Wool Carpets – The Natural choice for allergy sufferers
July 17, 2025
Is your carpet harming your health?
If you suffer from allergies or asthma, your flooring could be making symptoms worse. Dust mites, pollen and VOCs can collect in synthetic carpets or circulate in the air over hard floors. The solution? Wool carpets – the natural choice for allergy sufferers.
Naturally hypoallergenic, wool helps trap allergens, balance moisture, and purify indoor air. At Riviera Home, our handcrafted wool carpets combine comfort with cleaner living.
Why wool is better for your health?
Wool is a “smart” fibre with several built-in benefits that help allergy and
asthma sufferers:
Each wool fibre is coated in lanolin, which helps trap dust, pollen, and pet dander -removing them from the air and holding them until vacuumed.
Wool absorbs and releases moisture depending on humidity levels, creating an inhospitable environment for dust mites, mould and bacteria.
Unlike synthetic materials that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), wool absorbs them, helping improve indoor air quality.
Wool’s strong fibres resist fraying, which means fewer particles become airborne -another win for respiratory health. |

Don’t Forget Wool Rugs: An Easy Win for Hard Floors
If you have hard flooring, wool rugs are a brilliant way to reduce allergens. Acting as portable air filters, they help trap dust, pollen, and pet dander that would otherwise circulate freely.
Use wool rugs:
- In bedrooms or living spaces for cleaner breathing zones.
- As a moisture buffer, discouraging mould and bacteria on cold hard floors.
- For seasonal allergy zones – they’re easy to clean or move when needed.
