These gorgeous Felted NZ Wool Draught Stoppers will help maintain a healthy environment in draughty homes, by keeping the cold air out and the warm air inside your home - whilst delivering a subtle scent of lavender.
They are not only gorgeous to look at, they are gorgeous to touch. You should also feel good knowing there is more ‘New Zealand’ in these draught stoppers than any other.
A handy loop allows you to easily move the door stop if needed.
Draught stoppers are also known as door snakes, draught excluders and draft stoppers.
If you would like a custom length draught stopper we would love to make one for you - let us know the length you would like and colour of felted wool and we will confirm back to you with a price :)
Choose from 14 colourways - there is hopefully at least one which fits with your decor, or brings a smile to your face :)
We only use the best materials sourced through specialist NZ businesses.
"New Zealand's Pillow" is handcrafted from these local and imported materials:
- Japara cotton
- NZ farmed and refined 'Cloud' wool
- YKK invisible zip
- Spun polyester thread
- Recycled polyester ribbon label
- Calico cotton - drawstring bag
DO NOT machine wash the Cloud Wool Pillow.
We recommend removing the wool fill and washing the pillow casing as you would with any other white, cotton laundry. Washing in cold water will ensure no shrinkage.
Whilst the wool is out of the cover, take advantage of letting it breathe and catching some sun. Wool loves the sun as much as it loves the fresh NZ air. The rays will naturally deodorize, disinfect, and renew your bedding.
Alternatively, you can hand wash them in warm water with a wool detergent and let them drip dry.
You might notice a slight scent. It is actually proof the natural 'Cloud' wool is as pure as possible, and this will air out in time or sooner if you remove the fill and allow to breathe in the sunlight.
During product testing, we thought this feedback summed up the scent nicely "faint smell of a clean, healthy, warm barn... making for a healthy and loving feel to it.’’
Use the included lavender pack if desired.
Kind Face™ products might have small imperfections due to the nature of being 100% handmade.
Firmness guide: Medium to Firm. Remember, you can easily adjust the comfort level by removing or adding wool fill. Give the pillow a good shake and fluff up to rebalance the fill.
Approx 14cm high when filled, with light pressure applied.

Wool provides temperature regulation creating a stable microclimate and the ultimate support to help you have the best sleep ever.
japara cotton
The pillow casing is made from premium Japara cotton, a finely woven yet breathable and durable fabric. We believe it is the best option to ensure you get a long life from your pillow.
hypoallergenic
Wool fibres are covered in scales that trap dust, mould spores and other harmful allergens, removing them from the air and preventing them from being inhaled.
support local
The NZ 'Cloud' wool comes from Wisewool in Gisborne, where both the sheep and the environment are happy and healthy. Every pillow is hand-stitched and filled in our workroom in Avondale.
We believe in evolution, not more pollution
-
The ‘Evolution’ in our wool pillows is thanks to the legends at Wisewool in Gisborne.
They are responsible for taking their beautiful Tairāwhiti sourced wool from a raw fibre through to the luxurious Cloud fill. This includes innovative mechanical engineering which enhances the resilience and bounce whilst protecting the natural fibre's unique, organic state.
You can see the process for yourself on the Wisewool website - from where the wool starts in a shearing shed through to arriving at our workroom.
personalise "New Zealand's Pillow"
The pillows are easily adjustable, making them compatible with every sleeping position - and there is nothing to hide unlike synthetic and feather fills. Just open the zipper to shape, remove or add Cloud wool as desired. Enjoy.
Complete with a lavender pouch and calico cotton drawstring bag, which we make in-house.

Invite nature into your home, in a draught stopper
We're in awe of nature's power to revitalise - through textures, scents, and natural therapeutic properties.
It makes sense to us that nature features in as many items in our homes as possible - like the humble but purposeful draught stopper
Why Choose "New Zealand's Draught Stopper"?
The Sustainable Choice
We have to hand it to the sheep; they take care of the heavy lifting when it comes to sustainability. Their fleece regrows after shearing, making wool a 100% natural and renewable resource.
Its natural resilience also gives wool products a longer lifespan than their manufactured counterparts.
Furthermore, wool is biodegradable and contains renewable atmospheric carbon. So when it finally is returned to the earth, it fertilises and oxygenates the ground by releasing valuable restorative nutrients into the soil.
The flaxseed and lavender filling are both renewable crops and an environmentally responsible alternative to fills usually found in draught stoppers.
Looks good, feels good
We experience our world through our senses and not only will our draught stoppers look good in your home (or workplace), they are tactile and feel so good to touch.
The things we feel with our hands can remind us of things we feel in our hearts, textures and feelings have a lot in common. As humans, we need, even crave, tangible, physical interactions with things around us. The natural texture of the door stops provides that connection, enabling a deeper sensory experience - which has to be positive for our wellbeing,
Texture also has this magic ability to let objects ‘speak’ to us. Our sense of touch is deeply rooted in memory, eliciting nostalgic sensations from childhood and other precious moments, thus triggering the emotions we felt in the past.
Natural is just better
It is time to invite nature back into your home and move away from synthetic-based fibres.
Humans have an inherent love of nature, and some believe an inherent need to connect to nature.
Studies have proven both mental wellbeing and human performance are enhanced when natural elements are incorporated into our homes and places of work.
A healthier home
Draught proofing stops warm air from escaping your home in winter and hot air from entering in summer, saving you money and making your home more comfortable.
They can also help to reduce noise pollution from outside your home by acting as an extra barrier between your home and the outdoors, blocking out noise from traffic and other sources.
A kinder way of doing business
Our mission is to craft premium pillows, eye masks, duvets, and other essentials that help people sleep and live better.
Equal to this is being kind to people and planet - our makers, our suppliers, our community and our beautiful country shapes everything we do.

Our Materials
Felted Lambswool
New Zealand wool fabric has amazing natural properties that make it both durable and healthier for your home.
The felted wool is produced at the Inter-Weave mill in Auckland. Established as a small family business in 1976., Inter-Weave has developed into New Zealand’s only remaining manufacturer of high-end, residential and commercial upholstery fabrics, wool homewares and apparel. They believe by creating durable, authentic, beautifully designed wool fabrics, the world is enlightened to the natural beauty, sustainability and benefits of NZ wool products.
Canterbury Flaxseed
Our draught stoppers are filled with Canterbury grown flaxseed (and calming dried lavender flowers).
Flaxseed is a crop that has been grown for hundreds of years and is not to be confused with New Zealand native flax, flaxseed (also known as linseed) is a slender annual plant which is harvested during late summer/early autumn; the capsule containing the seeds shatters, releasing them when they're perfectly ripe.
The plant really loves CO2, which is one of the reasons we believe it makes for a better fill than sand or gravel.
