Traditional wool bedding production in Sivas

Overview

In Sivas, Turkey, residents have begun the traditional process of preparing wool for quilts and mattresses in anticipation of the winter season. This labor-intensive method involves cleaning, washing, beating, and drying the wool before it is fluffed and sewn.

While some residents noted that the tradition is declining as younger generations favor modern sponge mattresses, demand for traditional wool products has increased as night temperatures drop. Local artisans report that wool is highly sought after for its temperature regulation properties and its perceived benefits for individuals with rheumatism, back, and knee pain. The craft continues to attract customers from other cities and abroad.
