and temperature. For almost 7,000 years, cotton clothing has protected mankind from sun, rain, heat and frost.
