Benefits of Alpaca Wool
The WASI Lumbar Cushion is made with alpaca wool , a natural fiber known for its exceptional properties. This fiber is extremely soft to the touch and offers warmth that surpasses that of sheep's wool. Furthermore, alpaca wool is thermo-regulating , meaning it retains warmth in winter and provides coolness in summer, adapting to the user's needs throughout the year.
-
Natural Softness : Alpaca wool does not itch or irritate the skin, making it an ideal choice for people with sensitive skin.
